A/n Okay I know some of you are confused with how Prue and Andy got married but I promise to go back and fix that ASAP. They were supposed to get married in Magic Hour before the elders took Leo away.
The Good, The Bad, and The Cursed
A ghost town
A car pulls up and Phoebe and Victor get out. He puts his arm around her and they start walking. "Alright, dad, spill it. What are we doing here?"
Victor says "What, can't a father spend a little quality time with his daughter? Especially after all the time we've been apart,"
Phoebe says "Alright, I take after you, okay. I've inherited all of your tricks, especially your fine art of fibbing."
"I don't know what you're talking about." He says then decides to change the topic "Tell me a little bit more about this Leo fellow anyway. How did he and Piper meet?" He asks.
Phoebe says "Oh, it was a couple of years ago at the house. He was our handyman."
"Piper's marrying a handyman?" Victor asks.
"Well, no, he isn't really a handyman. Wait, you do know..." Phoebe begins to answer
Victor interrupts and says "All I know is he's a nice enough guy who seems to know the big bad secret. Trust me, it's a lot better for a mortal to know he's marrying a witch before the wedding instead of after. Wish I had."
Phoebe says "Mortal. Right," she hears a noise coming from one of the buildings and looks around. Tumbleweed rolls past and a door slams shut.
"What?" Victor asks.
Phoebe says "It's nothing. I guess that's why they call it a ghost town, huh?"
"What do you mean? Did you actually see something?" Victor asks with a confused look.
Phoebe looks at him "What do you mean?" She asks.
Victor says "I mean, like a premonition, or whatever you call it. Alright, I confess. I brought you here hoping maybe you could give me a little bit of your help. I just didn't know how to ask."
"Magical help?" she says "Dad..."
Victor says "Well, this place seemed like such a good investment. Too good, actually. Made me think that all the stories were true."
Phoebe says "I'm biting. What stories?"
Victor says "Ghost stories. Something's been keeping people from investing and razing this place for over a hundred years."
Phoebe says "So, what, you want me to do a little supernatural inspection?"
Victor says "Well, yeah. I thought you could do a little Feng Shui on the place and maybe see if there's anything going on."
Phoebe says "Okay, first of all, I don't do Feng Shui, and secondly, I can't always get a premonition when I want to." She hears another noise. "Okay, now I definitely heard that."
"Heard what?" Victor asks.
She hears a glass bottle being smashed "Okay, you didn't hear that?"
Suddenly, a cowboy (Bo) gets thrown out of a saloon and Another cowboy walks out "You're a dead man, Bo."
Phoebe looks at her father and asks "Can you see them?"
"See who?" Victor asks.
Phoebe looks towards the two cowboys "Hey! Hey, what's going on?" she asks them.
The Cowboy says "Nobody crosses Mr. Sutter." The cowboy hits Bo in the face. He flies back right through Phoebe. He runs off and the cowboy shoots at him. They disappear.
Victor says "Phoebe? Phoebe, what's going on? Sweetheart, you're bleeding."
Phoebe says "I wouldn't buy this place, dad. Really, really bad Feng Shui." She touches her bleeding lip with a handkerchief. A crow squawks near by.
Opening Credits
Manor: Living room
Piper has set the table as Prue comes in "Uh, wait a minute. We have one too many place settings."
Piper looks at the table and counts "No we don't."
Prue says "Okay, uh, you, me, Leo, Phoebe, dad, Andy, Michael. That's seven, we have eight.
Piper says "So?"
"So who is the eighth for?" Prue asks.
Piper says "Mmm, maybe, um, mom." Prue looks at Piper and Piper says "What? It's my wedding. At least she could be here in spirit, if nothing else."
"Yes, she can be." Prue agrees Prue gives Piper a little hug as Leo orbs in.
Leo says "Wow, looks great. When do we eat?"
"Leo, can't you see we're having a sister moment?" Piper asks him
Leo says "Oh, sorry. Do you want me to go?"
Piper says "No, I want you to help. This is your rehearsal dinner too, you know."
Prue says "So, Leo, you nervous? I mean, only one more week before dum, dum, dum-dum."
Piper says "Thanks."
Leo says "Well, as long as no demons come bursting through that door, until them, I am fine."
Victor yells from outside the house "Prue! Piper!"
Victor and Phoebe walk through the front door Piper says to Leo "You had to jinx it,"
Prue says "Hey. Phoebe, what happened?"
Phoebe says "Oh, it's nothing, I'm fine. I just need an aspirin."
Piper says "Dad?!"
Victor says "I don't know what happened. One minute we're just walking around, the next thing I know she's bleeding."
"I got into a bar brawl." Phoebe says "Well, actually, I didn't. Two cowboys did. Bo and some other guy. I didn't catch his name, but I think he was the bad guy, 'cause he was wearing a black hat. Oh, and they were transparent."
Piper says "She must have hit her head."
Prue says "Uh-huh."
Victor says "Sweetheart, I never would have taken you there if I had any idea."
Phoebe says "It's fine, dad. Really, don't worry about it."
"Here, let me take care of that." Leo offers holding his hand out ready to heal.
Phoebe stops him and says "No, I'm alright." She then turns to her dad and says "Dad, why don't you go to the porch and get those town files. You know, maybe there's something in them that can help us."
Victor agrees and says "Alright."He goes outside.
Phoebe waits for victor to leave before saying "Dad doesn't know that Leo is a Whitelighter."
Prue and Leo at the same time say "What?"
Piper says "Well, I've been meaning to tell him, but considering mom had an affair with her Whitelighter, I didn't think he'd be really receptive to the idea."
Leo says "Piper, he's gonna kill me when he finds out."
Piper says "Oh, don't be ridiculous, you're already dead."
