Magic Hour

Hairdressing salon

Piper is sitting in a chair. She looks over and sees other women reading bridal magazines and she rolls her eyes. She picks up a bridal magazine off of a table and looks at it then puts it back face down on the table. She stands up and heads for the door. She changes her mind, picks up the bridal magazine and walks outside. She walks into an elevator and two women follow. They happily show each other their engagement rings and Piper pulls a face.

Outside the Manor

Piper pulls up in her car. She gets out and a just-married couple drives past in a convertible. Piper slams her car door shut.

Inside the manor

Phoebe is standing next to the table making 3D glasses. Prue, Andy and Michael are watching.

Prue says to Phoebe "She's gonna choose you. Like I did. Well, I chose both of you but what's the diff."

"Is not." Phoebe says to Prue.

"You get to hang out with her a lot more." Prue says

Phoebe says "You've known her longer. I mean, there was that whole bonding time before I was even born."

"Okay, she was one and I was three." Prue says and Phoebe puts on the 3d glasses "What did we bond over? Diapers and drooling? What are those?" She asks.

"They're glasses for the eclipse." Michael says

"They're very cool." Prue says

"Very cool." Andy says.

"I made you three a pair too." Phoebe says

"Thanks." Michael says as Piper walks in.

"Oh, good, you're home." Phoebe says.

"Hey, so, we were sort of hoping that you could settle something for us." Prue says.

"Sure, anything to keep my mind off of weddings." Piper says. Prue, Phoebe, Andy and Michael look at each other "What?" Piper asks.

"Nothing." Prue says.

"No, come on. What?" Piper says.

Prue says "Okay, uh, well, we were kind of wondering who you were going to have as your maid of honor." Prue says.

"Has Leo found a best man yet." Andy says "Because I have, Michael and Morris."

"Oh, well let me think about it. I'm not allowed to invite anybody or have a cake or a band or flowers, so what makes you think I'll be able to have a maid of honor?" Piper asks.

"It's not that bad." Phoebe says.

They walk into the living room and sit down on the couch "It's not like I'm some girly-girl and wants like a fairytale wedding, but I just thought there would be some things that would be givens." Piper says.

Phoebe says "Like fighting with the caterer and agonizing over who makes the final cut on the guest list?"

Piper says "Even those. I just, just wanna be able to celebrate a little."

Prue says "Alright, maybe you're not getting your dream wedding but you are getting your dream guy like I am and if Andy and I have to make it our wedding too then we will."

"Yeah." Andy says agreeing with Prue.

Piper sighs and Leo orbs in.

"Leo!" Phoebe yells.

Leo says "Shh!"

Phoebe whispers "Leo."

Leo says "I hate to be the bearer of bad news."

Piper says "Can't you possibly be the bearer of a big hug?"

Leo says "Not after what I just found out." He sits on the coffee table in front of Piper. "They want an answer, Piper, about us. Either there isn't any us or you guys get a new Lighter. We have till tomorrow night to decide."

Seriously? Wow that's so dumb. Michael says in his head.

Piper says "Tomorrow night? That's insane."

Leo says "Look, there is door number three. We can try and pull this off tomorrow night, if we do, it's binding. They can't even break that apart."

Piper says "Yeah, but if they find out they can break us apart into a thousand little pieces."

"Excuse me?" Phoebe says

"I believe the term he used was 'unspeakable wrath, the likes of which you can't even imagine'." Piper clarifies

Leo says "Look, I'm not gonna lie to you, we would be taking a huge risk and until they get an answer they are going to be listening very closely, so any talk of 'it' any use of the W word..."

Prue says "I hate to be the detail police but how are we gonna hide it from them when we're on their supernatural redial? They're always gonna be tuning in. Phoebe, did you find anything in the Book of Shadows about how to hide this?

Phoebe says "No, nothing. I'm sorry, I'm still on the unspeakable wrath part. I mean, is that just the bride and groom or does it also include bridesmaids?"

Prue says "Phoebe..."

"We can talk about it through telepathy I have a connection with all three of you." Michael says.

Phoebe says to Prue "What? I mean, there must be some real reason that this merging is so forbidden, their hardcore against it."

Prue says "Yeah, well, rules are meant to be broken."

Phoebe says "Bodies weren't."

Piper says "And neither were hearts. Leo, are you sure there's a way we can do this without getting caught?"

Leo says "If there is we'll find it. Just be extra careful. Speak in code and especially avoid using words like, you know."

"Hmm." Piper says clearly obvious that she don't know the words not to use.

Leo gives her a hint "Dum, dum, da-dum."

Piper says "Mmm hmm. Alright, you should go." They stand up and stand close to each other. "The less time you spend here is probably better." They move in to kiss but stop. "And we probably shouldn't do that either."

Leo says "Soon."

Piper says "Yeah."

Leo orbs out. Prue gets up and hugs Piper "Why are they so hell-bent on seeing each one of us so very, very alone." Kit growls from outside. "Kit?"

Porch

An owl is there and Kit has her claw up ready to attack it. Phoebe opens the door.

Piper says to Kit "Kit, leave that alone."

Phoebe points to Kit and says "Bad kitty!"

The owl suddenly turns into a naked man.

Good Kitty. Prue says in her mind

Opening Credits

Manor: Living room

Everyone is there including the guy, Christopher. He has wrapped a towel around his waste "Are you afraid of me?" Christopher says.

"No, are you planning on sprouting horns, growing fangs and eating us?" Prue says

Christopher says "If you work for him he'll do worse than that."

Prue says "Which him are you referring to?"

Piper says "Okay, hi, not that I don't enjoy the verbal ping pong here but we do have that other thing we need to figure out kind of quickly, so let's cut to the chase. Are we helping or fighting?"

Christopher says "What you saw happen to me didn't scare you?"

Phoebe says "If I had a dollar for every time an owl turned into a hot guy on our porch, I'd be rrr—" Piper covers Phoebe's mouth.

