P.S: Words in italics are either thoughts, dreams, premonition or telepathy!!
Mass… 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)
(Hiding behind a wall, in the same cave as Jo and Mass.)
Billie: I guess we came at a bad time!!
Piper (starting to panic): Oh God!! Please tell me I misheard and she didn't say that Wyatt is the future source of all evil!!
Phoebe (trying to sooth her): Actually honey… (She gives up) yeah she did!!
Billie: Well I guess the secret is out!! (She sights) Thank God I felt like I was going to explode if I held it any longer!!
Piper (angrily): You knew about this?! ….too?!
Billie (innocently): Well that half demon/half darklighter after Paige was barely a secret!!
Paige (angrily): I can't believe you didn't tell us?! (She holds her stomach in pain)
Phoebe: Honey breathe… inhale (she takes a deep breath)… exhale (she lets go of the breathe)… inhale…
Paige (angrily): I know how to breathe thank you!!
Phoebe: Just trying to help!!
Billie: Okay you guys can we discuss that later and save Jo now!!
(Jo isn't cuffed anymore; she is lying in the floor in pain. Mass is pacing around her laughing)
Jo (in pain): What's …so...fun-ny? (He stops laughing)
Mass: Nothing… it's just that every time good tries getting the upper hand, it always fall back to evil!! And what is funnier that you saying the truth earned you a quick death!!
Jo: You … can't… ki-ll me!! You're not demon enough to do it!! (Regretting she said that)Why did I have to say this he'll probably get angrier now!!
Mass (starting to get frustrated & angry): And Why is that?! (Jo struggles not to say) You know you'll have to say and I'll give you the quick death I just promised you!!
Jo: Bec…Bec-ause… (The charmed ones and Billie enter)
Phoebe: Because we're here to save her!! (Mass looks at them not surprised at all. Jo sights in relief.)
Mass (Confidently): Like that would help!! You're no match to me and besides you have been here for a while now and you didn't make a move!!
Billie: You knew?!
Mass: Don't you think I can sense if there is a whitelighter in the underworld, let alone in the same cave. Especially if it was THE half witch/half whitelighter!!
Piper: Don't get so cocky!! (She tries to blow him up but it doesn't work)
Mass (sarcastically): Oh I'm sorry should that have killed me?! I'm afraid that it would take more than that to get rid of me Piper!! That of course if you can!! (He then T.K Jo to the wall, knocking her unconscious)
Mass: I would've suggested you leave; but why pass up the opportunity to get rid of the charmed ones? And Jo!! Damn I forgot to ask her whether she is Paige's daughter or not!!
Paige: She is!! (Obviously reading his thoughts. He smiles.)
Mass: Then it'd be great killing the charmed ones and one of their daughters.(He looks at Billie) And the ultimate power of course!!
Piper (confused): What ultimate power? She was the ultimate power when she was with her sister!!
Mass: I'm afraid to disappoint you Piper!! But that isn't quite true, right Billie?!
(Piper looks at Billie and Billie looks to the floor.)
Phoebe: Oh… My… God!! (Billie looks up annoyed and T.K Mass to a wall)
Billie: Save Jo now, talk later!! (Mass stands up)
Mass: You can never win!! (He summons a crossbow in flaming dark orbs) You're on my land now!!
(He clicks his fingers and 3 demons flame in on the right and 3 darklighters dark orb in on the left) And we're gonna do it on my rules!!
Phoebe: Any ideas?!
Piper: Paige you go to Jo, no demons for you!! And we're gonna distract (pointing at the demons and then at the darklighters and then at Mass; she clears her throat) them!!
(Piper tries to blow up the demons but only one of them is sent to the wall, the others are unaffected. She then tries on the darklighters, one of them blows up and the second is sent to the wall.)
Piper (yells): Now!!
