"Glenn, we would be honored if you stayed." Piper husky said as she walked up to Glenn with Phoebe by her side.
"Thank you." Glenn nodded with tears in his eyes.
"Glenn …" Jessica began. She placed a hand on her husband's right arm.
Glenn jerked his arm away. His wife's touch felt like fire. "Go home, Jessica, you aren't welcomed here any longer." He hissed.
Jessica blinked. "I'll leave the light on for you."
"No need." Glenn said. He pulled the keys to the jeep out of his pocket.
"How are you going to get home?" Jessica took the keys hesitating.
"That's no concern of yours." Glenn frowned.
"I'm your wife, Glenn, of course it's a concern of mine." Jessica said feeling the tears prick at the back of her eyes.
"I'll bring him home." Chris said stopping before he passed bye. He wrapped his arms across his chest.
"Thank you, Chris." Glenn nodded. He knew that he would be orbing that night. "Go home Jessica." He turned away from his wife.
"Good bye Glenn, I love you." Jessica said.
Instead of answer, Glenn walked away towards Paige's father.
Piper, Phoebe and Chris watched as Jessica left the manor with her head held stiffly up and her hands slightly shaking.

After the last mourner finally left; the extended Halliwell family all trooped up to the attic. Piper with Wyatt in her arms led the way; with Phoebe behind her, Sam just ahead of Victor and Chris just ahead of Glenn, who finished the silent line.
After putting Wyatt in his play pen, Piper helped Phoebe set the crystals and the candles, the two remaining Halliwell sisters walked over to the Book of Shadows and saw the page all ready opened to "the séance" spell.
Holding hands Piper and Phoebe recited:
"Hear these words,
Hear my cry,
Spirit from the other side.
Come to me, I summon thee
Cross now the great divide
And we don't mean you Grams!"
Millions of twinkling lights appeared. Every breath was held in expectation. The mortals of the room didn't blink at the lights, they wouldn't dare, and they wanted to see her the moment she appeared.
The lights finally formed into a person, a woman, in all her glory. But not the woman they wanted to see at this time.
"Mom." Piper and Phoebe gently cried out allowing the tears to fall down their checks.
At the sight of Patty Halliwell, the two remaining Halliwell sisters knew that the call for a lost one wouldn't work to call forth Paige.