Really? Michael says telepathically.

Piper says "We've seen worse."

Prue says "If you're not here to kill us, apparently we're supposed to help you."

Christopher says "The only help you can give me is to allow me to leave."

"Nope. You stay." Michael says.

Prue says "I think it's pretty obvious, don't you, that uh, we're pretty familiar with the world of magic. We're sort of on the same team here."

Christopher says "But the last thing I need in my life right now is more magic."

Piper says "I don't think you understand."

Christopher says "No, you're right, I don't understand, because I stopped understanding when he cursed me and took my life away from me. The only thing I do understand is lost. The only think I want is revenge."

Phoebe says "Who did this to you? Was it a magician, a sorcerer?"

Christopher says "It was my boss."

Prue says "Just give us some time, I'm sure we can figure out—"

Christopher says "I've lost enough time already when your cat dragged me here. Look, I only have twelve hours and at sunrise tomorrow I am airborne again. I won't, no, I can't last another day repeating the same cycle. Tonight, this thing ends. His life and I hope the curse that goes along with it."

Prue says "Just give us 30 seconds, please."

Christopher says "Starts now."

Piper says "Okay, uh, there are some of my boyfriend's and Andy's clothes over there. Why don't you dress while we huddle."

He walks over to the pile of clothes.

Phoebe says "Well, he definitely has that whole tortured innocent thing going on."

"Yeah, but we're kind of busy and he doesn't seem to want our help." Piper says

Prue says "Been there, saved that, it wouldn't be the first time. Alright, you get ready just incase he decides to bolt. Alright, here's what we're gonna..." she pauses when Christopher is not there it is obvious he left out the doors.

"Look maybe I should follow him make sure he is safe." Michael offers.

Piper says "Oh, well, he's gone. That's too bad."

Phoebe says "Uh, Piper, we can't just ignore this. He was brought to us for a reason."

Piper says "Yes, but we have to find a way to hide the www... rutabaga before they catch on."

Michael gives her a confused look and Prue says "The Rutabaga?"

Piper says "It's a code word for the thing we're not supposed to talk about." She Hums the wedding song.

The wedding. Michael says to Prue telepathically.

"Oh, the rutabaga." Prue catches on.

Piper says "Yes, so let's do the divide and conquer thing, okay?" Kit is playing with the owl feather. "Great."

Prue says "I'll look in the Book of Shadows and try to scry with this owl feather." She picks up the feather. "You guys see what you can come up with for Piper's rutabaga."

Piper walks in the foyer

Phoebe says "Uh, maybe I should stay here and help you."

Prue says "Phoebe, Piper needs your help just as much as the innocent does, maybe more."

Phoebe says "I'm fully aware that we're supposed to protect the innocent, these are the rules that we live by now. I'm just not so sure we should be helping Piper break them."

"Why not? I break rules all the time." Michael says "My fathers rules." Michael says as Prue just looks at him.

"Nice save." Prue says

Bookstore

Piper, Michael and Phoebe are standing in line holding some books.

Phoebe says "I don't get it. If our ancient compilation of spells, witchcrafts and rituals can't help us, what makes you think Martha Stewart can?"

Piper says "You know what I don't get? Is why you're giving me such a hard time about this. Weren't you the same girl that was pushing me to say yes? If you didn't think I should have a rutabaga then you should've said so maybe, like a long time ago."

Michael hears both of there thoughts at once and says "Please guys think less."

Cole walks up to them "Ding-ding, back to your corners."

Phoebe says to Cole "Hi!"

Cole says "Phoebe... and..." He points to Michael and Piper.

Phoebe says "Uh..."

Piper says to Cole "Piper."

"And Michael." Michael says.

Phoebe says "Piper and Michael."

Cole says "Right."

Phoebe says "Assistant District Attorney, we have to stop meeting like this."

Cole says "You better be careful or a guy might think he's been followed."

Phoebe laughs.

Piper says "You better be careful or a girl might think her sister's getting a really cheesy pick up line."

Phoebe says "Um, so what brings you all the way across town?"

Cole says "I needed some source material on a forensic psychology case." If you can hear me I need to talk to you. Cole says knowing that Michael can read his mind.

Michael looks at him for a second.

Phoebe says "Well, I can see you're making a lot of progress."

He looks at his empty hands "Yeah." Cole says and they laugh but Piper's not impressed. A bookstore employee hands him some books.

Bookstore Employee says "Here's the info on forensic psychology you requested."

Cole says "Thanks."

Phoebe says "Oh, embarrassed, party of one."

They walk up to the counter and put their books down. Cole sees Piper's book "How To Keep Your Marriage".

Cole says "So who's the lucky guy or more importantly, who's the lucky sister?"

The bookstore employee puts the books in two bags.

Piper says "Me... me, me. Mimi, our cousin." Cole wiggles his fingers and Piper's books swap over with his Michael sees him do that. "Our cousin Mimi."

Phoebe says "Good old cousin Mimi."

Piper says "Love her."

Cole says "Well, I should probably get going. I've sort of got plans to accidentally bump into another eye witness over at the Gas 'N Sip's."

Phoebe laughs and says "Cute."

Cole says "I get cuter."

Piper says "Can we go now?" Piper grabs the bag with Cole's books in it and Phoebe follows Michael stays behind. Cole pulls out Piper's books and looks at the covers. They are called "How To Keep Your Marriage" and "The Secret Of Eloping".

"What is it?" Michael says following Cole into the back of the store. "What is going on?" Michael says and Cole grabs him by his shirt.

"Your father said that I had to stop looking after you, right after he said you summoned him." Cole says. Michael opens his mouth to speak but nothing comes out and Cole says "What's the matter? Are you scared of me?"

"No, I just…" Michael says but stops as he feels something deep inside him.

Cole says to him "Just what? Look I don't know what happened to you in that courtroom last week…"

"What happened to me is none of your business and I don't appreciate a lecture from someone I don't know!" Michael begins.

