TEASER

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

EXT. P3 – NIGHT (2061 – FLASHFORWARD)

ON THE SCREEN:

SAN FRANCISCO, 2061

People entering the PLACE as the loud music can be heard from the outside.

CUT TO:

INT. P3 – DANCING FLOOR / BAR – NIGHT (2061 – FLASHFORWARD)

SOUND: THE DJ PLAYS HIS MUSIC.

The club is crowded. People are dancing. The ambiance is a little bit different from the P3 we all know. It seems darker.

Matt comes in from the entrance staircase and looks around. He doesn’t seem shocked at P3’s ambiance. Slowly, he makes his way towards the bar. As he walks there, some women wearing short leather black dresses approach them and try to hit on him, but he pushes them away.

He approaches the counter and right away a brunette woman, who’s behind the counter puts a drink before Matt. He looks at the drink and then up at the woman who put the drink on the counter.

BEAT. Wearing a glittering purple dress, she stands before him… Patience smirks at him.

MATT

Patience!

PATIENCE

Hi, Matty Matt. Nice to see you here.

Suddenly, the music stops. Everybody turns around including Matt. They stare at a man that comes from the door that leads to the storeroom.

This man --- he wears an elegant dark grey suit. His blue eyes shine brightly. Every woman in the place looks at him with desire. He knows it and likes it. PIERCE (23) seems a successful man in every field of his life.

Pierce spots Matt. He stops. Both men stare at one another. Pierce smirks and then walks towards Matt. Both men stand serious at one another.

PIERCE

Matt!

Matt swallows.

MATT

I can’t say I like what you did with the place.

Pierce laughs. He turns around and signs everybody to get back to the dancing and music. The music starts again and everybody dance. Employees walk through the place serving customers. Female employees wear short dresses. Pierce turns to Matt.

PIERCE

Everybody has the right to have a little bit of fun. Don’t you agree, cous?

BEAT. Pierce and Matt are related.

MATT

This was a better place when demons were only vanquished here and not invited to socialize.

PIERCE

Not only demons come here to socialize, Matt. Besides, I kept the name to honor the line I come from.

Pierce approaches the counter and takes the drink Patience poured to Matt.

PATIENCE

You haven’t said what brings you here, Matt.

Matt looks at Patience and then at Pierce. The last one has a sip of the drink.

MATT

(to Pierce)

We are burying your mother tomorrow.

Pierce's eyes seem empty.

MATT (CONT'D)

You know, the one that was killed by one of your employees.

Pierce smirks.

PIERCE

Mum was dead long before that.

Pierce turns to Matt. Peri joins Patience behind the counter. She wears a glittering dark blue dress.

PERI

(to Patience)

What is he doing here?

PATIENCE

Came to tell about the funeral.

Patience and Peri exchange glances.

MATT

(to Pierce)

You’re right. She died the day you and your father were taken from her.

PIERCE

She could have stayed with us. But she chose to fight us.

Matt looks at Pierce with disdain.

MATT

How did you become this evil man?

PIERCE

It’s in my nature, remember?

MATT

No, it’s not. You were raised to be good. But you choose otherwise.

Pierce approaches Matt and speaks to his hears. Only Matt can hear him.

PIERCE

I choose the winning side, cous. You and the others could do the same.

Pierce steps back.

PIERCE (CONT'D)

You know there is a place for you all with us.

Matt glares from Pierce to Patience to Peri. Then he looks at Pierce.

MATT

Never.

Before turning to leave ---

MATT (CONT'D)

If you loved your mother, show it.

Matt turns and walks away. Pierce stares at Matt as he leaves.

PERI

(to Pierce)

Are you going?

Pierce looks at the twins.

PERI (CONT'D)

To your mother’s funeral.

PIERCE

Like I said, ---

And endless darkness can be seen in his eyes.

PIERCE (CONT'D)

--- Melinda Halliwell died long ago.

BEAT. Pierce turns and walks away into the crowd. Patience and Peri exchange glances.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – WYATT & PRUE’S BEDROOM – DAY

Prue is awake and walking from a side to another. She seems worried. At that moment, Wyatt comes in.

WYATT

Love?

Prue turns and looks at him. He is wearing the same clothes as the day before. Prue approaches him and both hug.

PRUE

I’m so, so glad you are back, honey.

They kiss. Wyatt lowers and kisses Prue’s stomach.

WYATT

How is my little girl?

Wyatt looks up at Prue.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Did she let you sleep last night?

Prue can’t hide her worried look. Wyatt notices.

WYATT (CONT'D)

What’s wrong?

PRUE

Christina behaved tonight.

WYATT

But ---

Prue takes a deep breath.

PRUE

It’s just that ---

She looks Wyatt in the eyes.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I just had to watch Melinda. That’s all.

