Scene: Halliwell Manor. Paige has just summoned a spirit. Leo is there as well.
Paige: Wow. I never thought this would happen. (A shot of the circle reveals the voice is coming from the spirit of Prue.) So, we finally meet. (Prue steps out of the circle and becomes tangible.)
Prue: I guess so. (Paige sticks out a hand.)
Paige: I'm Paige.
Prue: Oh yeah, I already know. They let us watch you guys from up there. Good job on keeping up with Piper and Phoebe, Paige. (Paige stares at Prue in admiration.)
Leo: Paige?
Paige: Oh Leo, I forgot you were still here. (Prue walks over to Leo and hugs him.)
Prue: Hey stranger.
Leo: Hi, Prue.
Paige: So I don't mean to interrupt the reunion, but why did the book open to the spell 'To Summon a Spirit'?
Prue: Well, Grams moved the pages from the Astral Plane because our mom has an important message for the Charmed Ones. (Prue dissolves in thought.) Wow. That feels really weird saying that.
Paige: As you were saying?
Prue: Well- (Door slams. Piper and Phoebe are talking from the hallway.)
Piper: Leo?(Leo orbs out.) Paige? We're ho- (Piper and Phoebe walk into the room. Piper sees Prue and drops her purse.) Oh my god. Prue! (Piper walks over to Prue and hugs her. Piper breaks up the hug and turns to Paige, pissed off.) We are going to have a serious talk about this missy.
Phoebe: Oh, honey. What are you doing here?
Prue: Paige summoned me. And Piper, don't get mad at Paige. It's not her fault. Technically, Mom and Grams are the ones to blame.
Piper: Mom and Grams? What do they have to do with this?
Prue: Well, as I was just telling Paige, Grams moved the pages of the book to the spirit summoning spell. Mom had me sent to give you, Paige and Phoebe a message.
Piper: Well, what's the message?
Prue: We have been watching over the Earth and over the Underworld as well. Apparently, there are new demonic threats coming along that will require more strength than the Power of Three can give.
Piper: So what are we supposed to do about it? (Another voice begins to talk to Paige and Piper.)
Voice: Find your other sibling. (It's Patty.)
Piper: Mom?
Patty: Yes, Piper.
Piper: What nonsense are you talking, woman?
Patty: The story I am about to tell you is one that I haven't even told Prue yet. I was waiting until the four of you were all together again, which meant having Paige summon Prue.
Piper: Get on with it!
Patty: Well, you see, up in Heaven, I met up with a whitelighter. We had a date and eventually…you know. The Elders said it was impossible for a spirit to get pregnant, but it was also said that it was impossible for the Charmed Ones to be reconstituted. So I got pregnant again, but the whitelighter and I couldn't let the Elders know. So the whitelighter orbed the baby into the womb of another woman. The baby was still ours, DNA speaking, but it was kind of our spiritual way of putting it up for adoption.
Phoebe: So we have another sister?
Patty: No, you have a brother. (The girls are all shocked.)
Paige: A brother?
Piper: Mom, I am going to say the same thing I said when we found out about Paige. You cannot just barge in here after all these years and say 'Gosh, you have a brother!"
Patty: Actually, Prue, Piper, Phoebe, you have a half-brother. Paige, you have a brother. (Paige is more shocked than the other girls.)
Prue: You mean you and Sam again?
Patty: Yes. I was trying to keep it hidden from you girls. But does who his father is really matter? He is a sibling witch. One who can help Piper, Phoebe, and Paige defeat the evil.
Phoebe: How long ago was he born?
Patty: Let me think. He's about 15 now.
Phoebe: So he's about ten years younger than us…and still in school?
Patty: Yes. Now that I have told you girls, you must now get him into the mansion and get him by the book.
Piper: Mom! (Patty disappears. Piper turns to Prue.) Shouldn't you be fading away too?
Prue: Normally, yes. But however, I am allowed to stay down here for a little while and help you guys find our brother. (The girls gather around the Book of Shadows.)
Scene: A classroom in a public school. There is a test being taken. A teacher is walking around the room. The boy is one of his students. He walks by the boy's desk. The boy's paper is covered with various triquetras and pentacles.
Teacher: Madison, this is chemistry 101, not studio art.
Boy: Sorry, Mr. Hodge.
Mr. Hodge: Okay class, hand in your tests. (Students all pass their papers forward.) Today, we will begin our next topic.
Girl: Which is?