"No." Cole says "Bud. Everything about you is my business. Your father left me in charge of you and to look out for you. And that is exactly what I am going to do. Now you are going to go home and you won't tell the Charmed Ones anything about me." He shimmers out.

"Yes sir." Michael says flaming out to the manor.

The sorcerer's office

The Sorcerer and his assistant walk into a room.

Assistant says to him "I made another killing today. When you told the traders to buy fifty-four and a quarter, they were a little sketchy. Thirty minutes later everybody's rich and they're worshipping you like a God."

The Sorcerer says "Magic does take a bit of the risk out of playing the market. Unfortunately, none of my risks have paid out like they're supposed to."

Assistant says "You've heard it too?"

The sorcerer says "That screech. It reeks of despair. He's near, circling. He longs for her like I do."

Assistant says "Give it time."

The sorcerer says "I sought the magic so I wouldn't have to. It's been two months, the curse should've broken them by now. All this means nothing if I can't have what I want. I want her. Dismissed."

The assistant disappears in a puff of smoke. Christopher appears behind the boss and holds a knife up against his chest. "I am going to cut out your heart like you cut out mine."

Sorcerer says "Christopher, I'm impressed. In our time apart you've gone and discovered courage."

Christopher says "Would you like to borrow some?"

Sorcerer says "No, thanks, I'm trying to cut down. I have to say I'm a bit surprised to see you've managed to come so close. Note to self, chat with security."

Christopher says "A birds eye view gives a man a different perspective, different strategies."

Sorcerer says "Uh, yes, the curse. So tell me, does absence make the heart grow fonder?" Christopher jabs the knife in his chest. "Aaahhh! Do you really think that killing me will ease your pain? All that will do is ensure that the curse lasts forever."

The sorcerer flicks his hand and a man appears holding a crossbow.

The man says "You rang?"

Sorcerer says "What's it gonna be, Chris? You've got the wrong plan. The only way your curse ends it she gives herself to me but, ah, is he telling the truth? I'll let you know a little secret, I never bluff and he rarely misses." The man shoots the crossbow and Christopher jumps out of the way. He runs away. "Find him and kill him and if you haven't by sunrise, kill every owl you see."

Manor: Attic

Prue's looking through the Book of Shadows and Piper and Phoebe walk in and Michael flames in with Zeke

Prue sees them and says "Hey, I hope you guys had better luck than I did."

Piper walks over to the Book of Shadows and starts flipping the pages. "Not really. I ended up with the wrong books and, uh, well, Phoebe almost got lucky right there in the store."

"Define lucky." Michael says "Never mind don't."

Phoebe says "Ha. ha. So you didn't find anything?"

Prue says "Yeah, it's just the pieces don't really seem to fit, you know, I mean, I-I can understand cursing someone to be an animal but why for only half of the day?"

"And we don't know where he went, right?" Phoebe asks.

Prue says "No, I tried scrying with the owl feather but it must not work while he's human."

"I found something." Piper says

"On the curse?" Prue asks

Piper says "Um, no, about the, um, rutabaga. It's a ritual that's like a rutabaga but it's called a, um..." she writes down 'Handfasting' on a small blackboard.

Phoebe says "Oh, yeah, hand..."

"Shh." Prue, Piper and Michael say at the same time.

Piper says "The reason we write the bad words is so that we don't say the bad words. Wait a minute, I thought you said you looked in the book and couldn't find anything to help me."

Phoebe says "Uh, yeah, well, it said that we needed a high priestess and since we don't have one of those I just sort of figured why even mention it. Besides, I couldn't find anything in there about how to hide it from them and thinks that's the really most important part so that we don't have to feel the, um..." sshe writes 'unspeakable wrath' on the blackboard and shows it to them.

"You can say those words Pheebs." Michael says

"I'm confused." Zeke says

Later bro. Michael says to him. In his mind.

Phoebe says "Uh, I was hoping writing them down would help us remember them. Um, I'm just worried that if you go through with it, it's going to be too dangerous and that maybe, um, this is really hard for me to say, but maybe you're being a little selfish."

Piper says "Selfish?"

Phoebe says "Yeah, because what if your rutabaga keeps us from doing our job, keeps us from saving innocent people? What happens then?"

Piper says ""Uh, yeah, but what about me? I mean, maybe you're right, maybe I'm being selfish but what's wrong with that? I mean, when do we get to do something for ourselves? Haven't you ever wondered that, or wanted that?"

Phoebe says "Yeah, absolutely, but not at the expense of hurting other people or each other."

Piper says "Is that what you're afraid of? Getting hurt?"

Phoebe says "No, Piper, I'm afraid that you're not afraid of getting hurt."

Piper says to Phoebe "I've been through more pain in the past two years that you can imagine and this is the only way to stop that. Now, I'd like to do the right thing but I also want to be with him."

Piper closes the Book of Shadows and the owl feather falls on the floor. Phoebe picks it up and has a premonition of Christopher being attacked by a wolf.

"What is it?" Prue asks.

Phoebe says "Our innocent and I think he was being attacked by a coyote or a wolf."

"Is she all right?" Zeke asks Michael in his ear.

"Yeah, she gets visions all the time." Michael says to Zeke.

The sisters leave the attic and Michael and Zeke start to walk out when a demon flames in there way.

"What do you want?" Michael asks the demon who waves his hand and two more demons shimmer in "Wait, what's going on here?"

One demon grabs Michael and the other grabs Zeke and the demon in there way says "My apologies my liege but I am ordered to bring you and your friend here to the underworld."

"Well, that's too bad because I'm not going." Michael says

"Well, then I guess you don't have much of a choice." The demon says.

"Wanna bet?" Michael says. "Prue!" Michael yells and she runs up the stairs and sees the demons. She sends them flying and frees Michael and Zeke from the ones that had them.

"Go down stairs." She says to the two boys.