Andy comes down the stairs to investigate the commotion. "See, you should be careful saying stuff like that," he states in a joking manner. "What's going on?" he asks.
"Good question. Can we get back to what happened to Phoebe?" Prue prompts.
Before anyone could say anything, Victor comes back in carrying a box of files "Just a lot of investment stuff and background info. I don't see how it's gonna help you find out what happened. Hey, Andy."
"Hey, Mr. Bennett," Andy returns politely.
Phoebe says "Well, you're the one that called it a ghost town, and since Bo fell through me and I ended up with the same split lip that he had."
Prue says "Sounds like a ghost to me."
Leo says "It can't be. Ghosts don't bleed."
Piper pretends to cough "Ahem."
"I mean, so I've read in books, obviously not my area of expertise," Leo says. "You guys should call Mikey," He suggests.
Victor agrees with Leo "Mine, neither. What do you say we let the supernatural stuff to the pros and go grab a bite? You too, Andy. You don't have to work, do you?"
"Well…"
"He's got an hour or two to spare," Prue interrupts and Andy sends her glare.
Leo says "I don't know, Mr. Bennett."
"Hmm…" Prue says. Prue and Piper exchange a smile. Prue pats Leo on his back.
"Leo, you're going with Dad and Andy," Piper orders.
Victor says "Victor, please. It's time you both called me Victor, son. Come on."
"I'm fine," Phoebe promises "Go ahead." Victor, Andy, and Leo head outside.
"Great, now I'm dead." Piper says
Prue says "Alright, why don't we just focus on Phoebe and try and figure out what happened."
Phoebe says "I'll get the book."
Piper says "I'll get it and maybe a drink." She turns to Prue "You should call Mikey and let him know what's up,"
Phoebe says "Ow."
Michael's school
Michael is in the hallway going to his next class when he sees Rosaline hugging someone, a girl; Michael walks by "Jenny!" He says running and hugging her and almost knocking both him and her off the ground.
"Hello to you too Mikey," She says
Rosaline looks at Michael "Wow, Mikey this is actually the time where you like to stay in school," she says playfully
Speaking of that Michael says "Yeah, about that have you seen Zeke?" Michael asks and Jenny looks at him confused "I need him,"
"Yeah I'll go get him be right back," Rosaline says "Nice to see you again." She says to Jenny
"Boy, has it been a while?" Michael says to Jenny who nods in agreement
Michel's school: Lunchroom
Rosaline is walking to the table she sees Zeke at and she approaches him "Hey, Mikey needs you," she tells him.
"Where is he?" Zeke asks getting up holding an apple and a milk carton. Rosaline was about to say something but Zeke's phone started to vibrate "Could you get that please?" Zeke asks taking the tray to the lunch ladies.
"No Problem," Rosaline says. She opens it "Hello,"
"Rosaline, sweetie it's Prue is Michael with you by chance?" Prue asks from the other line.
"Yeah we actually were just talking why what's going on?" She asks as Zeke returns and puts it on speaker as they are going to Michael.
"It's a long story just tell Mikey to come home please?" Prue asks
"Sure," Zeke says eating his apple.
"Thanks," Prue says hanging up.
Hallway
Michael and Jenny are talking when Zeke and Rosaline run up to them "Mikey Prue needs you at home," Rosaline says.
"Ok then let's go," Michael says as they walk out of the school into the parking lot. "We usually walk home, Jenny." Michael explains.
"Mikey…" Rosaline says pointing at a black car.
"Son of a bitch," Michael says and goes to the car. "No one is inside it,"
"We should leave," Zeke says and he joins hands with Mikey who holds Rosaline's hand who is holding Jenny's hand and they all flame out.
Restaurant
Leo, Andy, and Victor are sitting at a table. A very nervous Leo is gulping down a glass of water while Andy is seemingly just trying to tough out the conversation which is one-sided by Victor "So, Phoebe says you're a handyman, Leo."
Leo says "Oh? Uh, actually, no. I'm a, I'm a doctor. I mean, not a doctor doctor, per se. More of, like, a counselor doctor. I guide people."
"You make good money?" Victor asks.
Leo says "Uh, honestly, no. It's more of a calling."
"Hmm… Andy, you make good money?" Victor asks.
"Decent…" Andy answers stiffly.
Victor says "Okay, men, I think it's time to come clean."
"You do?" Leo asks.
Victor says "Yeah. I need to talk to you about something man to man."
"Man to man?" Leo asks.
Andy narrows his eyes, uncertain if he wanted to have a 'man to man' talk without knowing the topic beforehand. He glances at Leo who appears even more nervous. "Go on," Andy allows hesitantly.
Victor says "Well, from one mortal to another. Andy, Leo, it's not easy being married to a witch."
Leo says "No."
Victor says "That's why my marriage to Piper's mother didn't work out. It wasn't because I didn't love her, it was because I wasn't prepared for what was to come."
"Believe me, after three years around her, I think I'm prepared," Andy assures him.
Leo says "Well, I think I'm prepared too, sir... I mean, Victor."
Victor says "Don't get me wrong. I want your marriage to succeed. That's why I'm warning you. But there are dangers out there worse than demons and warlocks. You do know about them, don't you?"
Leo says "Well, yeah, sure." Andy just nods as he doesn't feel it's worth actually answering.
Victor says "Well, the dangers I'm talking about, you're not even gonna see coming. The thing I'm talking about will just sneak up on you and destroy your marriage if you're not careful. Do you know what a Whitelighter is?"
Leo has a hesitant look on his face "Uh..."
Andy hides his smirk by taking a sip of his water.
Manor
Prue, Piper and Phoebe are in the living room. Piper's looking through the Book of Shadows. Phoebe's lying on the couch. She pulls up the bottom of her blouse to reveal a big bruise "Whoa," Phoebe exclaims at the sight of the bruise.