Mr. Hodge: The Salem Witch Trials. (The boy isn't paying too much attention.) One of the first women convicted and executed for being an accused witch was Melinda Warren. (The boy looks up. He is thinking to himself.)
Boy: That name sounds very familiar. (Mr. Hodge's words are blurry until he says-)
Mr. Hodge: The only living ancestors of hers live right here in San Francisco. One of them is local advice columnist, Phoebe Halliwell. (The boy thinks to himself again)
Boy: Phoebe Halliwell? (A girl behind him pokes him.)
Girl: Here. (She hands him a note and he unfolds it. The note reads "1329 Prescott Street, San Francisco, CA." The boy looks around for the person who started the note. He turns around.
Boy: Sarah? Where did this note come from?
Sarah: Beats me. I found the paper with an address under your desk and figured it was yours.
Mr. Hodge: Madison! Yeager! Maybe you would like to discuss today's lesson after school. In detention.
Boy: But, but, but- --
Mr. Hodge: No buts, Madison. Butts are for chain smokers.
Scene: Halliwell Manor. The girls, including Prue, are around the Book. Phoebe slams it shut.
Phoebe: Nothing! We've tried the lost witch spell, the Power of Three spell, and many others and still no brother!
Prue: Well, Pheebs, its 1:30. I doubt school is over yet for anyone.
Scene: Mr. Hodge's classroom. The boy raises his hand.
Boy: Mr. Hodge! I don't feel well; may I go to the nurse's office?
Mr. Hodge: Trying to skip detention later?
Boy: No, I feel like I'm going to vomit. (Mr. Hodge sighs.)
Mr. Hodge: Very well. (The boy walks out of the room and his locker. He grabs all of his stuff and sneaks out of the building.)
Boy: I can't believe I did that and I didn't get caught.
Time lapse. It's 3 O'clock. Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige are waiting around in the conservatory for their brother. Outside on the porch, the boy is cautiously walking up the steps and walking towards the door. He knocks, but it's unlocked. He opens it.
Boy: Hello? Is anybody here? (Paige, Piper, and Phoebe enter from the conservatory.)
Phoebe: Who are you?
Paige: Piper, freeze him. (Piper waves her hands.)
Phoebe: He didn't freeze.
Boy: I got a note that said for me to come here after school.
Phoebe: Paige, what made you come to Prue's funeral?
Paige: A newspaper that appeared from nowhere.
Boy: The note came from nowhere.
Piper: (To Paige and Phoebe.) Hm…maybe that's how the 'To Call a Lost Witch' spell worked.
Paige: Well, however it works, it worked. He's here.
Boy: Um…am I supposed to be here? I can leave, if that's what you want. (He turns to leave. Paige and Phoebe run after him and hook their arms into his.)
Paige: No, we actually needed to see you.
Boy: I don't understand why. I don't even know you guys. (Paige turns to him.)
Paige: No, it's okay. My name is Paige. (She points to Piper.) That's Piper, she owns a club. And this is…
Boy: Phoebe Halliwell. My teacher mentioned you today.
Phoebe: Why?
Boy: Mr. Hodge was talking about the Salem Witch Trials and mentioned someone named Melinda Warren. (Phoebe looks at Piper.) He said you are a descendant of hers.
Phoebe: Well, now you know our names…what's yours? (She reaches out to shake his hand.)
Boy: My name is Porter.
Piper: Wow, yet another P child.
Porter: Excuse me? (He shakes Phoebe's hand. The girls look up at the chandelier. No shaking and no blue light like before.)
Phoebe: Hm… the chandler…
Paige: It didn't shake…
Piper: That means…
Paige: He can't be the one.
Porter: I'm sorry I wasted your time. (Porter turns to leave. Prue walks in.)
Prue: Wait! (Porter turns around before he steps out the door.) Come here. (Porter approaches the girls.)
Porter: Yes?
Piper: (To Prue.) What are you trying at?
Prue: (To Piper.) You didn't introduce him to all of his sisters. (To Porter.) Hi, I'm Prue. (She stretches out her hand.)
Phoebe: (To Prue.) How do you suggest we explain the fact that you are dead?
Prue: (To Phoebe.) I'll wing it.
Porter: (Cautiously.) I'm Porter. (He shakes her hand. The chandelier glows, shakes and falls to the ground.)
Piper: Uh…Leo! (Leo orbs in, to Porter's surprise.)
Porter: What's going on here?