The demons flame and shimmer out and she goes down stairs and they leave.

Forest

Prue, Piper, Michael, Zeke and Phoebe are looking for Christopher.

Phoebe says "Alright, wait a minute, I think that this looks like the place... sorta."

Piper says "That's funny, I remember it looking like the right place sorta three hours ago."

"Guys calm down." Michael says

Phoebe says "Okay, look, if you wanted a supernatural LoJack, you came to the wrong witch. Oh, wait, look, that is where Christopher was standing in my premonition."

A wolf is lurking in the bushes.

Piper says "Shh, shh, what was that?"

They see Christopher and Prue says "There he is."

Phoebe sees him and yells "Hey!"

The wolf runs out and barks at the girls and the two boys.

Christopher says to the wolf "No!" The wolf runs over to Chris.

Phoebe says "Okay, Piper, you have to freeze him."

Prue says "Wait.'

Christopher says to the wolf "We don't have much time, my love, someone's coming."

Prue says "He's not attacking."

They run into an old house and face each other. Prue, Piper, Michael, Zeke and Phoebe watch from outside. As the sun rises the wolf turns into a naked woman and Chris turns into an owl.

Commercial Break

The woman, Brooke, who is now dressed, runs out of the house. Prue, Piper, Michael, Zeke and Phoebe follow.

Prue says to Brooke "Wait. Christopher wanted us to talk to you."

Brooke stops running and Phoebe says to Prue "He does?"

Prue says "I'm vamping. It's the only way to get her to stop." She then says to Brooke "Look, we met him last night, right before he went after the sorcerer. We tried to stop him but without your help he'll do it again and we both know what will happen if he does."

Brooke says "He'll die. How do I know that you're not working for him?"

Prue says "You don't. You guys can't do it alone so you're just gonna have to trust us."

Brooke says "Trust is earned."

She has a point. Zeke says to Michael, who nods in agreement.

Phoebe says to Brooke "Okay, I hate to break up the whole getting to know you portion of the program but what did Christopher mean when he said someone was coming?"

Brooke says "If Christopher went after him, then he must've sent someone after us."

Piper says "Why?"

Brooke says "Because he fell in love with me. This, this curse is my punishment for not returning that love."

Piper says "So woman by day and wolf by night?"

The owl flies past them and Brooke says "He's warning me, we have to go."

Piper says "Huh? Oh, alright."

They start running and The sorcerer's assistant appears with a crossbow and shoots arrows at them.

An arrow goes towards Michael and Zeke but Michael holds his hand up and says "Arrow." And it shimmers out of the way.

Assistant says to everyone "Where is he?"

Prue says "That's the least of your problems." She waves her arm sending him flying and he runs away

Phoebe says "Have we earned your trust yet? Come on." They join hands and Michael flames them all out.

Underworld

Jared is looking out a window in the castle and sees his minions return and he flames out to the gate. "You were ordered to bring my son. Where is he?" He asks.

"My liege, we were about to bring him but a witch came in and sent us flying away from him." The demon says "Not just any witch…"

Jared finishes his sentence "One of the Charmed Ones." He then looks at the demon and leads them into the commanding room. He gets to the front and says "My fellow demons, I am sorry to say my son will no longer be…" He pauses for a second "The next ruler of the underworld."

The demons all talk at once and only the word "What." Can be heard.

"Silence." Jared says "He is being protected by witches."

Out side the walls of the room another demon is standing there listening in "Protected by witches huh?" he says. "This might just be easier than I thought." He says to himself. He starts to think aloud and says "Could it be? Could I actually get to the most powerful demon in the underworld? I could force him to let me be in control of all the demons and by then not even the source can stop me." He flames out.

Manor

Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Michael, Zeke and Brooke walk inside.

As they become corporeal Piper says "I swear to God I've seen this in a movie somewhere."

Prue says "Uh, Pheebs?"

Phoebe says "Upstairs, Book of Shadows, curse search, way ahead of ya."

Prue says to Brooke "Uh, okay, you and I are gonna go to the kitchen."

Brooke says "I'm fine, really, let me help."

Prue then says "Look, you are tired and hungry, please, just let me help." They walk in the kitchen.

Phoebe says to Piper "Wanna take a wiccan time out and do the crossword puzzle?" Piper gives her a look. "Piper, uh, about what I said before, I didn't mean..."

Piper says "Yes, you did. You never say anything you don't mean."

Phoebe says "You keep saying that it isn't like what you'd have imagined and I do understand your side of it, I mean, I have never seen anyone look at you the way Leo does and that is beautiful and you deserve that but I still, I, um, I can't say that it's right. And I wish that I were wrong and it's important that you know that."

Piper says "The problem is you're not. There's truth to it, to what you said, I can't deny that. So unless you three you, Michael and Prue approve it I won't go through with it. Piper walks in the kitchen and Phoebe goes upstairs. Michael walks upstairs with Zeke and they go into the bedroom for something.

Kitchen

Brooke is reading a note left on the fridge. "We used to leave each other notes. When this, when this first happened I'd find them at sunrise and I'd know, I'd remember all the reasons why I loved him. And then..." Brooke stops

Prue says "The letters stopped."

Brooke says "There's a limit, you know, to how much any person can take." She looks out the window. "You keep wondering..." The owl lands on the back of a chair outside. "You keep asking yourself..."

Piper says "Shouldn't love conquer all?"

Prue says "You know this isn't fair. I mean, it's hard enough to find somebody that you can spend the rest of your life with but when you constantly have magic medaling, I am so sick of it. I mean, I've been through it, You and Michael are going through it and now Brooke? What love can't conquer we will."

Piper says "For everybody but ourselves."

Prue says "Honey, the day's not over yet."

Piper says "We're gonna need your help if you want this to end happily ever after. I know I could use a happy ending."

Sorcerer's office

The sorcerer and his assistant are there and The assistant is holding a blood soaked bag.