Prue comes in from the kitchen and says "What?"
Phoebe says to her "Look, I have a huge bruise." Prue touches it gently. "Ow."
"Did you call Mikey?" Piper asks trying to get back on topic
"Yeah he should be here…" Prue says but is distracted by yellow and orange flames "Now."
Michael flames in at that moment with Zeke, Rosaline and Jenny. Prue and Piper get up as fast as they could and they say "Jenny's back!" As they rush to hug her.
Phoebe gets up too and hugs Jenny.
Prue gets back on topic by saying "Oh. Alright, well, you must have gotten the bruise the same way that you got the split lip from Bo."
"Who?" Michael, Zeke and Rosaline ask.
Phoebe says "I don't get it. He gets beat up and I get his symptoms? How is that possible?"
Piper says "I wish I knew what I was looking for. I mean, if they're not ghosts, then what are they?"
Prue says "Well, whatever it is, it's got something to do with the history of that town. You said that they were dressed like cowboys, right?"
Phoebe says "Yeah, real cowboys right out of the Old West. Uh, the outlaw said something to Bo about a guy named Sutter. Look him up. Maybe he's a demon."
Jenny and Rosaline are looking at the files "Rosaline," Jenny whispers
"I see it too," Rosaline whispers back "Prue."
Prue looks at the file and says "Wait a minute."
Piper says "Did you find something?"
Prue says "It's more of what we're not finding. Alright, nothing is dated past April 25th, 1873. The maps, the land grants, death certificates. It's almost like time just stopped."
"What do you mean stopped? Like, everybody just died?" Piper asks.
Prue says "No, like stopped moving forward, literally. It wouldn't be the first time we've come across a time loop."
Phoebe says "Nah, we vanquished that demon."
"It's not a demon," Michael realizes.
Piper says "Wait a minute." Piper turns to a Time Loop page in the Book "Well, Mikey's right it's not a demon. Maybe it's a curse. 'Certain spiritual traditions believe that a great evil or great injustice can be cursed into a time loop until righted'."
Phoebe says "So that is probably why this is happening to me. Our job is to right the wrong."
Prue says "Yeah, well, we better do it before your symptoms get any worse." The doorbell rings. "I'll get that."
Prue gets up and walks to the door Michael follows to see who it is and Prue answers the door. Cole stands there holding a bunch of flowers. He looks unshaven. He walks into the foyer "Hey, Prue, long time. Is Phoebe home?"
Prue narrows her eyes at him and sends him flying. He flies across the room, landing on a small table. Michael jumps at all the sound and shimmers out for a moment as Phoebe, Jenny, Zeke, Jenny and Piper jump up from the couch. Michael shimmers back in.
Phoebe says "What the... Cole, what...?" Phoebe goes over to him.
Cole stands back up "Phoebe, hi. Oh, phew." He shows her the flowers. "These are for you." She pushes them away.
Prue glares at him and says "What the hell are you doing here? Do you have some kind of death wish?"
Cole looks at her and says "I told Phoebe last week that I wasn't giving up on her and I, I meant it."
Piper says "You talked to Phoebe? He talked to you?"
Cole says "Uh-huh."
"You said that he was alive. You never said that he was back." Prue says to Phoebe.
Phoebe says "It didn't matter because as I told him, I don't want anything to do with him anymore."
Prue says "Oh, well, in that case." She is about to swing her arm but Piper and Michael stop her
Piper says "Hey, hey, hey! I just set that table. We don't have time to buy a new one before dinner."
"I'm not gonna use my powers against you anyway. In fact, I'm never gonna use them again, ever. It keeps me from being evil." Cole promises.
Prue says "No, you will always be evil, you're a demon."
Cole says "Half-demon. My human half can suppress it if... Phoebe, you're hurt. What happened?"
Phoebe says "You know what, Cole? It's none of your business. So, why don't you do yourself a favor and just get..."
Phoebe has a premonition
Premonition
The cowboy shoots Bo. Bo throws a knife at the cowboy and he falls to the ground.
End of Premonition
Piper says "Phoebe?"
"Oh no," Michael says seeing Phoebe about to collapse and he catches her as she falls.
"Phoebe, what happened?" Prue asks.
Phoebe lifts her hand. It is covered in blood "I think I've been shot."
Prue, Jenny, Rosaline and Piper look at Cole, Michael and Zeke as Phoebe lays there in pain.
Commercial Break
Restaurant
Leo, Andy, and Victor are still there "The thing is they can orb into their charges' lives any time of the day or night..." He pauses as a waitress tops up his coffee. "Without us mortals even knowing about it. You can't trust the Whitelighter's, you two. They're sneaky little bastards."
Leo says "Really? 'Cause Piper says that they're really, really good guys. More of, like, guardian angels."
Victor says "That's the party line, Leo, but don't believe it. You can't trust 'em. They have this tendency to fall in love with their charges. Before you know it, they've stolen your wife. The girls' mother, Patty? She fell for her Whitelighter."
"I'd like to see this whitelighter try getting anywhere with Prue," Andy states with a not-so-subtle look in Leo's direction.
Leo gulps at the warning in Andy's voice until Andy chuckles, clearly showing he was just giving Leo a hard time.
"Careful, son. This is a serious matter," Victor insists.
Leo quickly returns to Victor's conversation before he gets suspicious. "I thought that happened after you two separated?"
Victor says "Oh, he was putting the moves on her long before we split up, believe me. Anyway, you know, we never had a chance to get back together because of him. And, um, you know, then she died. Look, my point is, if you wanna..."
Leo hears the sisters and Michael calling him "Uh-oh," He says
"You're joking…" Andy deadpans.
Victor looks between the two of them and says "What?"
Leo looks around and says "I have to go now."
Victor repeats "Go?"