(They separate. Piper tries to blow Mass up but nothing happens, she tries again and again and again until he is sent to the wall. She keeps trying again as an attempt of distraction. Meanwhile Phoebe is fighting with the demons. She kicks one in the stomach, and then she uses her power to send one of the fireballs at its thrower vanquishing him. In the meantime, Billie is fighting with the darklighters; she stabs one with her athame vanquishing him. The other one hold her by the neck and his hand is starting to get red. She is chocking as he's using his death grip on her. She is losing her unconscious but before he can finish his job, he's vanquished by Phoebe. She runs to Billie and she checks her pulse)
Phoebe: Come on!! (She feels one and Billie starts coming around) Thank God!!
Piper: You guys I can't hold him any longer!! (Mass standing up very angrily)
Mass: You stupid witch!! (He T.K her, she is sent next to an unconscious Jo and Paige by her side healing her.)
A voice in everyone's head but not said out loud: You're not ready!! Just get out before you get killed!!
Paige: We need to get out of here!! (Billie with help of Phoebe goes to Paige. They then all orb out but unnoticeably a dark swirl of light leaves Jo's body indicating that the spell's effect wore off.)
Mass (yells angrily): Noooo!! Not again!!
Voice in his head: Don't worry you'll get them later… when you're ready!! Now that you know you would've died, it's time to change the plans and take them to a new level!! (Mass smiles at the suggestion.)
Mass (yell): Lester!! (A demon shimmers in) We have a new plan!! (Both smile)
(Scene: Manor, Jo's on the couch unconscious and Paige is healing her. Piper comes in and hands Billie-who's sitting on a chair- a glass of water. She and Phoebe then sit down too.)
Billie: Thanks! (She drinks a bit and then she puts it back on the table. She sinks into the chair making herself comfortable.)
Phoebe: You okay?!
Billie: Yes!! Didn't know that darklighters had such thing as a death grip!!
Piper: Well we did know!! Speaking of unknown things; how come you lied to us…again!!
Voice in Piper's head: Come on take it on her!!
Billie (protesting): I didn't lie… I just didn't tell you!!
Piper: And that makes it different… how exactly?
Billie: I don't know!! I haven't seen you for more than 6 month –excluding last time!!
Paige (yells relieved suddenly): Done!! (She says as she finishes healing Jo and sitting on a chair)
Paige (looking at Piper and Billie): Did I interrupt something?!
Piper: Yes!
Billie (at the same time): No!! (Paige looks at Billie suspiciously reading her thoughts)
Paige (looking back at her sister): She wasn't certain!! She was assured after Mass said she was the ultimate power!! So she didn't know!! However (looking back at Billie) you knew what Jo has come to change and you didn't tell us!!
Voice in Paige's head: Because she is a traitor!! She almost killed you and your sisters not long ago!!
Phoebe (interrupting while looking at Jo worried): Why isn't she waking up?!
Paige: With all that darklighter poison that was inside of her, I'm surprised she made it that far alive!! It took a hell of a lot of magic to heal her!!
Piper: Yeah!! Yeah!! Can we please go back to the subject where my son is the future source of all things evil!!
Billie (rolling her eyes and muttering): I wish we didn't!!
Paige: I heard that!! (Billie rolls her eyes again)
Phoebe: So what else do you know, Billie?
Billie: Me… I don't anything. (She shrugged her shoulders)
Piper: Yeah pretend you're the innocent!! (Jo starts to stir, and begins regaining conscious)
Paige: So soon?!
Phoebe: light sleeper?!
Piper: I guess! (Jo opens her eyes and closes it a couple of times as an attempt to adapt to the light intensity. She then opens her eye suddenly and sits up quickly –not knowing where she is)
Phoebe (going by Jo's side): Easy… Easy!!
Jo: Are you guys okay?!
Paige: Yes we are!! But you need to lye down for a bit, you were seriously injured!! She definitely cares about everyone else before herself!!
(Phoebe helps Jo lye back down. Jo sights in relief as she lies back down and she holds her head)
Phoebe: You okay?! (Jo looks at her)
Jo: I'm still alive, aren't I?
Paige: Barely!! You had too much poison inside you. Not that I'm complaining, the poison was enough to kill more than 5 whitelighters, I don't know why it didn't kill you!!
Jo (teasingly): I don't know, maybe because I'm only a half whitelighter!!
Phoebe: That would've made it even worse!!
Jo: Will you guys drop the subject already?!