WYATT

Honey ---

Wyatt holds Prue’s face between his hands.

WYATT (CONT'D)

--- You need to think about you and the baby.

PRUE

I know, Wy, but your sister ---

Prue thinks twice.

PRUE (CONT'D)

--- Your sister’s astral self has been a bad girl.

Wyatt doesn’t understand.

WYATT

Her astral self?

PRUE

Yeah, she’s been seeing Damon.

WYATT

Seeing Damon?

PRUE

Well, that wasn’t exactly the ‘s’ word I wanted to use, but yeah.

Wyatt gets serious.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Please tell me that you know what’s wrong with her besides this secret agenda and the orbing thing.

Wyatt stares seriously at Prue.

WYATT

She’s a hybrid.

Prue is astonished.

PRUE

What?

WYATT

Not like us, but still.

PRUE

You mean Melinda is part Whitelighter?

WYATT

She has a dormant gene.

(pauses)

A dormant gene awakened by her astral self.

Prue is open-eyed.

CUT TO BLACK.

ACT ONE

FADE IN:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO – DAY

Aerial footage all over the town at the sound of ‘Lone Ranger’ by Rachel Platten.

Several places all over the town are shown. A new and shiny day has started in San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge is already busy in the morning as people cross the bridge driving their cars.

CUT TO:

EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR – DAY

MUSIC KEEPS PLAYING ON THE BACKGROUND.

A car is pulled in front of the manor. Soon, Bianca can be seen exiting the car and heading to the front door.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – WYATT & PRUE’S BEDROOM – DAY

MUSIC FADES OFF.

Prue is sitting on the edge of the bed. She is thoughtful. Wyatt comes from the bathroom wearing different clothes.

PRUE

I still can’t believe they kept this from her. All these years ---

Prue looks at Wyatt.

WYATT

They just wanted to give her a normal childhood. They were afraid of another child orbing all over the place.

PRUE

She had a dormant gene, Wy.

WYATT

I know, but I and Chris didn’t. And you.

Prue stands.

WYATT (CONT'D)

You started using your beaming power a few weeks after you were born. You beamed yourself and everyone else all over the place.

PRUE

Look who’s talking!

(pauses)

Still, she had the right to know.

Wyatt approaches her and hugs her.

WYATT

I can relate, you know.

Prue looks up at him.

WYATT (CONT'D)

I imagine how is it going to be with our little ‘P’.

PRUE

We are not giving her a ‘P’ name, Wyatt and ---

(steps back)

--- are you actually saying that we should do the same with our daughter’s powers?

WYATT

No, I am not.

Wyatt looks aside.

WYATT (CONT'D)

But it crossed my mind.

PRUE

Wyatt!

WYATT

I just remember how hard it was for them not to know how to make me and Chris stop using our powers for any reason.

PRUE

Still.

WYATT

But I put that thought out of my mind immediately.

PRUE

You better.

Prue approaches him and puts her hands on his chest.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Honey, this is who she is.

WYATT

I know. This is also who Melinda is.

PRUE

She has the right to know about it.

WYATT

I know. Mum and dad are here.

Prue’s eyes wide open. At that moment, someone knocks at the door and comes in. It is Melinda.

MELINDA

Hey, Prue. I ---

She stops and looks at them.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

(to Wyatt)

Shouldn’t you be at work already?

WYATT

I just came home.

MELINDA

(sarcastic)

Oh, you worked till late. What a surprise! Anyway, ---

(to Prue)

I really need to talk to you about yesterday.

Prue and Wyatt exchange glances.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

You know, like old times.

WYATT

Actually Mel, mum and dad are here.

MELINDA

(surprised)

Oh, I didn’t know they were coming to visit.

WYATT

They are not. They are here to talk to you.

Melinda doesn’t understand. She is serious.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – DAY

ON: PIPER AND BIANCA HUGGING. They break the hug and Piper touches Bianca’s belly. Leo and Chris stand there staring at them.

PIPER

Oh my God! It is so big.

Bianca smiles.

BIANCA

It is and it makes me feel fat.

CHRIS

You are not fat, honey.

Bianca and Chris smile at each other.

LEO

(to Bianca)

It is nice to see you and the baby are well, Bianca.

BIANCA

It is nice to see you too, even ---

Bianca holds Piper’s hand.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

--- Even if it is for the reasons that bring you guys here.

Piper and Leo exchange glances. At that moment, Melinda comes in.

MELINDA

Mum!

Melinda walks fast towards Piper and both hug. Wyatt and Prue come in holding hands.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Why didn’t you say you were coming?

Wyatt, Prue, Chris and Bianca exchange glances. Melinda and Piper break the hug and Melinda walks towards Leo and hugs him.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Dad!