Leo says "Yeah and I don't think you're gonna like the way I have to go, either." Leo orbs out. Andy, positive he didn't want to be stuck in the area with a fully informed Victor, grabs Leo's arm at the last minute and is orbed out. Victor sits there in shock.
Manor
Leo orbs in with Andy "What the hell are you doing here?" He asks upon seeing Cole
Prue says "Forget about him, Leo. Phoebe's been shot."
"Shot? How did that happen?" Leo asks.
Prue says "There's no time to explain. Can you heal her?"
Leo starts to heal her "Where's dad?" Piper asks.
Leo says "Seething probably."
"Remind me to never let you make us eat with Victor again," Andy agrees although his eyes were transfixed on the hurt Phoebe.
Leo continues to try and heal Phoebe but it doesn't work "What's the matter, Leo? Why isn't it working?" Cole asks.
Leo says "I don't know. Phoebe, you gotta tell me exactly how this happened."
Phoebe says "Um, I don't, I don't really know. I had a-a premonition and I felt Bo get shot and then I came out of it."
"Leo, can you heal her?" Prue asks.
Leo says "No, because Phoebe wasn't the one that was shot. Bo was."
"She needs to go to the hospital then," Andy states.
"And tell them what, Andy?" Prue returns.
"I don't know but I've seen people die from bullets. She needs medical attention," Andy insists.
Piper says "Wait, Leo, what are you talking about? She's bleeding. How can she not be the one shot?"
Leo says "I know, but it's more like a psychic echo. Phoebe is linked to Bo somehow. Whatever he feels, whatever happens to him happens to her."
Cole says "Which means Bo must be magical too. The only way they can be linked is through their magic."
Leo says "I agree."
Cole says "We have to find Bo. Heal him. It's the only way."
Piper says "Well, he's been cursed into a time loop along with the rest of the town. And we don't know how to get there, let alone where there is."
Andy opens his mouth to insist on going to the hospital but this time Piper glares at him and he caves. "I'll go get some ice and towels. Slow the bleeding down," he offers before stomping off to the kitchen.
Michael and Zeke come down the stairs "Ok Rosaline and Jenny went to see if Mr. Sanchez knows anything about this…" Michael says looking around "Am I interrupting something?"
Cole continues "Well, it's gotta be a parallel plane existing in the same physical space as the town."
Prue says "You know, I don't think that we need any demonic input right now."
Cole says "If I can help save Phoebe's life, you sure as hell do."
Leo says "We're listening."
Cole begins to explain "Look, I move through different planes all the time. It's how I've been hiding from Michael's father and the Source. Shouldn't be any problem to shimmer into Bo's plane and bring him back here so you can heal him."
Piper says "You said you don't use your powers anymore."
Cole says "Shimmering isn't a lethal power."
Phoebe says "Uh, why don't you just take Leo with you and you can heal Bo there?"
Leo says "I can't. I'm not allowed to work with a demon."
Michael and Prue say "I'll go," At the same time.
Piper says "Prue."
Prue says "I'm not gonna leave this up to him."
Piper says "Well, okay, what if something goes wrong and you get stuck in the time loop and you don't get back before midnight? Not to mention, you might get into a fight and the baby… and then Andy would kill us…"
"Piper, I my telepathic connection will be open at all times to keep you guys updated. And Prue won't be fighting," Michael explains
Prue says "It's not the time loop I'm worried about. Look, why don't you and Leo go to the town, see if you can find anything there to help break the curse. Andy can stay with Phoebe at least until Dad shows up and he has to leave for work." She looks at Phoebe and "You? You hang in there, okay?" She looks at Michael "and you two will come with us,"
Phoebe says "Play nice, you two."
Cole holds his hand up and says "Gotta hold my hand."
Prue says "This already sucks. Andy, I'm leaving!"
Prue holds his hand and they shimmer out. "We'll be back soon," Michael promises grabbing hands with Zeke and shimmers out after Cole and Prue.
Andy stomps back in the room. "She's leaving where?" he demands. "She didn't go with the demon, did she?" he asks upon realizing Cole was nowhere to be seen.
Victor storms in seconds later "Leo! You lying little piece of…"
Piper quickly stands in front of Leo "Okay, dad, not now. Stay with Phoebe. We'll be back. Andy, just relax. She's fine."
Leo holds Piper and they orb out "What…" Victor says.
Phoebe says "Well, don't get mad at me, I've been shot."
Victor looks at Andy who grumbles something unintelligible under his breath as he moves to attempt to make Phoebe a little more comfortable.
Ghost town in 1873
Cole and Prue shimmer in seconds before Michael and Zeke shimmer in.
Prue says "Oh, wow, it worked."
"It did," Zeke agrees looking around
Cole says "You doubted me?"
Prue says "Yeah, well, for all I know you were gonna take me... Whoa! Aah!" They hear a gunshot and Cole pins Prue against a wall of a building. And Michael ducks with hands above his head "Okay."
Cole says "Welcome to the Wild, Wild West."
Prue says "Alright, just-just so we're clear, I'm in charge here. You're just my ride. And they are my body guards."
Cole says "Fine with me. What's your plan?"
Prue says "Find Bo, lay low."
Cole says "That's a plan?"
Prue says "Yeah. You got a better one?"
Cole looks her up and down and then doing the same with Michael and Zeke "Maybe, but first I think we better find something a little less conspicuous to wear."
Prue pushes him away "Fine. Agreed. Any ideas?"
A couple of cowboys carry a dead cowboy out of a building "Yeah. Nothing you're gonna like though."
After They change Prue, Michael, Zeke and Cole walk into a saloon wearing cowboy clothes "Still think you should have worn that pretty, little red dress drying on the line."
Prue says "Yeah, it was a prostitute's dress. Not exactly the kind of impression I wanted to make and it probably wouldn't have fit anyway. At least I'm not wearing some dead guy's clothes."
