Paige was slowly adjusting to her whitelighter duties but she found it hard to concentrate knowing how much of her sisters lives she was missing out on. Walking into the police station Paige was in search of her next charge, instead she bumped into a tall well built man, and caused him to spill coffee all over himself. Smirking to himself he simply said, 'I'll see you in the cafeteria in ten minutes, you owe me a coffee.' Paige attempted to look irritated by his over-confident remark but instead she walked forcefully towards the café, smiling to herself as she looked forward to showing the guy she was no pushover!
As he paced towards the red headed woman Henry had butterflies, not that he'd ever let on. Coming out with the usual arrogant comment to originally get her attention he had been surprised by her reaction, usually women went all girly and flirty when he pulled that one, she was just sulking! He sat down opposite pulling the plastic chair round so he was sat on it backwards. 'So what brought you here to spill my coffee? Heard about the famous Henry Mitchell and couldn't resist?' he smirked. 'No actually I'm to meet someone, I'm a social worker' she said, 'so actually I have to go, your coffee's on the table.' As she stood up to leave Henry panicked a little, there was something different about her, 'Not even going to tell me your name?' He called out as she walked down the corridor. 'Drink your coffee' she replied and as he lifted his coffee to his mouth, kicking himself for screwing it up, he chuckled as he saw a cell phone number scrawled across the polystyrene.
Prue fell straight back into her role as eldest sister, planning Zankou's vanquish in painstaking detail. The girls had convinced people that Prue had been in witness protection after someone had attacked and killed a doctor in the family home, so she was able to fit quite happily back into her old life. With a job as a photographer already arranged she had it sorted. Phoebe was struggling. She wasn't the irresponsible little child anymore, she had grown up a lot but Prue still treated her like when they were kids. Without Prue, Piper had needed her, they were there for each other, now all Piper needed were instructions from the famous Prue Halliwell, 'the grown up' one who had it all figured out, but Phoebe had to put up with this for now, if any of the girls hoped to have a normal life they had to vanquish Zankou.
Henry had called Paige and they had been out and they were spending most of their time together. He already understood Paige completely and she had never felt so comfortable with anyone, except her sisters of course, but she knew she had to tell him, she would never be truly happy until he understood what he was letting himself in for! Stuttering as they sat having a candlelit picnic under the stars Paige said nervously, 'Henry…..i need to tell you something, and you need to promise not to freak out.' Henry looked upset, 'Oh god your married aren't you? I knew I wouldn't be lucky enough to find someone for myself and…..' as he started to ramble Paige knew the only way to make him focus was to show him and hope for the best. Orbing out of view and back again Henry sat open-mouthed. 'It's okay you can leave now,' Paige said quickly choking back the tears in her voice, 'I'm a frea…' Interrupting her Henry slowly said, still in awe, 'That was awesome….my girlfriend has super powers!' Paige was astonished, not only had Henry not run away, he had just called her his girlfriend, 'So I'm your girlfriend now am I?' she asked cheekily and she continued the explanation of her extraordinary life, magic and the sisters she was patiently waiting to be reunited with.
As the demon stood in the eerie basement the girls set their meticulously planned idea into action. Prue throwing Zankou into a previously set crystal cage effortlessly, Piper then froze him as he raged against the magical bars, concentrating hard she urged the particles of his body to vibrate rapidly and he was engulfed in flames before exploding in the typical demon manner. Forgetting all issues momentarily the girls held each other tightly, they were overjoyed, they had survived, it was over and Piper thought smugly, now I can be normal.