LEO

Hello sweetie.

They break the hug. Melinda smiles at her father. She holds his right hand and looks at Piper.

MELINDA

What brings you guys here? How is New Orleans?

Melinda realizes there’s something wrong. All of them cannot hide the ‘something is happening’ look on their faces.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

What’s wrong?

Melinda stares from one to the other.

PIPER

(to Melinda)

Honey, we need to talk.

The look in their faces gives shills to Melinda. She can feel that something is wrong.

MELINDA

You guys are worrying me.

Piper takes Melinda’s hand and drives her to the couch.

PIPER

Come, darling. Sit.

Melinda sits as them all look at them.

PIPER (CONT'D)

We need to tell you something we’ve been hiding for so long.

Melinda looks from Wyatt to Chris.

MELINDA

Tell me what?

Piper sits beside Melinda. Leo sits beside Melinda as well.

LEO

First, honey, know that we did what we did because we love you.

Both Piper and Leo hold Melinda’s hand. She is worried and she doesn’t even know what’s to come.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD – BLACK WIZARD’S CAVE – DAY

ON AISLING’S EYES. They are completely white. She’s having a vision. Jannes is also there. He walks around her giving her a curious look.

AISLING

There’s two.

Jannes stops and stares at the Oracle. Aisling’s eyes get back to normal and she stares at Jannes.

JANNES

What did you see?

Aisling smiles.

AISLING

Are you sure you don’t want to try to befriend them?

Jannes shoots her a ‘don’t start’ look.

AISLING (CONT'D)

I’m just saying. I’ve grown fond of them. Well, it was actually just Prue. She was the closest of a friend I’ve ever had.

JANNES

What did you see?

Jannes is impatient. Aisling shrugs.

AISLING

Fine.

She gives her back on him.

AISLING (CONT'D)

The middle Charmed One.

(turns to face Jannes)

She is going through some stuff.

JANNES

What stuff?

AISLING

Problems in her private life.

JANNES

And that helps me how?

The right corner of Aisling lips lifts up.

AISLING

She is at a weaker moment.

JANNES

You said there were two of them.

Aisling keeps the creepy smirk on her face.

AISLING

There will be.

Jannes gets thoughtful. His thoughts start coming out of his mouth.

JANNES

Killing her would not only break the power of nine.

Aisling stares at him already knowing what he is thinking.

AISLING

It will also break the Power of Three. And therefore, the future will change a little bit.

Jannes turns to Aisling and both stare at each other.

AISLING (CONT'D)

It’s not an important and crucial part of the future. It won’t stop her either, but it may help.

Jannes smirks. Both stare at each other.

CUT TO:

EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR – DAY

STOCK.

MELINDA (O.S.)

What?!

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – DAY

ON MELINDA. A shocked look on her face.

MELINDA

I’m a what?

Melinda is standing. She is incredulous. Piper and Leo stand. Chris, Wyatt, Prue, and Bianca are there.

PIPER

Sweetie ---

MELINDA

(mad)

Don’t sweetie me.

Melinda walks away from her parents. She is very upset. Her eyes start getting wet. Tears want to come out, but somehow, she tries to hold them in.

LEO

Mel ---

Melinda turns around. Her face is getting red.

MELINDA

You lied to me.

Piper hides her face between her hands. Melinda looks at her brother and sisters-in-law. She is hurting.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

You all did.

LEO

They just found out, Mel.

MELINDA

All this time ---

Piper looks at her daughter and tries to approach her, but Melinda holds her ring hand to stop her.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

I don’t know what to think. My whole life has been a lie.

WYATT

Please, Mel ---

She is in so much pain. Melinda starts to shake.

PRUE

Something is wrong with her.

They all look at Melinda. Piper approaches her and tries to calm her, but Melinda shakes her out.

MELINDA

I don’t ---

Melinda leans against a wall. It's hard for her to breath.

PIPER

Sweetie, you are not well.

Melinda feels all her senses leaving her.

MELINDA’S POV: Melinda’s vision starts to fade and soon it’s all black.

Piper runs to her daughter. Leo approaches her too. Piper tries to wake her, but nothing. Leo tries to get her pulse.

LEO

(to Wyatt and Chris)

Sons ---

Wyatt and Chris are about to walk towards her when ---

BEAT. ASTRAL MELINDA appears before them. Prue and Bianca see that, but the others don’t notice it.

BIANCA

He, guys ---

The others look at Melinda’s astral self who's standing before them and smiling.

ASTRAL MELINDA

Well, that was a hell of a secret you kept.

(smiles)

But thank you. Now I’m free.