Cole says "Hey, I thought you'd be pleased. At least I'm playing the role of a good guy."
Prue says "Yeah, right. Alright, just fact-finding. No getting involved."
They walk up to the bar "What'll it be?" The bartender asks.
Prue quickly says "Hi. Moonshine."
"A what?" The bartender asks
Cole says "She means Whiskey. Make it two. Leave the bottle." He says to Prue "You watch too many old movies."
Prue says "And you'd be confusing me with Phoebe."
Cole says "Not a chance."
"Passing through?" the bartender asks.
Cole says "Maybe."
The Bartender says "Maybe if you're not, you ought to consider it. Things are getting pretty dangerous around here. Friendly advice. Wet your whistle, get back on your horses, and move on as fast as you can."
"Hi. What am I? A potted plant?" She asks sarcastically "Talk to me. What's so dangerous?" She asks
The Bartender says "It's nothing to concern your pretty little head about."
Prue quickly says "Okay, now that's condescending."
"Lay low, remember?" Cole reminds her.
"Fine," Prue argues.
Cole looks at the bartender "You were saying?"
The Bartender begins to explain "There's some trouble between a powerful man in town..."
"Sutter?" Prue interrupts him
The Bartender looks at her and asks "How do you know about Sutter?"
"This pretty little head knows a lot. So, why don't you talk to both of us now? Tell us what's going on." Prue says.
The Bartender says "One of Sutter's men just got killed and now there's gonna be hell to pay."
Suddenly three cowboys walk in the saloon. Everyone, including Michael and Zeke, Prue ad Cole, turns to look and see Sutter walk in behind them. Sutter looks around and says "Where is he? Just so you know, I've already taken the liberty to print up the evening edition." Sutter holds up a newspaper with the headline "Half-breed to Die at Sundown". "Just so you know how serious this is. All the news that's fit to print." He turns to Isabel, Bo's sister. "You know where your little brother's hiding, now don't you?"
Isabel smirks and says "Even if I did, I'd never tell you. I'm not afraid of you, Mr. Sutter."
Me either. Michael says in his mind.
Sutter says "Well, if you were smart, you'd be. Of course your kind are not, are they?"
Prue starts to go over but Cole stops her "Hold it. Plan is not to get involved."
Our plan maybe. Prue thinks Mikey…
She loses her train of thought as Sutter turns to Cal "I haven't seen Bo, Mr. Sutter, I swear. Not since he took off." Cal says.
Sutter says to Cal "You know, you lie to me again, Cal, and I'll do worse than this." He holds up a whip. A cowboy stabs Cal's hand with a knife.
Prue then rushes over and pushes the cowboy away. She takes off her scarf and wraps it around Cal's hand. "What the hell is wrong with you people?" She asks as Michael catches up to her.
"Seriously," Michael agrees with Prue.
Sutter surprised at seeing the new people says "Well, well, well. What do we got here?"
"Uh, Prue?" Cole tries to get her attention.
"Mikey?" Zeke says getting his attention.
Sutter says "Lady, I don't know who you are or where you come from but you obviously don't have the slightest idea who you're dealing with."
Prue looks at him "Oh, please, what a cliché." She says
The cowboy stands up "I usually don't hit women, but seeing your dressed like a man, I imagine I can make an exception." Prue blocks his punch and smashes a whiskey bottle over his head. Michael kicks him to the ground as he tries to get back up. Prue gets out her gun and shoots at the cowboy's rifle, making it fly out of his hand. Cole pulls out a rifle and aims it at the men.
"Don't." Cole says.
Sutter says "No, we'll deal with these guys later, after we take out Bo."
Cowboy looks at Cole and says "This ain't over. You and me, we got a score to settle."
Sutter says "One of you know where he's at. And if you don't tell me, I'm gonna burn this town to the ground looking for him." They leave.
Cole says "So much for laying low."
Prue says "Yeah."
Commercial Break
Saloon
Prue, Michael, Zeke, Cole and Isabel are walking outside and Isabel is talking "Sutter's in tight with the railroads. He came here a couple of months ago promising to bring the tracks through and make it more than just an old mining town."
"In exchange for what?" Prue asks.
Isabel says "A piece of everything. The mines, the bank, the newspaper. When folks started resisting, his boys took over. At first everybody stood up to them, but after they killed the sheriff. Cowards."
"Why's Sutter after your brother?" Cole asks.
Isabel says "Because Bo wouldn't back down. He kept on fighting, trying to get everybody to take back the town."
Cole says "Sounds like a brave man."
Isabel says "He is. Too bad the others aren't."
Prue says "Isabel, we know that Bo is injured. We know that he's been shot. We can help you, but you have to trust us."
Isabel says "I do. Bo said you'd come."
"How's that again?" Cole asks.
Isabel says "Bo, he saw it in one of his dreams. He said that four strangers would come, so, um, I knew."
"Alright, so wait a second. Bo has dreams about the future?" Prue asks.
Isabel says "Yeah. He has a gift. He inherited it from our father, who was a great medicine man. His name was Soaring Crow."
"Was?" Prue repeats.
Isabel says "He died when we were young. When we moved here, my mother wouldn't allow Bo to talk about his gift. She knew that magic was considered evil in the white man's world."
Prue says "Yeah, I know what it's like to have a gift that you have to keep a secret."
Cole says "And live in a place where you have to hide half of who you are."
"Yeah I know what it's like too," Michael agrees
Isabel says "Come. I'll take you to Bo. Come."
They walk over to three horses "Where'd you get the horses?" Cole asks
Isabel repeats her words from before "I told you. I was expecting you."
Cole says "You know, I still say we eliminate the threat first, kill Sutter. Probably break the curse anyway."