Sorcerer says "You come bearing gifts?"

Assistant says "I come bearing victory."

Sorcerer says "That's an awfully small bag for such an awfully large prey. If you'd killed the right bird we'd be looking at a dead human bleeding on my floor right now. You're foolish. Or deceitful. Either way, you failed."

Assistant says "He had help."

Sorcerer says "By whom? A pigeon perhaps? Maybe a penguin to the rescue."

Assistant says "Witches, and now they're with her."

Sorcerer says "Their choice in company is not relevant. The fact that he still lives is. I wanted blood in my hands. I don't have his so I guess I'll have to take yours." The assistant is engulfed in flames and turns into a pile of ash on the floor. The sorcerer talks into the speaker phone. "Clean up aisle two." Another assistant appears. "Congratulations, you've just been promoted."

Manor: In the backyard

Prue, Piper and Brooke are there. Brooke walks over to the owl.

Brooke says "I took a job. It was an established firm with the reputation for promoting from within." She picks up the owl. "My boss was this odd man. I'd worked for nightmares before but nothing like this. He made moves, I made things clear, he made me this."

Piper says "To keep you away from Christopher?"

Brooke says "He said if he couldn't have me, no one would. Until there was a night within a day or until I give in. I never thought... magic was for kids parties, it wasn't real. I didn't know."

Piper says "We're still kind of getting used to it ourselves."

Brooke says "But this, this is my fault."

Prue says "No, you said yes to a job, not to a man."

Brooke says "But Christopher is being punished because of me. I did this to him."

Prue says "That's not what he said. He doesn't blame you for anything and he said..."

Piper says "How strong you are."

Brooke says "He said that?" and Piper nods.

Prue says "He said that it's your strength that he first fell in love with. And he just needs to know that you're not gonna give that up."

Michael's Room

"I just don't know why he would send demons after me." Michael says.

"How do you know it was your father that sent them?" Zeke asks.

Michael sits down and says "Because those were his minions, the same ones that attacked me and Rosaline last year."

"Well, I would find a spell to summon them and find out for sure." Zeke says getting up "Come on." He grabs Michael's arm and takes him to the attic.

Attic

Phoebe is looking through the Book of Shadows.

Phoebe says to herself "Anything, anything. I curse you, you curse me, let's get together and do a little cursing." The pages star flipping by themselves. "Whoa!" The pages stop on the "Handfasting" spell. "Okay, alright, you know, I specifically asked for a..."

Grams' Voice is heard through the attic "You asked for an answer. There it is."

Phoebe says "I know that voice."

Grams' spirit appears "Well, I should hope so. Yours came through loud and clear so, here I am."

Phoebe says "Grams." She walks over to her. "Oh, I would hug you but..."

Grams says "I know. It's just good to be here."

Phoebe says "Yeah, and not that I'm not thrilled by that fact but I'm a little fuzzy on the why."

Grams says "You need guidance, some advice on a certain sister situation. Am I getting warm?"

Phoebe says "Red hot. But wait a minute, if you know, that means that they know, and if they know then we are f—"

Grams says "Fine. Anyway, I'm beyond them now. Secrets safe with me. But what about you, Phoebe? Do you want to tell me about that nagging concern you have in your gut?"

Phoebe says "That's no fair you have afterlife advantage."

Grams says "I also know you, Phoebe. Talk to me."

Phoebe says "Okay." She sits down on a chair. "Um, I wanna be able to support Piper in this. I want to look at her and I wanna say go for it but what if her and Leo get rutabaga-ed and they find out and then something horrible happens to them. I mean, look what happened to mom and her... special friend. And I hate to go skipping down selfish road but what if by association..."

Grams says "You, Prue and Michael get hurt."

Phoebe says "Yeah. I wanna be supportive to her, Grams, I really do but everything in my heart is telling me that it's wrong."

Grams says "All valid points but logic and reason go out the window when love gets involved."

Phoebe says "Yes, I know that but..."

Grams says "The Charmed Ones are destined for greatness. But that fact doesn't keep a girl warm on a cold winters night."

Phoebe says "So add a blanket. Grams, I can't believe you're saying this."

Grams says "I'm saying what I know. I remember the loneliness all too well."

Phoebe says "You were married four times."

Grams says "Well, that's because I never found true love but maybe Piper has and when the time comes for them to make it official, they'll feel it, they'll know."

Prue yells from downstairs "Phoebe? Mikey?" Right as Michael and Zeke walk through the door.

Phoebe says "Coming." Grams disappears. "Thank you."

"Wait was that grams?" Michael asks as Phoebe runs down the stairs.

The demon flames in front of them "Hello Michael."

Michael forms an energy ball and throws it at the demon but it doesn't do anything "What happened? My father sent you didn't he?" Michael asks.

The demon laughs a little and says "No your father did not send me. I've been after you for a long time." He walks closer to Michael and grabs him.

"Mikey…" Zeke says and the demon looks at him and holds his hand out using his power to trap him by the wall and choking him with his power.

"No stop." Michael says to the demon who just laughs a little "Please, I will give you anything you want."

Downstairs

Assistant #2 is chasing them around the house with a crossbow. Piper gets stuck against the wall with two arrows stuck on her sleeves. Phoebe walks downstairs and he shoots an arrow near them. Phoebe gasps. Prue uses her power and he crashes into a cupboard.

Piper says "Pheebs, a little help here please." Prue and Phoebe pull out the arrows. "Okay, he could've killed me."

"Us." Phoebe clarifies

Prue says "The question is, why didn't he?"

Assistant #2 says "Because I don't want you. I want the bird, where is he hiding?"

Brooke walks into the room and the assistant points the crossbow at her. The owl flies in front of her and he shoots getting the owl.

Brooke says "No!"

Prue uses her power and an arrow flies into the assistant. He disappears in a puff of smoke. Prue, Piper and Phoebe run over to the Brooke. Brooke is crying. She picks up the owl.