She laughs and just like that she ORBS out. They all stare at one another while Melinda’s body lies on the floor.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – MELINDA’S BEDROOM – DAY

The bedroom is different from what it’s known. Time has passed after all. On a corner, holding a frame against her chest is a blond girl. Her black dress is just a sign of the lost that she feels. Jo carries a heavy burden. She carries sadness and emptiness.
At that moment, a knock on the door takes her out of her thoughts. Jo turns around as the door opens and Matt comes in. The same sadness in his face. The young man wears a black suit with a white shirt and black tie. He forces a sympathetic smile to Jo.

MATT

Time to go.

Jo lowers her gaze and looks at the frame she’s holding. A tear runs down her face.

JO

I used to stay here with her after her husband and son were taken.

Jo looks at Matt.

JO (CONT'D)

She was devastated and I thought we could console each other. She’s lost her son and I thought I could replace him.

MATT

I remember.

(forces a smile)

She barely left the room. It killed her when they were taken from her.

JO

That was the worst day of her life.

Jo’s eyes are wet.

MATT

Yeah, I also remember when dad got mad at her because she wasn’t fighting.

As Matt remembers, a melancholic smile shows up on his face.

MATT (CONT'D)

Aunt Cass and aunt Charlie took aunt Mel’s side.

JO

They said she needed to mourn.

MATT

And dad said that the battle was not lost because they were still alive. Aunt Tam took dad’s side.

JO

She has become tougher herself. She has also lost part of her.

MATT

But the worse day of aunt Mel’s life was when we were to close to get Pierce back and he ---

Matt and Jo look at each other.

MATT (CONT'D)

--- He didn’t want to come.

Tears run down Jo’s face. Matt tries to hold his own tears inside.

JO

How can they do this to us, Matt? When are they going to stop?

And Jo breaks down. Tears come out with intensity. She is not capable to hold them in.

JO (CONT'D)

I just lost the only mother I ever knew.

Matt rushes to her and hugs her.

MATT

We are going to fix it. We just have to have faith.

JO

There’s only one way for this to stop.

Jo looks him in the eyes.

JO (CONT'D)

I need to join them.

Matt holds her by her arms.

MATT

You won’t. Never.

They look each other in the eyes.

MATT (CONT'D)

You promised her you’d never let go.

Tears run down her face.

JO

I just miss her.

MATT

Me too.

Matt and Jo hug. Jo still holding the frame.

ON FRAME: MELINDA IS HUGGING A 10 YEARS OLD BLOND GIRL: PRUE’S DAUGHTER, CHRISTINA.

ON: MELINDA BEING LAID ON THE COUCH.

Chris lies Melinda down on the couch. Leo has an arm over Piper’s shoulder. Wyatt, Prue, and Bianca are also there.

PIPER

My daughter hates me.

WYATT

Mum, she doesn’t. She’s just ---

Wyatt glares at Chris, Prue, and Bianca looking for some support, but they shrug.

CHRIS

We need to focus on finding Melinda know. I mean Astral Melinda.

PRUE

I think I might have an idea of where she may be.

LEO

Where?

PRUE

Damon.

They all exchange confused glares.

BIANCA

Damon?

Wyatt and Prue exchange glances.

PRUE

Astral Melinda is Mel’s inner desires.

CHRIS

And why is Damon in the picture?

PRUE

You ask your sister that once she comes back.

Wyatt takes his cellphone and gets off out the room. They all stare at one another.

CUT TO:

INT. HBM GROUP – DAMON’S OFFICE – DAY

Damon comes in holding some files in one hand and picking his cellphone with the other.

DAMON

(on the phone)

Wyatt, what’s up?

Damon closes the door behind him with his feet. He puts the files on the desk.

DAMON (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

No, I haven’t seen her today. Wait, why are you asking me?

Whatever Wyatt answers surprises Damon.

DAMON (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

I can explain ---

(pauses)

--- Okay, but what’s going on?

(pauses)

Okay, fine. If I find her I’ll let you know. But later you’re going to explain to me what this is about.

Damon hangs off the phone. His cell buzzes with a text message. He looks at it.
ON CELL’S SCREEN: A TEXT MESSAGE FROM MELINDA.

‘Wanna see the whole pic?’

ON CELLPHONE’S SCREEN: DAMON ROLLS THE TEXT DOWN AND A PIC APPEARS. IT SHOWS A PART OF MELINDA’S CHEST WEARING SOME KIND OF RED LINGERIE.

Damon’s eyes wide open. He stares at the phone.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – DAY

They are still there. Wyatt comes in.

WYATT

He hasn’t seen her.

CHRIS

(to Prue)

You still haven’t said what Damon has to do with all of this?

BIANCA

Yes, why Melinda’s inner desires would be to look for Damon.