They get on the horses. "Yeah, well, we don't know that, which is why we need to get to Bo first. You know, Cole, if you want to try your hand at being good, your first instinct shouldn't be to kill." Prue says.
They ride off. Cal gets on his horse and follows. Michael and Zeke just look at each other "I guess I am shimmering then huh?" Michael says. He looks around and then joins hands with Zeke and shimmers them out.
Ghost town in the present
Piper and Leo are there looking around "I don't know what we're supposed to be looking for. Yuck." Piper says.
Leo says "Well, we gotta keep looking, find something that might help us break the curse."
"Like what?" Piper asks. "There's nothing here but spiders, lizards, and that stupid old crow."
"Oh, come on, let's keep looking. After all, we got a rehearsal dinner to get back to." Leo says.
Piper says "There's not gonna be a rehearsal dinner or a wedding if we don't find a way to save Phoebe."
The crow lands on the saloon "What is it?"
Piper says "Phoebe said Bo got into a fight in a bar, right? So that would be the saloon."
"Makes sense. It's a western." Leo says.
Piper says "So it's always the saloon."
They walk into the saloon and Piper goes behind the bar while Leo looks at a bottle "Hankins Nerve Tonic, calms raw nerves. Think I should bring a bottle back for your dad?" Leo jokes.
Piper says "I don't think that'll do it. There's nothing, there's nothing here. Great brainstorm, huh?"
Leo says "Actually, I think it was. Look."
Piper picks up an old newspaper "'Half-breed to die at sundown'"?
"On that same date, 1873. Read who's gonna die." Leo says.
Piper says "Bo Light Feather."
Leo says "We've got to find a way to warn Prue, Mikey, Zeke and Cole that they don't have until midnight."
Piper says "Which means neither does Phoebe."
Manor
Phoebe is lying on the couch when Victor brings her a glass of water. "Here you go. Drink up." She drinks the water "What is it?" He asks
Phoebe says "It's nothing."
Victor says "Hey, I didn't come back into your lives just to be kept in the dark. I'm your dad, you can tell me anything."
She starts to shake "I'm dying."
Victor says "Oh, come on."
Phoebe says "No, I can feel what's happening to me. It's like a... something that you can feel deep inside of you. I-I can't explain it."
Victor says "You're sisters are not gonna let that happen, I am not gonna let that happen."
Behind Victor, Orbs begin to materialize, Phoebe watches the orbs as Rosaline, Jenny and Mr. Sanchez become corporeal.
"Where's Mikey?" Jenny asks after looking around.
As she says that Leo and Piper orb in "How is she?"
"She's gonna be fine." Victor says.
Piper says "Okay, we have to hurry. We found out Bo dies at sundown, except I don't think Prue knows that." She looks around as if expecting an outburst. "Where's Andy?" she questions.
"I made him go to work. His silent worry over Prue was freakin' me out," Phoebe explains.
"Did you try contacting Michael?" Rosaline interrupts.
"I tried but I don't think his telepathy works between planes," Piper says.
Leo says "But we have an idea how to let them know. Phoebe, if you're getting visions from Bo, maybe he can get one from you."
Phoebe says "I don't understand."
Piper says "Phoebe, if you can will yourself to get a premonition about Bo's death, he might be able to see it too, and then he can tell Prue, Mikey, Zeke and Cole that they don't have as much time as they think they do."
Victor looks at Phoebe and says "But I thought you said you couldn't always get premonitions when you wanted."
"I can't." Phoebe says.
"You can try." Piper says handing Phoebe the newspaper and Phoebe holds it against herself.
Mr. Sanchez disappears in an ice like form and is gone.
1873
Cole and Prue are following Isabel to Bo's hideout Prue is talking to Michael telepathically.
"Any idea what we should say to him?" Cole asks turning to Prue who is lost in thought "Prue,"
Prue says "We're not gonna say anything. I'll do the talking."
Cole says "You know, it wouldn't kill you to be nice to me."
Prue says "Really. It's funny you should say that, considering how many times you actually tried to kill me."
"And me," Michael says as he shimmers in and Prue looks at him "What? There were'nt enough horses and I wasn't gonna walk." Michael says calmly as she just gives him a glare for using magic.
"That's all in the past, Prue." Cole says getting back on topic.
Prue says "Right. After all this is done, you need to leave us alone. Otherwise, we'll have to do to you what we should have done in the first place, which is vanquish you."
Cole says "Then that's what you're gonna have to do because it's the only way you're gonna keep me away from Phoebe."
Cole turns to Isabel and they begin to walk inside and Michael says "Prue, go easy on Cole please?"
"Why?" Prue asks.
"Because he is here to help us," Michael says.
"But I don't like him," Prue tells him trying not to raise her voice too much.
"I know but he is actually doing something that other demons haven't," Michael says.
"And whats that?" Prue asks hands on her hips.
"He's trying," Michael says "Just think of it kind of like my mom and dad's relationship,"
Isabel turns to Prue and Michael "Are you guys ready to go in? Uh, something wrong?"
Prue says "No, nothing that I can't handle." Thank you. I needed the advice. She says telepathically.
They walk into the small building that looks like an old church. Bo is lying in the corner and he is holding a cloth against his wound. Isabel walks up to him and says to Prue "He's very weak. I tried to pull the bullet out but it's in too deep. Bo. Bo. How are you doing?"
Bo looks at the four guests and then turns to Isabel "What's the matter with you? Who the hell are they?"
Isabel says "It's okay. They've come to help."
Prue says "Just like in your vision, remember?"
Bo says "I don't know what you're talking about."
I Don't have time for this. Michael thinks "You know exactly what we're talking about."
Isabel says "Bo, I told them."
Bo says "Too much apparently. We don't need your help. Just leave now."