Attic

The demon thinks a little and keeps Zeke on the wall but stops choking him "You really shouldn't have said that." The demon says.

"Uh-oh." Michael says as he knows trouble is coming up

"Uh-oh is right." The demon says.

"Mikey!" Zeke says

The demon says to Michael "I've been watching you, Michael. I know that you and your Pal here summoned your father last week. Your father said he was trying to protect you, am I right?"

"Yes, but he wouldn't tell me what he was protecting me from." Michael says

"From me." The demon says "See I was the one who made that threat in the underworld not Mr. S or whatever his name is. And since your father is now out of your life, your strength in demonic power has been weakened, and that means you and…" He looks at Zeke "Buddy, here are under my control." Michael looks at him with fear in his eyes. Michael just now realized his father was right. The demon flames them out.

Commercial Break

Demon's place

The demon flames in with Zeke and Michael, Michael starts to back away slowly. "Where are we?" Michael asks the demon.

"I don't know really." The demon says.

"What?" Michael says "You bring me someplace and don't even know where we are?"

"Silence." The demon says holding his hand out and Michael is suddenly quiet "This place is protected from scrying and sensing so I'd get used to being here. I'll be back." He flames out.

Manor: Living room

Phoebe walks into the room and says "Uh, has anyone seen Michael or Zeke around?"

"No. Why?" Piper asks

"Because I cannot find them anywhere. Maybe a demon got to them." Phoebe says.

Everyone turns to Brooke who is holding the owl and Prue says to her "He'll be alright."

Brooke says "I know, that's the right thing for you to say, but you don't know that. Now all I can do is watch him die."

Prue says "No, we can do a lot more than that."

Piper says "You know I can't, not now, not while they're watching."

Prue says "Piper, this has absolutely nothing to do with us and everything to do with an innocent. Besides Michael and Zeke are missing too." Piper closes her eyes and Leo orbs in. "Leo, we, uh..."

Leo says "I know, they told me about the bad guys. The vanquishing talk caught their ears not the other thing."

Prue says to Brooke "Leo's a healer."

Leo walks over to Brooke and the owl. "I can't heal animals."

Phoebe says "Well, we can't take him to the vet."

Piper says "He's not exactly an animal."

Leo tries to heal the owl.

Prue then says to Leo "He is until sunset."

Phoebe says "So you're saying we have to wait?"

Leo says "I'm sorry."

The doorbell rings and Phoebe answers it.

Cole says "1329 Prescott St." He holds out the bag of books and Phoebe looks confused. "On the receipt. In the bag." He looks for it. "It was there. That sounded much better in my head."

Phoebe laughs and says "They gave you our books and you thought you'd drop them by."

Cole says "That wasn't so hard when you said it. I actually need the ones I bought, so if you don't mind I..."

Phoebe says "Of course you do, okay." Phoebe goes to get the books. Cole starts to follow but she stops him. "Oh, actually, uh, you know, my sisters sort of got into it today so the place is a disaster, it's like a bomb went off. So if you don't mind just waiting here that would be great." She closes the door, gets the books and opens the door back up. "Hi!" She hands the to him. "So, you going back to the office?"

Cole says "Justice must be served, right?"

Phoebe says "Tell me about it."

Leo walks into the foyer "Phoebe, everything okay? I was starting to get worried. Hey."

Phoebe says "Um, Cole, Leo. Leo, Cole."

Leo says "Nice to meet you."

They shake hands and some of Leo's Whitelighter dust rubs off onto Cole's hand "Pleasure." Cole says.

Leo says "Sorry to, uh..."

Cole says "No, no, I was just leaving. I really need to take care of some business." Leo and Phoebe go back inside. Cole walks down the stairs. He puts his suitcase down and gets a handkerchief out of this jacket pocket. He wipes his hand. "Whitelighters always were messy." He then says to his shadow "Report this." His shadow floats down the stairs and goes down a drain.

Back in the living room

Piper is talking to Brooke and says "Did you ever think, did you ever consider that maybe it wasn't meant to be?" Phoebe and Leo walk in. "Things happen for a reason, right? Maybe it's not worth the risk to be together.'

Brooke says "If you don't take the risk for love, then what do you take it for?"

Phoebe clears her throat. Leo walks outside

Piper runs after him "Leo, wait."

Rosaline orbs in at that second and says "Has anybody seen Michael?"

"No, ok now I am worried." Phoebe says.

"I'll be right back." Rosaline says orbing out.

Outside

Leo is walking down the stairs and Piper follows him "Leo, wait, you can't do that. You can not come into the end a conversation and assume that you know everything."

Leo says "Alright, let's pretend that I don't know anything. Then explain it to me. "

Piper says "I wasn't questioning you, I was questioning our decision."

Leo says "Then ask me your questions."

Piper says "Don't you think I would like to?"

Leo says "Honestly, I don't know what you're thinking."

Piper says "Well, what I'm thinking is maybe Phoebe is right. Maybe we're being selfish, our decision affects other people, other people that I happen to love."

Leo says "I love them too, Piper."

Piper says "I know, I know that. Look, you are the last person I wanna be fighting with right now."

Leo says "Then let's stop."

Piper says "Leo, if we get... if you and... Okay, let me try that again. Brooke and Christopher love each other very much but in the end that didn't matter."

Leo says "We haven't reached the end yet. Have a little faith. Don't you think this scares me too? Don't you think that I have my doubts?"

Piper says "Do you?"

Leo says "Of course I do. What I'm trying to say is I know what Christopher must feel. You know, always worried about the timing, about how he has to live his life, knowing what his true feelings are but unable to share those with the one person that he has them for."

Piper says "She knows but it doesn't fix everything."

Phoebe says from the grass beside them "You've gotta give it a chance." Phoebe is standing on the lawn holding a small blackboard. "Logic and reason go out the window when love gets involved." She holds up the blackboard and "You have my blessing" is written on it.