PIPER

What about that boyfriend of her? What’s his name?

LEO

What’s his look? We haven’t meet him.

PRUE

Believe me, Astral Melinda won’t look for Liam.

PIPER

Liam. That’s his name.

Chris stares at Prue still waiting for an answer.

PRUE

I’m not going to say anything about your sister’s private life.

CHRIS

What do you mean, Prue?

They all stare at Prue, but Wyatt.

WYATT

Okay, guys, stop it. This is Melinda’s personal stuff.

CHRIS

Well, maybe it’ll help us to help her.

And something pops into Chris’ mind.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

Wait.

(to Prue)

You’ve caught her the other day. When she orbed.

Prue glances at Wyatt.

PRUE

Okay!

Prue glares at them all.

PRUE (CONT'D)

She has been seeing Damon.

BIANCA

Does she still love Damon?

PRUE

What do you think?

LEO

But she broke up with him.

PRUE

That’s all I know. And know if you excuse me, I’m going to get the gang on the search for Melinda’s astral butt. I’m done explaining her actions.

She turns around and leaves the room. They all stare at one another. Bianca feels uncomfortable and ---

BIANCA

You know what? I’m going with Prue.

And Bianca walks as fast as she can out of the room. Piper, Leo, Wyatt and Chris look at a sleepy Melinda on the couch. She moves as she’s just sleeping and having normal dreams.

CUT TO:

EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR – PORCH – DAY

Prue comes out and right after, Bianca comes following.

PRUE

I’ll take the Mitchells.

BIANCA

I get the Cupids.

They nod at each other and walk down stairs, then Prue heads towards the Mitchells manor as Bianca walks towards the Cupids manor.

CUT TO:

INT. MATTHEWS / MITCHELL MANOR – ENTRANCE HALL / STAIRCASE – DAY

SOUND: DOORBELL.

Junior comes from the living room and heads the front door. He opens it. Prue is there.

JUNIOR

Hey!

PRUE

Hey!

Prue comes in. Junior closes the door behind him.

JUNIOR

You good?

Prue turns to him. She caresses her belly.

PRUE

We are.

Prue glances around making sure they are alone.

PRUE (CONT'D)

About yesterday, thank you.

JUNIOR

Anytime. Did you go there? Did you take her there?

Prue nods.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

So? Are they her parents?

Prue stares serious at Junior.

PRUE

At first, it seemed like they were. She was in pain from the moment she laid eyes on them.

JUNIOR

Well, that’s good. At least we now know where she comes from.

PRUE

They are not her parents.

Junior doesn’t understand.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Eric called last night and he told me that they were having a boy.

JUNIOR

But ---

PRUE

They were wrong. Jo is not their daughter.

JUNIOR

Then why didn’t she say so?

PRUE

That’s exactly what I don’t understand.

Prue approaches Junior.

PRUE (CONT'D)

This must remain between us. No one apart from the four of us can know what we know.

Junior nods.

JUNIOR

Okay. But if she’s not –--

(pauses)

--- Then, who ---

PRUE

I don’t know.

They stare at one another.

JUNIOR

I’ll make sure Melissa tells no one.

Prue gives him a smile. At that moment, the twins come downstairs.

TAMORA

Hey, I thought I heard your voice.

Prue turns to them.

PRUE

Well, I need your guys help.

Prue looks at Pandora. The girl is wearing a short blue dress. Her hair falls wavily on her shoulders and she is wearing red lipstick.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(to Pandora)

Not a good time for you?

PANDORA

Oh, I was just ---

TAMORA

Her boyfriend is arriving to town.

PRUE

Oh ---

JUNIOR

Boyfriend?

TAMORA

Ethan.

JUNIOR

Oh!

PRUE

Who’s Ethan?

PANDORA

No one, Prue. What is it that you need?

Prue glances at them all.

PRUE

Oh, well, I just need you guys to help me find Melinda.

They don’t understand.

TAMORA

What’s wrong with Melinda?

PRUE

Her Astral self is missing.

They exchange glances.

PANDORA

Astral self?

PRUE

Yeah.

They all exchange glances.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD – BLACK WIZARD’S CAVE – DAY

Jannes is there sitting on his chair. He is waiting for something and seems impatient.
Aisling comes in followed by a tall and robust male demon, LARSA (looks in his 30’s). The demon wears brown clothes with a heavy black jacked.

Aisling smiles as she enters the cave. Jannes stands as Aisling turns to Larsa. Then she looks at Jannes.

AISLING

This is Larsa.

Jannes looks him up and down.

AISLING (CONT'D)

Faithful to no one.

JANNES

If he is faithful to no one how can I trust him?

Aisling turns to Larsa and signs him to speak.

LARSA

I enjoy the killing.

