Previously on Was it all for nothing:
Jo: What does he have to prove anymore?
Billie: But what you don't know is that he's a half demon/half darklighter!!
Billie: Is the future screwed because of Wyatt?! (Jo looks up and clears her throat)
Barbas: Guess who is back on the 13th!!
(Scene Manor, Piper is cleaning up when she hears the door being slammed; she looks and sees Paige)
Piper (sarcastically): What did that door ever do to you? (She notices that Paige's face is pale)
Piper: What's wrong? Didn't it go well with the doctor? (She and Paige sit down)
Paige (sarcastically): Perfect!!
Piper: What do you mean?
Paige: He told me the child's gender!!
Piper: Well you already know it!! Oh please tell me you acted surprised or excited!!
Paige (sarcastically): Oh believe me I did!!
Piper: Then what's wrong?
Paige: Apparently I'm pregnant with a boy!! (Pipers' eyes widen)
Piper: Please tell me this isn't a joke!!
Paige: Do I look like I'm kidding!!
Piper: OMG!! Not that it's not good news, it's just that….
Paige: …… I know!! (Suddenly 4 demons shimmer in)
Piper: What the ……? (She blows up a demon and another one is just sent to the wall)
(The third demon shoots an energy ball at Paige but before it can come near her, it vanishes in orbs and then orbs surround the remaining demons and they are vanquished)
Piper: Glad to see that you'll have one hell of a powerful boy!! (Paige and Piper smile)
(3 more demons shimmer in front of them)
Piper (yells): Jo!! Jo!! (Piper blasts one and then the remaining two, she then looks behind her as she hears a gasp, and she sees Paige on the ground and a darklighter ready to shoot)
Piper: Oh no you don't!! (She blows him up and goes to Paige's side) Are you okay?!
Paige (in pain): Not…really!! (Piper notices that Paige's face is getting paler and she's starting to sweat, she then notices that there is an arrow stuck to Paige's shoulder)
Piper (starting to panic): Oh no he shot you!! I should get that out before it gets worse!! (Paige nods, Piper breaks the tip of the arrow. Paige bits her lips in pain. Piper then pushes the arrow out, which causes Paige to cry in pain. Piper throws the arrow on the floor and helps Paige to the couch)
Piper: Jo!! Jo!! I've got to get Phoebe!! (Piper runs to the phone and dials a number)
Phoebe (o.s): Hi Piper!! Can't really talk right now!! Can I call…?
Piper (interrupting): Phoebe get your ass down here, Paige is hurt!!
Phoebe (o.s): What?! How?!
Piper: Darklighter!!
Phoebe (o.s): Oh God!! I'm on my way!!
Piper: Hurry!! (Piper hangs up and goes to Paige, who is getting worse)Jo!! Hey hang in there!!
Paige (in pain): I'll…try!! (3 demons shimmer in behind Piper and before she can react, one throws an energy ball at her back and then T.K her to the wall. She drops to the floor)
Paige: Pip-er!
Demon 1: Looks like the super witch isn't anymore!! (Paige manages to sits up, while holding her wound)
Paige: You… Son of … a!! (The demons conjure fireballs) Jo!!
Demon 2: And here I thought that it was going to be difficult!! Goodbye!! (The three balls were about to hit Paige when they suddenly freeze along with the demons. Paige looks at Piper, who's holding her hand up freezing the demons. Piper then blows up the fireballs and the demons. She goes to Paige)
Piper: Are you okay?! (Paige shakes her head and leans back on the couch) Where the hell is Phoebe?
Paige: I… don't… think… she'll… make it!!
Piper (starting to cry): No!! She will!! She must!! (Reality is starting to hit Piper; Phoebe won't make it on time, Paige is getting worse every minute. I'm gonna lose another sister. I can't lose her. I won't lose her)
Piper (yells): Jo!! Jo!! Wyatt!! Wyatt come here mommy needs you!! (Wyatt orbs in beside her)
Piper: Hey Wyatt can you heal aunty Paige for me!! (Wyatt nods and he puts both his hands on Paige's wound; golden light is emitted and Paige's wound is healed. Paige sits up. Wyatt then heals his mother's injury on her back)
Piper: Good boy Wyatt!! Are you okay?!