Prue says "Bo, my sister gets visions too, and she had one of you getting shot, alright? We're here to help you."
"And help her." Cole adds.
Bo pulls out a knife "It's a trick. Sutter sent you. I know he did."
Isabel looks at Bo and says "No, they stood up to Sutter. You should have seen it."
"You sound very happy about that," Zeke says jokingly.
"Just get out of here!" Bo yells.
Cole says "We're not going anywhere."
Bo looks at Cole "I know that look. Sutter's got it too. You're evil. I can sense it."
Prue says "Alright, then just look at me." Bo looks at her. "You can't say the same thing about me, can you?" Prue asks him. "Bo, this isn't just about you, alright? My sister will die too. This whole town will if you don't let us help you."
Isabel says "They think that something Sutter is going to do will trigger a curse. The kind that father used to speak about."
Prue says "If we show you that we have gifts too, will you trust us then?" she turns to Cole and Michael "Show him."
Cole looks confused "Show him what?"
Prue says "You're gift. Show him your gift."
"My gift?" Cole asks still confused.
"Like this," Michael says and flames out
"Oh," Cole says shimmering out and back in beside Prue.
"Mikey?" Prue looks around.
Michael flames back in beside Zeke "
Sutter's Hideout
He breaks a bottle with his whip as Three cowboys walk in "This better be good."
Cowboy says "We couldn't find him, boss."
Sutter says "Now you listen to me and you listen real good. Bo's giving the townsfolk ideas and I don't want 'em getting ideas."
The second Cowboy says "No one knows where he's at and if they do, they ain't talking."
Sutter says "Well, you make 'em talk. This town is mine and it's gonna stay mine. When that railroad comes through, and mark my words it will, I'm selling this land, and that land's gonna be worth more than any of you three are capable of imagining." Cal walks in "You better have something useful to tell me, Cal."
Cal says "I know where Bo is hiding."
Sutter says "Finally. Someone knows what's good for him."
Church
Prue takes off her gloves "Alright, the first thing that we need to do is to get that bullet out of you." She kneels down beside him. "Uh, this is gonna hurt." She takes the cloth off of his wound. She puts her hand over his wound and the bullet comes out. Bo and Phoebe yell in pain. They receive a premonition
Premonition
Sutter whipping Bo, Isabel is being restrained. Sutter then shoots Bo.
End of premonition
Bo looks at them and says "I believe you."
Commercial Break
Manor: Living room
Phoebe is crying hysterically as Piper is trying to calm her down "It's okay, you're okay. Take a deep breath."
Phoebe says "I saw what they're gonna do to Bo. It was horrible!"
"Do you think he saw it too?" Leo asks.
Phoebe says "I know he did. I felt him. Nobody did anything. They didn't help him. Nobody did anything."
Victor says "So what do we do now?"
Leo says "There's nothing else we can do but wait. It's up to Prue, Mikey, Zeke and Cole."
Victor says "And you call yourself their guardian angel? What the hell good is a Whitelighter if all you can do is stand there and watch my daughter die?"
"Dad, please." Phoebe begs.
Piper looks at Victor and says "You're not helping."
"And he is? Why don't you do something? Isn't that your job?" Victor says freaking out.
Leo says "I am doing something, I am trusting your other daughter Prue and her cousin Michael. You know, I know that you feel helpless. We all do. But Prue is not gonna let Phoebe die and neither is Cole and neither will Mikey.
Victor says "Oh, so now I'm supposed to trust a demon?"
Leo says "You know, as much as I hate to say this, Cole loves Phoebe. He took a huge risk to come here and try and prove himself to her and he will do whatever it takes to save her life."
Phoebe says "He's right."
"How can you be so sure?" Victor says
Phoebe says "Because he loves me as much as I love him."
Church
Sutter and his men are riding up to it
Inside the church Prue does something to her gun "You learn fast." Isabel says.
Prue says "Thanks. I have a few gifts too."
Cole looks out the window "Sutter's men just showed up. We better get Bo out of here."
"What?" Isabel says "How did they find us?" She asks.
Cole says "We must have been followed. I'll shimmer him back to Leo, then Mikey will follow with you three."
Prue says "No."
Cole says "What do you mean, no? He dies, Phoebe dies."
Prue says "Taking Bo out of here will not break the time loop."
Cole says "It'll save Phoebe."
Prue says "Yeah, well, there's more than just Phoebe's life on the line here, Cole. We have to break the curse by sundown, otherwise this entire town is doomed to repeat the same day over and over again."
Cole says "Are you seriously telling me you're willing to sacrifice your sister's life for a town full of cowboys?"
Prue says "What I'm saying to you is that there's a great good at stake here, one that I can't just walk away from and one that you shouldn't walk away from if you truly expect to be good."
A Man yells from outside the church "We know you're in there, Bo. Come out with your hands up and nobody gets hurt. What's it gonna be, Bo?"
Cole says "Alright, how do we break the curse?"
Prue says "I don't know, but I do know that it hinges on keeping Bo alive."
Bo says "No, it doesn't. The curse isn't about me or about Sutter. It's about them. The townspeople who stood there and watched me die. The only way is for me to give myself up."
Isabel says "No."
Bo says "It's okay, Isabel. Have faith."
Cole says "And they'll kill you."
Bo says "Maybe. This curse came from my father's people. I understand that now. It's meant to heal, to teach the townspeople to act without shame. I have to give them that chance."
Prue says "Helping them to save you saves themselves." Bo opens the door and white doves fly out. He raises his hands.
Sutter's men are riding their horses through the town with Bo being dragged behind. They stop and a man takes Bo to Sutter "I want you all to see what happens when people cross me."
Sutter pushes Bo on the ground. Cole, Prue and Isabel arrive. Michael shimmers in with Zeke nearby.
"Ok there has to be something in this in moms old pocket spell book about time loops" Michael says as he scans the pages.