Larsa glares at Aisling and then looks back at Jannes.

LARSA (CONT'D)

She said you’re after the Destined Ones.

JANNES

I am.

LARSA

I’d give anything to have them in my collection.

JANNES

Your collection?

Larsa smiles.

LARSA

I am a collector.

Now Jannes is interested.

JANNES

I only heard about you. I thought you were extinct a long time ago. Back then when the first Source of All Evil was in charge.

LARSA

We are not. We act in low profile now and we are scattered all over the World.

AISLING

They are originated from the Czech Republic.

LARSA

Our head home is still there as well as our father.

AISLING

He means the king of the Collectors.

LARSA

My only payment is something of value from the person I kill.

Jannes looks at Aisling.

JANNES

You can take whatever you want from them.

LARSA

I want her heart. I want all of their hearts.

Jannes smiles and approaches to Larsa.

JANNES

Well, my friend, you’re hired.

Jannes reaches out his hand to shake Larsa’s. Larsa looks at it and then looks back at Jannes without shaking his hand.

AISLING

He can touch you.

Jannes looks at Aisling.

AISLING (CONT'D)

If he does, he’s gonna have to kill you.

Jannes pulls back his hand.

AISLING (CONT'D)

Not that he’ll be able to kill one of the eldest Wizards, but ---

JANNES

I get it.

Jannes turns to Larsa.

JANNES (CONT'D)

Melinda Halliwell. You can start with her.

Larsa nods and FLAMES out. Jannes smiles as Aisling is serious.

CUT TO:

EXT. PRESCOTT STREET – DAY

Prue comes from the Mitchells’ Manor and crosses the street towards the Halliwell Manor. Jo comes from the Cupids’ Manor and spots Prue right away. She walks fast towards Prue.

JO

Prue!

Only then, Prue notices Jo and both stop. Prue and Jo look at each other.

JO (CONT'D)

Is it true? About Melinda?

Prue nods.

PRUE

Her astral self is in control.

JO

There must be something we can do.

PRUE

We are working on that.

Prue is about to go upstairs towards the front door of the Halliwell Manor, but Jo hasn’t finished.

JO

How can I help?

Prue turns to Jo and remains silent for a couple of seconds.

PRUE

We need to find her astral self and get her to wake up.

JO

Bianca told us that she already knows she has whitelighter’s genes.

PRUE

You knew too.

Jo lowers her gaze.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Why didn’t you tell us?

Jo looks at Prue. She is serious.

JO

That was not why I came here. She had to find out for other means.

PRUE

Right.

(pauses)

Well, so far only her astral self is able to use those powers. Anything else I need to know?

Prue shoots Jo a look. A look that means ‘I know you have more to say, so say it’. Jo keeps her glare on Prue.

JO

No.

Prue smirks sarcastically.

PRUE

Right.

She turns around to leave, but once again Jo stops her.

JO

About last night ---

Prue turns around.

PRUE

Look, I get it. You are not here to bond with your parents. I get it. Let’s not dig into that matter any further.

JO

Thank you.

Prue turns around and leaves. Jo watches her for a few seconds and then walks upstairs too.

CUT TO:

EXT. CHURCH – DAY (2061 – FLASHFOWARD)

It is a rainy day. People are heading inside the church to attend a funeral.

CUT TO:

INT. CHURCH – DAY

The church is full of people. On the front seats are the older versions of: Tamora, Chris, Cassandra and Junior (from right to left). All of them wearing black clothes and a sad face.

On the back seat is Matt between two girls. The one on his right is named Peyton (21) a brunette with hazel eyes. She is wearing black clothes as well. On Matt’s left side is another brunette girl with blue eyes, also wearing black. He name is Phoenix (23).
A blond woman, Ella Davies, enters the church followed by a young blond girl (Victoria ‘Vic’, 21). Both walk down the aisle and while Ella approaches Tamora, Chris, Cassandra and Junior, Victoria goes to sit beside Peyton.

PEYTON

Nice to see you, cous.

Matt and Phoenix look at Vic. She smiles at them.

VICTORIA

It’s been a long time.

Matt and Phoenix smile at her. Chris stands and stares at Ella, surprised that she’s there.

CHRIS

You shouldn’t have come.

ELLA

She was my friend too.

CHRIS

If they know you are here ---

ELLA

We had to come, Chris.

Chris glares to Victoria at the back seat. The girl smiles at him. Then, Chris turns to Ella.

CHRIS

I know.

Chris signs Ella to sit beside him.

The casket is in the middle of the altar. It is a white casket. Jo is beside it.

ON: JO’S HAND TOUCHING THE CASKET.

Jo’s eyes are red. Tears run down her face heavily.