Piper says "Wait a minute, I thought you said that..."

Phoebe says "Yeah, well, I got a long distance call with some really good advice."

Piper says "But we still haven't figured out how to pull it off."

Phoebe says "When the time's right, you'll know."

Underworld

Rosaline orbs in and the guards grab her "wait…no wait." She yells and Jared turns his head to face her.

"Let her go." Jared says and the guards put her down "I thought I was very clear to Michael not to be here anymore. What are you doing here?"

"Mr. Gonzalez sir, Michael is missing and I cant sense him." She says

"Come with me." He says walking into the castle and ordering the demons to start a search party.

Manor: living room

Brooke is there still holding the owl "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I can't let you die. Please forgive me, please forgive me." She puts him on the couch.

Outside

Phoebe is looking up at the sky

Piper says "That's quite a turnaround for you, sis. Who's your new confidante?"

Phoebe says "Huh?"

Leo says "I think she means your advice giver."

Phoebe says "Uh, it was just... oh my God."

She blocks her face with the blackboard.

Piper says "Nice try, Pheebs, but the distraction technique stopped working in third grade."

Phoebe says "No, it's not a technique, it's an eclipse. Look at it." They do so. "No, wait, don't look at it. Trust me. I totally forgot that the eclipse was t... day. A night within a day."

Piper says "I'm sorry, please repeat."

Phoebe says "The curse, the eclipse. Until a night within a day. Isn't that what Brooke said? That's what gonna break the curse." She runs inside. "Prue, it's happening."

Living room

The owl has turned back into Christopher and Everyone walks in.

Prue says "Leo, it just happened. Please help him."

Phoebe says "This proves the theory. It's the eclipse."

Christopher tries to sit up.

Leo says "Whoa, whoa, you're not going anywhere."

Christopher says "Brooke."

Prue says "Just rest, okay, we'll tell her."

Christopher says "You can't, she's gone."

Phoebe says "What do you mean she's gone? She was in the kitchen when I left."

Prue says "She's gone to him hasn't she? Alright, we'll handle it while Leo works on you."

Leo walks over to Christopher and He pulls out the arrow and heals him.

Christopher says "Thank you."

Piper says "I don't understand. Why would Brooke go to him?"

Chris says "She didn't trust that you would be able to save me but she knows that she can."

Phoebe says "How?"

Christopher says "The curse. If at anytime she agrees to be with him, seals the pledge with a kiss..."

Piper says "She'll be forever bound."

Phoebe says "But the eclipse changes that."

Prue says "Yeah, but she doesn't know that."

Sorcerer's office

The sorcerer and three men are there.

Sorcerer says "He's off the radar then he's more then failed, which leaves a space open for one of you to fill and you do that by killing the owl."

Brooke walks in and says "I was hoping you would take me instead."

Commercial Break

Demon's place

Michael is pacing back and forth while Zeke sits at a table. "Rosaline? Leo? Anybody?" Michael yells. "No one can hear me calling them."

Zeke suddenly has an idea "No but they can feel you calling right? With the summoning spell?"

"Yeah." Michael says and then he starts to chant "'Powers of the witches rise course unseen across the skies come to us who call you near come to us and settle here.'"

Sorcerers place

Brooke and the sorcerer are now facing each other

Brooke says "Aren't you going to kiss me?"

Sorcerer says "Brooke, I may be cheap but I'm not easy. No, wait, yes I am. You're only doing this to save him aren't you? That's okay, it's quite obvious. You know what? I don't care. You'll grow to love me."

Brooke says "I have your insurance that Chris will not be harmed again?"

Sorcerer says "You have my love. Isn't that enough?"

Outside

Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Chris walk in the building. Piper freezes everyone. They start walking up the corridor.

Phoebe says "T minus and counting."

Piper says "Then we get to break into Attica."

Phoebe says "Well, we do have other choices. We can climb the roof or see if there's a convenient and unguarded side entrance. Or we could use the Wonder Twin powers."

Piper stops as orbs barely surround her but stop "Ugh. I don't feel so..." Piper says.

Prue says "What is it?"

Piper says "I don't know, I don't have a good feeling about this. Wait a minute, I take that back. I do have a good feeling about it, about something. I feel all warm and fuzzy."

Prue says "Is it your stomach?"

Piper says 'No, it's here." She pats her chest.

Phoebe says "When the time is right you'll know. Oh my God, the time is right."

Prue says "The time for what?"

Phoebe says 'The, uh, the wed... the rutabaga. It's gotta be the eclipse. If we can't look up, that must mean that they can't look down."

Prue gets all excited as orbs barely start to surround her but stop. "Oh! Oh! Oh! Ooh, this is it, this is it. Okay, all we have to do is get home and..."

Phoebe says "And do the ritual and let Leo know and call the florist and we gotta d-d..." Piper stops her. "What's, what?"

Piper says "We've gotta get to Brooke."

Phoebe says "Right, we've gotta get to Brooke and then we gotta get home."

Piper says "No, we only got time for one. So we either save Brooke..."

Christopher says "Piper, go home. Of all people I understand this, alright, and so would Brooke. I can handle this on my own."

Piper says "No. Alright, we'll go in the front."

Sorcerer's office

He and Brooke are leaning in ready to kiss when the door flies open.

Sorcerer says "Oh, look, it's the girl scouts. Set your thin mints down on the table and leave before you get yourselves hurt."

Prue says "Let her go."

Sorcerer says "I have no fear of witches."

Prue says to him "Maybe not but how do you feel about true love?"

Brooke sees Christopher and they smile.

Sorcerer says "That's not possible." Chris and Brooke walk over to each other. "If I can't have her, no one will."

A crossbow appears in the sorcerer's hand. "Whoa." Piper says as freezes them.

Phoebe says "Anyone got a vanquish in their pocket?"

Prue says "Oh, let's not get rid of him just yet. I want him to watch this for a little bit." She uses her power and the crossbow flies out of his hand. "Okay, go ahead."