Michael and Zeke watch unaware of the person standing behind them. The person touches Zeke's shoulder and he grabs the hand and flips the person over onto the ground.
"Whoa," The guy yells as his hat flies off and reveals Mr. Sanchez.
"What are you doing?" Michael asks "Oh my Cole," Michael says running after him and Zeke follows.
Isabel's yell is heard where Michael and Zeke are "No! No!"
Prue says "Don't! He knows what he's doing."
Bo stands back up and Sutter starts to whip him and Phoebe feels it too.
Sutter says "What's the matter, boy? You too stupid to scream? I want you to beg for mercy." Sutter continues to whip Bo.
Prue says to the townspeople "What are you people doing? Look at him. He has the courage to fight Sutter for all of you. You can just stand there and watch him die. You have to do something! You can take him down!"
Cole says "Sutter can't take all of you out. You need to do what's right!"
Prue says "You cannot just stand by and let this happen. Stand up to him! Don't be scared."
Sutter says "Nobody crosses me."
Sutter gets out his gun and points it at Bo. The bartender shoots Sutter's gun out of his hand. "I think you just oughta leave Bo alone, Sutter." The bartender says.
Sutter says "You just signed your own death certificate."
Cal points his gun at Sutter "If you wanna kill Bo, you're gonna have to kill me too."
The townspeople all point their guns at Sutter. Isabel runs over to Bo and Isabel runs to Bo "Are you okay?" Sutter grabs Isabel by the hair "Aah!"
Sutter says "Anybody comes after me and she's dead."
Cole says to Prue "Now can we do something?"
Prue says "Oh, yeah." Sutter lets go of Isabel, jumps on his horse and rides off. Everyone chases him. Prue gets on a horse and follows him. She shoots at him and he falls off the horse. He tries to run away but Prue shoots him in the chest. She gets off the horse and waves her arm at Sutter and he flies into the sheriff's office. Bo and Isabel catch up to Prue. "I don't think Sutter's gonna be a problem anymore."
Bo says "What about the curse?"
Prue says "It's a beautiful sunset isn't it? I don't think there's been one quite like it in 128 years."
They hear a gunshot
Saloon
Cole, Mikey, Zeke and the cowboy are there. Cole goes to shoot at the cowboy but is out of bullets.
Cowboy says "Looks like you're outta bullets. I'm gonna enjoy this. See you in hell."
Cole says "Been there, done that."
The cowboy pulls out his gun and Cole throws an Energy ball at him just as Prue walks in. Cole laughs at the cowboy. He turns around and sees Prue standing there.
Prue says "Like I said, once a demon always a demon."
Prue walks back out. Cole throws his hat on the ground.
Manor: Living room
Piper, Phoebe, Leo and Victor are waiting for Prue, Michael, Zeke and Cole.
Victor says "So where are they?"
Leo says "I don't know, unless they didn't make it out."
Piper says "Don't even say it, don't even think it."
Cole and Prue shimmer in. Cole has his arm around her. She quickly pushes it away from her. "Eew!"
Piper says "Finally."
Victor says "What took you so long? We've been worried sick."
Cole says "Sorry, we had a few, uh, loose ends to tie up."
Prue says to Phoebe "Are you okay?"
Phoebe says "I'm great. Thank you. Both of you."
Leo says "And the time loop?"
Prue says "Broken. They will never have to live through that horror again."
Victor says "So then, um, where are they? Michael and Zeke I mean."
Prue says "I don't know. I think they went to get Andy, I guess.
Leo says "You don't think about it too much, Victor. It'd just give you a headache."
Piper says "Okay, um, anybody up to a rehearsal dinner?"
Phoebe says "Absolutely. I'm starving."
Everyone heads for the dining room "Well, I guess I should be going." Cole says.
Prue says "Yeah, that would probably be a good idea."
Phoebe walks over to Cole "You're not going anywhere."
Cole says "Phoebe, I don't want to cause any trouble."
Phoebe kisses him. Everyone looks away "You're staying and that's that." Phoebe says.
Piper says "Alright then, shall we?"
Cole says "Yeah."
Andy suddenly appears in a flash of red. At first he looks confused but quickly realizes what happened. "I hope you guys weren't planning on eating without me," he jokes.
Prue grabs his hand and pulls him toward the door, acutely aware of her father's surprised look. "Baby didn't want Daddy to miss dinner," she explains with a grin.
"Baby? I'm gonna be a grandpa?" Victor demands.
"Yeah… I guess Piper wasn't the only one to leave out a little detail," Prue admits, realizing for the first time that she actually hadn't told Victor.
They go into the dining room and everyone follows. Victor stands there for a moment in surprise but smiles and follows. A crow lands on the window sill outside.
Rosaline's house
Michael, Zeke and Mr. Sanchez walk into the basement where Jenny and Rosaline are. "What's going on?" Jenny says.
"Zeke thinks that he can see who the car belongs too," Michael explains.
Zeke types a few things and Jenny watches him "Got it," Zeke says walking over to Michael, Rosaline and Mr. Sanchez. He grabs the paper from the printer "Look familiar?"
"What the hell?" Michael says as Jenny looks at the picture.
"Who's that?" Jenny asks curiously.
"Sarah Fredrickson," Rosaline answers.
"Look there's writing on the wall there," Zeke says looking at the wall on the photo "Though I cant make out what it says,"
"Lemme see it," Michael says he looks at the compter and does something.
"what are you doing?" Mr. Sanchez asks him.
Michael zooms in on the text on the wall "te tengo" he reads. "Ok, now I'm getting angry," He says in a mono tone.
"What? What's Te tengo stand for?" Jenny asks.
"There is something bigger than we think going on or is about to happen Te tengo means Gottcha" Michael explains.