ON: THE PERSON INSIDE THE COFFIN. HER HAIR STILL BLONDE. THEY HAD CHOOSEN A BLUE DRESS FOR HER TO WEAR ON THE FAREWELL. A FEW WRINKLES IN HER FACE, BUT STILL THE SAME MELINDA HALLIWELL. HER EYES FOREVER CLOSED.

Jo stares at her dear Melinda on the coffin.

JO

(whispering)

I’m going to miss you so much.

Chris and Ella as well as the others look at Jo and her pain.

ELLA

(to Chris)

Is she going to be okay?

Chris looks at Ella.

CHRIS

Are we?

Ella forces a tiny smile at Chris.

ON: ELLA HOLDS CHRIS’ RIGHT HAND. CHRIS CARESSES HERS WITH HIS THUMB.

On the back seat, Phoenix glares back and something calls for her attention.

PHOENIX

I can’t believe this.

Matt looks at Phoenix and then looks at where she’s looking at.

Patience and Peri, both wearing black clothes, enter the church. Both sign a ‘hello’ to Chris and Phoenix. Then, they both sit on one of the back seats.

PHOENIX (CONT'D)

I’m going to kick their butts.

MATT

You are not going to do anything, sis. They won’t either.

PHOENIX

They are here to laugh on our pain.

MATT

He promised us a sacred day, Nix.

An ivory-dressed Wiccan Priestess walks in. The ceremony is going to begin. Tamora stands and approaches Jo. She whispers something to Jo and then both head back to the seat. Jo sits between Tamora and Chris.

WICCAN PRIESTESS

Dear beloved ones, we are gathered here today to celebrate a sister’s life.

At that moment, a woman wearing an elegant black skirt suit and a black veil that makes it impossible to see her face, comes in discreetly. She walks slowly and almost without making any sound between the left columns. She stops before a column and stands there as the Priestess continues.

WICCAN PRIESTESS (CONT'D)

In these dark times, we’ve been giving the chance to mourn our sister. A sister who fought with all she's got to turn our World into a better one.

(pauses)

She lost the battel, but we remain here. She didn’t give up on hope and so neither will we.

Patience glances on the direction of the black veil woman. She stares at her for moments, but then looks forward.

Matt lowers his gaze. And then, as if he had to, he glares back, at where the mysterious woman stands. She looks at him too. Only one think gives away her identity.

ON: MISTERIOUS WOMAN’S RIGHT HAND – A RUBY RING.

The woman and Matt stare at each other for moments. Then Matt turns around and pays attention to the Priestess.

CUT TO BLACK.

People are there on their tables. Some employees serve them. Christopher is by the counter cleaning some glasses. Tamora and Junior come in. They look around.

TAMORA

I’m telling you, she’s been waiting for him to come for a long time.

JUNIOR

But we have this situation between hands.

TAMORA

Melinda wouldn’t want Pan to forget her date because of her astral butt. There’s your father.

Tamora glares at Christopher and both head towards there. Christopher is surprised.

CHRISTOPHER

Look who’s here!

TAMORA

Hi, Christopher.

CHRISTOPHER

Tamora.

JUNIOR

Hey.

TAMORA

Dad, hey dad!

Junior shoots Tamora a look.

JUNIOR

(to Christopher)

Have you seen Mel?

CHRISTOPHER

She hasn’t come here today. Why?

TAMORA

Well, we are kinda looking for her. Would you tell us if she comes here?

CHRISTOPHER

Of course.

JUNIOR

Just don’t tell her we are looking for her.

CHRISTOPHER

Noted.

JUNIOR

(to Tamora)

We should get going.

Tamora rolls her eyes. Then she looks at Christopher.

TAMORA

Sorry for you son’s manners. We are kinda dealing with some things here.

CHRISTOPHER

No worry.

Bye, dad.

Junior walks away. Tamora and Christopher share a smile. Then Tamora heads out. Christopher smiles as he gets back to his doings.

ON: MELINDA SLEEPING ON THE COUCH.

Both Prue and Jo stare at her.

JO

She seems okay.

Prue looks at her.

PRUE

Her astral self feels free. What do you know about Melinda’s inner desires?

Jo looks at Prue.

JO

Well, I know she always loved Damon. And she always wanted to have powers like the ones the rest of her family had.

PRUE

Not her mother and mine. They are not hybrid witches.

JO

Yes, but you are. And Wyatt and Chris and everybody.

Wyatt comes in.

WYATT

She took her purse with her phone and documents in.

PRUE

Smart witch.

Piper comes in followed by Leo. She brings the Book of Shadows.

PIPER

I found the spell.

PRUE

What spell?

Chris comes in.

CHRIS

A spell Aunt Phoebe used years ago when Aunt Prue tried to screw mum’s wedding day.