Paige: Yes that was close!! Thanks Wyatt!
Wyatt: Your… welcome!!
Piper: Why don't you go back to magic school or else daddy will get worried!!
Wyatt: Okay!! Bye!! (He orbs out, Paige lies her head back on the couch)
Piper: You sure you're okay?!
Paige: Yeah I think I just need a couple of minutes to get my strength back.
Piper: I'm afraid that more demons may attack and we won't be able to stop them.
Paige: Well don't worry, Phoebe's on the way and …. (3 more demons shimmer in. Paige stands up.)
Piper: I'm getting tired of this!! (She tries to blow up the demons, but only one is sent to the wall then he gets back up, the other two weren't affected)
Piper: Oh no they're immune!! Jo!! Jo!! (The demons conjure fire balls and they throw it towards Paige but Piper pushes her to the couch at the last second; 2 darklighters dark orb in beside the demons.)
Darklighter 1: Look who have we got here!! (The darklighters summon their crossbows and load them and the demons conjure fireballs as Paige manages to stand up. Piper tries to blow up the darklighters but it didn't work as well. )
Piper (yells): Jo!! (The darklighters shoot the arrows toward Paige and the demons shoot their fire balls towards Piper.)
Paige (yells): Fireballs!! (The fireballs are turned into orbs and hit their respective demons vanquishing them; While the arrows before they can hit her, they are sent to the darklighters in orbs vanquishing them. Paige looks confused)
Paige: Okay I didn't call for the arrows!!
Piper: Maybe your baby's powers don't need the voice command; and speaking of which, are you out of your freaking mind?! You orbed the fireballs that were coming towards me instead of the arrows coming towards you?! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!
Paige: Instead of thanking me for saving your ass, you're shouting at me?!
Piper: Yeah!! Because it was a really irresponsible act from you!!
Paige: Jeez Piper will you chill out I'm still alive, aren't I?! (Paige suddenly holds her head in pain)
Piper (worried): What?! What's wrong?!
Paige: Billie!! She's hurt!!
Piper: Okay let's go!! (Piper holds Paige's hand and they orb out)
(Scene: Billie's condo, Billie is on the floor almost every part of her body is bruised or has blood on it, she has a scorch mark on her side and an injury of something sharp in her stomach; she's barely breathing and there's a demon holding an athame and is about to stab her –obviously again. Piper blows up the demon.)
Paige: OMG Billie!! (She runs to her side and starts healing her. Billie is crying from the amount of pain she's trying to bare.)
Piper: Is she okay?!
Paige: She will be!! (Paige continues to heal Billie's wounds until she's done. She then helps Billie to sit on a chair)
Piper: Are you alright?!
Billie: Yeah I think!! Thanks Paige!!
Paige: Any time!! What happened?!
Billie: Jo and I were checking up on some demons and we found one in an alley. So we went there and it's like we've fallen in a demonic nest or something. They were too much and we couldn't beat them all. I would've died if Jo hasn't orbed… me…out!! (Starting to panic) OMG Jo!! We have to look for her.
Piper: Why where's she?
Billie: Well the last thing I saw was demons capturing her, that's when she orbed me out!!
Paige: I don't think we'll find her in that alley if we went there!!
Billie: So what should we do?!
Piper: We go back to the manor, where Phoebe will probably be there….I think.
Paige: OMG what if she was attacked?!
Billie: Okay so we go to Phoebe then the manor.
Piper: So let's go. (They hold hands and orb out)
(Scene Underworld; Cave, Jo was hanged to the wall hand cuffed; She was –obviously- badly beaten. Her shoulders and sides were bleeding but no deep injuries)
Demon: Speak witch!! Tell us what happens in the future!! (Jo shuts her eyes in a sign of refusal)
Darklighter: I guess we will have to use one of arrows now!! (The demon nods. The darklighter holds one of his arrows in his hand)
Demon: One last chance or this is going to get worse!! (Jo closes her eyes harder expecting the pain. The darklighter moves the arrow's tip along Jo's skin scratching it. But Jo screams in pain as the tip of the arrow is poisonous. This repeats for a couple of times and Jo still refuses to speak)
Voice: Stop!! (The darklighter stops before shooting Jo with an arrow. Mass appears)
Mass: We don't want to kill her now, do we?