Piper unfreezes them and Christopher and Brooke kiss. The sorcerer starts to burn and disappears. Christopher and Brooke hug."

Brooke says "I don't know what to say."

Christopher says "How can we thank you?"

Prue says "You already have."

Phoebe says "Oh, Piper, I think I have a solution to the whole maid of honor thing."

Prue says "Oh, me too."

Piper says "What about our distinct lack of a high priestess?"

Phoebe says "Would you please just let me worry about that."

Underworld

Jared and Rosaline are running from cave to cave looking for Michael when a demon runs into them. "Any sign of them at all?" Jared asks a demon.

"No, My liege we have demons looking anywhere. We have found no sign of your son or Zeke." The demon says.

"Okay keep searching no one shall stop looking until he is safe and sound here at home." Jared says and the demon shimmers out. He turns to Rosaline and says "When Michael went missing, where were you exactly?"

"At home." Rosaline says. "When he saw me at Zeke's house earlier he seemed shaken up." Jared flames out with her.

Manor: Living room

Grams, Andy and Leo are standing there. Leo and Andy are dressed in suits.

Grams says "Girls, your high priestess is waiting, unfortunately the eclipse is not. Now let's move it." She uses her power and wedding music plays in the CD player. "That would be your cue, maid of honor."

Phoebe, who is all dressed up, walks down the stairs. she stands at the bottom of the stairs. Piper and Prue walk down wearing a light blue dresses and holding a bouquet. Leo smiles seeing Piper and Andy smiles seeing Prue. Piper and Prue stop at the bottom of the stairs.

Prue says "You look beautiful. I know it's not exactly how you wanted it."

Piper says "You look beautiful too and it's exactly what I wanted." She looks over at Leo and they smile. Prue, Piper and Phoebe walk into the living room. Piper stands in front of Leo Prue stands in front of Andy. They smile again. Grams does the high priestess thing with Andy and Prue.

All of a sudden Leo starts jerking. He yells, is surrounded by light and orbs out. "Grams, how can this happen? What did we do?" She starts to panic.

Grams says "Listen to me, darling, it's going to be okay. We will fix this."

Piper starts crying "We, we have to." Prue, Andy and Phoebe hold her arms. "This, this is all my fault." She kneels on the floor and so do Prue and Phoebe. "He didn't deserve to be... I don't, I don't think I can do this."

She cries harder and Andy, Prue and Phoebe comfort her.

A dark place

Three hooded men are standing in a circle with Cole in the middle.

Hooded Man #1 says "You do good work."

Hooded Man #2 says "To get close to the Halliwell's with no suspicion... splendid."

Hooded Man #3 says "And we were pleased that you informed us of the witch's nuptials."

Cole says "The pleasure was mine"

Hooded Man #2 says "And the pleasure was theirs when the information was shared."

Hooded Man #1 says "You get useful knowledge of the Charmed Ones, now you must gain their trust. Others have failed."

Cole says "Others weren't me."

Hooded Man #3 says "So, what is next?"

Cole says "The wedding was child's play, a perk if you will. I'm focusing my attentions on Michael and Phoebe, there my way in. You sent me up to find out how to destroy them, I'd say we're well on our way.

Demons place

Michael and Zeke are still sitting at the table and the demon flames back in "I'm back." He says.

Zeke turns to Michael and says "Why didn't that spell work? You said it like twice."

The demon grabs Michael and Zeke by the arms and says "Ah. A spell." He sits down in between them and then says "Look, I know you Michael, better than I wish I did."

Michael stands up "Look, I don't have time for games right now so cut the crap and tell me how to leave and get the heck out of here and why I cant cast any spells." He snaps

The demon stands up and looks at Michael and says "When your father said you didn't need him in your life, the father/son bond that you once shared has been broken and this bond is strong, very strong but unfortunately not as strong as the Charmed Ones."

"Could you please just take me home?" Michael says

"First you have to sign this." The demon says.

Michael looks at it and says "What is it?" he signs his name.

"A contract saying, if you are hurt or in anyway harmed by any demon other than the source, you shall be returned here and be under my control…" He puts the contract in his jacket pocket and grabbing Michael and Zeke "Permanently." He flames them out.

Underworld

The demon flames in and throws Michael and Zeke to the ground and throws a fireball at Michael to make it look like an attack. He flames out as Zeke runs after Michael and sees his self healing work but slowly "Help!" he says "Anybody!"

Two demons run in and see Michael and Zeke there. The two demons grab Michael and another shimmers in and grabs Zeke. The shimmer out.

Rosaline and Jared are standing there at a cave when the demons shimmer in. "My liege, we found him lying on the ground and we fund this one…" The guard pulls Zeke up to Jared "Yelling for help."

Michael is healed completely and says "Dad. I am so sorry I-I-I thought I could handle it but I was wrong and…"

"Shh. Shh. It's all right." Jared says hugging him and orange glow lights up around them reforming the bond. When that glow stops there are White orbs surrounding them and they disappear. Rosaline and Zeke orb out.

Manor

"Are you sure this spell will work I mean what if Mikey isn't lost then what happens?" Phoebe says.

"Well, it's our only choice." Prue says

"But what if he isn't lost and the spell doesn't work?" Piper says agreeing with Phoebe.

"Could we just cast the dang spell and see what happens?" Prue says.

"Okay." Piper says

"'Powers of the witches rise course unseen across the skies come to us who call you near come to us and settle here blood to blood we summon the blood to blood return to me.'"

Bright white lights surround the room and center in the middle and Michael and Jared become corporeal. Rosaline and Zeke orb in.

Oh boy Michael says in his head seeing the sisters there and Prue threw out her arm and sent them both flying backwards.

"Ow." Michael says "I'm ok."

"Well, I didn't expect that." Jared says flaming out.

"He's back." Rosaline says helping Michael up.