Piper: We'll explain later, and by the way, Leo, this is Porter. Porter this is Leo. (To Leo.) You know how the chandelier normally shakes when the Power of Three is made?
Leo: Yes?
Piper: It didn't shake when Porter was with Phoebe, Paige, and I. It shook when Porter was with Phoebe, Paige, me...and Prue! I thought a ghost couldn't have powers.
Leo: I'll check in with the Elders, but meanwhile, the Elders located the Queen of the Hive demons.
Prue: Where is she?
Leo: (Turns to Phoebe.) She's at the Bay Mirror.
Time lapse. The Bay Mirror parking lot. Paige orbs in with Piper, Phoebe, and Porter.
Porter: Okay, so when do you explain to me?
Piper: After you help us.
Porter: Okay, what do I have to do?
Paige: When we find the Queen, you have say a…um…little…spell with us.
Porter: Spell?
Phoebe: Well, it's more like a little poem.
Porter: Well, if you tell me now, I can remember it.
Paige: It goes 'Seductress of an insect kind, vanquish yourself, your body, and mind. Locked away by the Power of Four, there you'll stay forever more.'
Porter: Got it. (They enter the building.)
Piper: Leo said she was in office number 10.
Phoebe: Oh my god. That's Elise's office. (They burst into the room of the paper and run into Elise's office.) Elise! (Elise turns around in her chair. She's holding an athame.) Elise, what are you doing with that?
Elise: Took you long enough to show up. I've been waiting for you.
Phoebe: You're the Queen?
Elise: Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe. Quite the smart little witch, aren't we? (She throws the athame. Piper freezes the room.)
Porter: (To Paige.) How did she do that?
Paige: We'll explain later. Say the spell. (Paige pulls out the paper.)
Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Porter: Seductress of an insect kind, vanquish yourself, your body, and mind. Locked away by the Power of Four, there you'll stay forever more. (Elise screams and explodes.)
Porter: Whoa! Did I do that?
Phoebe: We did it.
Piper: We, you and your sisters.
Porter: Sisters? I've always been an only child.
Piper: Actually, Phoebe, Prue and I are your half sisters.
Paige: I'm not. I'm your full sister. Same mother and father.
Porter: So are you going to explain what's going on?
Piper: Back during the Salem Witch Trials, our ancestor, Melinda Warren, was executed for being a witch. She prophesied that one day in the future there would be three sisters that would have magic powers. One could move things with her mind, one could freeze time, and one could see the future. They would be known as the Charmed Ones, the most powerful good witches known to the magical world. That was me, Phoebe, and Prue.
Porter: Wait, witches?
Piper: Yes.
Porter: Why isn't Prue one anymore?
Phoebe: She died. She was killed by a demon named Shax.
Porter: So the girl I met who said her name was Prue. She was?
Paige: A spirit. I summoned her because she had to tell us about you.
Porter: So, my big full sister replaced her?
Paige: Yes.
Porter: So can you explain this power thing to me?
Phoebe: I can see the future.
Piper: I can freeze time.
Paige: I can move things with my mind. That was originally Prue's power.
Porter: So if you really have these powers then prove it.
Paige: Okay. (Paige puts out her hand.) Scissors! (The scissors orb to her.)
Porter: What happened? Why didn't it just fly across the room?
Paige: You and I are half-witch and the other half is called a whitelighter. That blue light is called an orb. It's how they teleport.
Piper: Prue could make things fly.
Porter: Okay, Piper, you next. Freeze time.
Piper: Paige, give Porter those scissors. (Paige hands the scissors over to Porter.) Porter, throw 'em in the air. (Porter throws them up. Piper waves her hands and they freeze and then unfreeze and fall.)
Porter: Okay. I believe you. But if I am one of you what power do I get?
Phoebe: Well, Prue is the oldest and could move things, Piper is second oldest and freezes time, I'm third oldest and see the future, and Paige is the second youngest and moves things. So you should be a freezer.
Porter: Really? I get a cool power? Okay Piper, how do you do it?
Piper: Just wave your hands. (She picks up the scissors and drops them. Porter waves his hands. Nothing.)
Porter: I guess I'm not one of you guys then.
Phoebe: But it did take Piper a while to get it down. Try again. (She picks them up and drops them. Porter waves his hands but they don't freeze. He bends down and picks them up.)
Porter: I guess I'm not one of you. (He sighs and a swirl of orbs comes out of his mouth. They settle on the scissor handles. The handles are coated in ice. The girls and Porter are all shocked.)