Piper (challenging): Yes!! And let's go to the subject where you're such a coward that you told the demon everything so you get a quick death!!
Voice in Piper's head: She's a coward… she's a traitor… don't trust her!!
Jo (confused): Excuse me?!
Billie: Piper not now!!
Voice in Piper's head: Come on do it!!
Piper (standing up angrily): No now is the perfect time!! So do you mind telling me why did you act so coward and just tell the demon what he wants?! (Jo was about to speak when Piper interrupts) All of that for a quick death?! (Jo sits up and everyone else stands up)
Jo: It wasn't …
Voice in Piper's head: You know you wanna do it!!
Piper (interrupting again angrily): Since you came here, we've been asking you why the hell did you come from the future?! And you gave us the 'Future Consequences' speech; but when the demon asked you, you simply answered and not only he knows, it turns out that Billie knows too!! (Jo stands up)
Jo: He …
Voice in Piper's head: Excellent!! Let it all out!!
Piper (angrily): We don't know even who you are, you maybe working with the demons; maybe you were part of the trap to lead us to the underworld, and maybe you're lying about Wyatt being evil!! So just get out!!
Voice in Jo's head: Are you gonna let her do this, you know she's wrong!!
Jo (angrily): Wyatt is THE source of all things evil!! And I'm anything but a coward' and a proof of that is all the darklighter poison that was in me!! If you want me to get out I'll do it. (She prepares to orb) Oh and for the record Billie knew without my help and the demon casted some kind of a truth spell on me, that's the only reason I talked after I struggled a lot not to!! (Everyone is shocked.)
Piper (confused): Demons or darklighters don't do spells!!
Voice in Jo's head: You know she's the cause of your problems, because she didn't know how to raise her son right!!
Jo: But warlocks do!! So before you go accuse me of being evil, see what your son grows up to be!! (She orbs out and everyone sits down but Billie)
Phoebe: Piper did you have to be so mean?! Oh God what are we gonna do?! (Piper buries her face in her hands)
Piper: I didn't mean to!! Oh God if I can only take it back!!
Paige: Piper I know what you're feeling and I know it's much pressure but … (Piper stands up)
Voice in Piper's head: She has no idea what you've been through!!
Piper (Angrily): No you don't know Paige!! You don't know how I feel!! Do you have any idea how I tried so hard to raise Wyatt to be good?! (Starting to cry)
Voice in Piper's head: Chris!! What about poor Chris who died protecting him!!
Piper: Do you have any idea how I feel knowing that Chris died trying to protect Wyatt from turning evil and yet he fail, no I failed not him!!
Voice in Piper's head: What about Leo and the elders he killed!!
Piper: Leo had to kill an elder trying to raise Wyatt as good and then he killed another one trying to save his sons!! So don't tell me how I feel because you don't!! (She storms up to her room)
Phoebe: So that didn't really go well!!
Paige: Ya!! But you know Piper, she just got carried away, she'll calm down.
Phoebe: Yeah!! I hope so!! I know still it's shocking!! (Paige nods)
Paige: Billie do you have any idea where Jo is?!
Billie: Yeah, she's probably at magic school resting, or on the Golden Gate Bridge thinking, or the worst possibility…
Phoebe (interrupting): In the underworld, venting on some demons!! (Billie nods)
Paige (Sarcastically): Poor demons!! (They all smile)
Paige: But I think she'll be resting because with all that poison that was in her body, she must be dizzy or something!! I hope she doesn't come down with a fever or a power drain or something!!
Billie: Okay I'll go check up on her!!
Phoebe: Good idea!! (Billie throws a potion at her feet and then disappears in a gust of wind)
Phoebe: Do you think she knows something?!
Paige: Billie?! (Phoebe nods) No, she doesn't!! I'd better call Henry and tell him I'll be late because this is going to be a long night!! (Phoebe & Paige climb up the stairs. Suddenly Barbas materialize)
Barbas: I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing … yet!! But I'm gonna use it to get my revenge!!
(He then dematerializes as he hears foot steps. Paige comes down and looks around the room for something or someone –to be exact)
Paige: I could've sworn some one was talking here!!