Darklighter: No sir!! It's just that she won't speak!!
Mass (sarcastically): Well what did you expect? You asking her and her answering?! It's going to be more difficult than that!!
Demon: So what do you suggest we should do, sir?
Mass: You go with the others and keep the charmed ones occupied!! (The demon shimmers out)
Darklighter: What about me, sir?
Mass: You go wait until I give you the order to attack!! (The darklighter bows and dark orb out)
Mass (talking to Jo): So!! Are we doing this the easy way or the hard way?!
Jo (in pain): Go to hell!!
Mass: It's a good idea!! (He holds her and teleport out with flaming dark orbs)
(Scene Manor, Paige is healing Phoebe who's on the couch. Paige finishes healing and Phoebe sits up)
Billie: You okay?!
Phoebe (sarcastically): I'm still alive, aren't I? (3 demons shimmer in. Piper blows up one. Billie throws her athame at the second. Paige shoots orb out of her hand vanquishing the third one)
Piper: What is this, kill the Charmed ones day?
Paige (sarcastically): No this would be every day of the year!!
Billie: Okay we need to find Jo before something bad happens to her!!
Phoebe: Since when are you and Jo hanging out!!
Billie: Hanging out?! If you call vanquishing demons –hanging out!!
Phoebe: Okay how long have you and Paige's daughter been vanquishing demons?!
Billie: Since I first met her!! Any way-
Paige (interrupting): Phoebe did I forget to tell you that I'm pregnant with a boy?!
Phoebe (her eyes widen): A boy?! But that wouldn't support our conclusion that she's your daughter!
Piper: Exactly!!
Billie: Okay but-
Phoebe (interrupting): But maybe she is your daughter and she has an older brother!!
Piper (sarcastically): Ya and a sister who's dead!!
Paige: Maybe!! We'll just have to ask her!!
Billie: But we'll have to find her first!! (Phoebe touches Billie's shoulder and is sucked into a premonition)
Paige (eyeing her suspiciously): What do you know?
Billie: Me. I don't know a thing!! (Phoebe's premonition ends)
Phoebe: Okay can we delay this to later!! Because I just saw Jo getting killed!!
Billie: What?!
Piper: Okay let's go scry, Billie you do some potions!! Paige rest a little until we find her!!
Paige: What?!
Phoebe: Yes you shouldn't be fighting demons when you're pregnant!!
Piper: When I was pregnant, you guys locked me up in magic school remember?!
Paige: Are you sure you won't need help!!
Phoebe/Piper: No!!
Paige: Okay!! If you need anything I'm just call for me!!
(Scene: cave. Jo is hand cuffed to the wall again. But she has more wounds)
Mass: Okay let's try this again!! What will happen in the future?!
Jo (sweating from the heat and crying from the pain): I thou-ght you … got th-at I'm not … telling you any-thing!!
Mass: I don't know what else to try on you -that won't kill you. I even took you to hell and the wasteland. Maybe a spell would work!!
Jo: You can't do a spell!! You're a demon-
Mass (interrupting): And a darklighter and I have taken some witches' powers after killing them!!
Jo: It doesn't work that way!!
Mass: We'll see!! By the way, I haven't said that I'll cast the spell!! (He clicks his finger and a warlock blinks in)
Mass: You can cast spell, right?!
Warlock: Yes sir!! Which one do you need?!
Mass: I need to get some information out of that half witch/half whitelighter!! Can you think of something?! (The warlock nods; he then says a spell in Latin and a swirl of dark light enter Jo's body)
Warlock: It's done!! It won't last long though, so you'd better hurry!!
Mass: Go now, you'll be rewarded later!! (The warlock bows and blinks out)
Mass: So I'll ask you a specific question!! What happens to me in the future?
Jo (she struggles not to talk but she can't): You… You're… dead!! (He looks shocked)
Mass: Oh!! I haven't seen that coming but we'll change it!! Another question. Why did you come back from the future?!
Jo: To… sa-ve … it!!
Mass: From what?!
Jo: From… evil!!
Mass: Who… exactly? (Mass raises an eyebrow in anticipation)
Jo: Wyatt Halliwell, the future source of all evil!! (Mass laughs evilly)