PRUE

Come again!

PIPER

Something like this happened on the day Leo and I got married.

Piper glances at Leo.

LEO

Prue’s astral self took control too. She wanted to feel free of all responsibilities.

WYATT

Are we talking about the same Aunt Prue we all know?

Piper and Leo nod.

PIPER

I almost gave up the wedding.

Piper approaches Prue and hands her the book.

PIPER (CONT'D)

Want to be a good girl and cast the spell?

They all look at Prue.

CUT TO:

INT. DAMON’S APARTMENT – BEDROOM – DAY

Melinda, or well, Astral Melinda is there. She is wearing a red lingerie and is lying sexily on the bed.

SOUND: ENTRANCE DOOR CLOSING.

She smiles. Soon, Damon comes in. He stops surprised as she sees her there.

DAMON

Mel?

ASTRAL MELINDA

What took you so long?

She stands and approaches him. She puts her arms around his neck and starts kissing him. They kiss passionately.

DAMON

Mel ---

She takes off his jacket and kisses his neck. He finds it hard to stop.

DAMON (CONT'D)

--- Wyatt called.

ASTRAL MELINDA

Don’t talk about my brother. Not now.

DAMON

But ---

She shuts him with kisses. She takes off his tie and unbuttons his shirt. Damon touches her and she touches him very passionately, and then ---

ASTRAL MELINDA

Oh no.

Astral Melinda’s eyes wide open. She pulls back.

ASTRAL MELINDA (CONT'D)

Stupid witch, she is trying to take me there.

Damon doesn’t understand.

ASTRAL MELINDA (CONT'D)

I don’t want to go.

DAMON

Mel, what’s going on?

ASTRAL MELINDA

Prue is trying to take me back.

DAMON

(confused)

What?

ASTRAL MELINDA

(out loud)

I don’t want to go. I won’t go!

And it stops. She stops feeling the source pulling her back. Astral Melinda smiles.

ASTRAL MELINDA (CONT'D)

Who’s powerful now, huh?!

Damon is so confused.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – DAY

Prue closes the Book of Shadows. They all stare at her. Melinda is still asleep on the couch.

WYATT

So?

Prue nods.

PRUE

I felt that it was working.

CHRIS

Then why isn’t Astral Melinda here?

PRUE

No idea.

LEO

It worked with Prue.

JO

I know why.

They all look at Jo.

JO (CONT'D)

Astral Melinda has powers on her own. It’s not like Aunt Prue.

Jo looks at Prue, Wyatt, and Chris.

JO (CONT'D)

I mean, your Aunt Prue.

PIPER

It’s true. Prue tried, but she wasn’t able to use powers while on astral mode.

JO

This makes Astral Melinda more powerful.

CHRIS

(sarcastic)

That's exactly what we needed right now.

Prue approaches Jo.

PRUE

How do I bring her back?

JO

I don’t know.

Both stare at one another.

CUT TO:

INT. DAMON’S APARTMENT – BEDROOM – DAY

Both Damon and Astral Melinda are still there. Damon still looks confused.

DAMON

Mel, what the hell just happened?

ASTRAL MELINDA

Nothing. Everything is fine.

Astral Melinda approaches Damon and starts kissing him again, but this time, Damon pulls her back.

DAMON

Stop.

Astral Melinda shoots him a look.

ASTRAL MELINDA

What are you doing?

DAMON

I just want to know what the hell is going on. Why is Wyatt desperately looking for you?

Astral Melinda doesn’t like Damon’s attitude. She takes her clothes and bag.

ASTRAL MELINDA

You know what? When you’re ready to have fun, give me a call.

She walks out the room. Damon is more confused than ever.

CUT TO:

EXT. CHURCH – DAY (2061 – FLASHFORWARD)

The rain has stopped.

People start heading out of the church. Matt comes out quickly and looks around. He’s trying to find someone.

And he does. Next to a tree, almost hiding, the mysterious woman with the black veil stands. Matt looks at her and walks quickly towards her. Once they are face to face, she takes off the veil.

BEAT. A little bit older, but the same old Prue Halliwell is there. Matt smiles.

MATT

Aunt Prue.

PRUE

My dear, boy.

Matt hugs her as a tear runs down Prue’s face.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I’m so sorry, I couldn’t do anything to stop it.

MATT

It’s not your fault.

They break the hug.

PRUE

She was my best friend.

MATT

She never stopped believing.

Prue forces a tiny smile.

PRUE

How is my daughter?

MATT

She’s devastated. She has lost another mother.

More tears run down Prue’s face.

MATT (CONT'D)

She believes that the only solution is for her to join ---

PRUE

No!

Prue holds Matt hands between hers.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Please, Matt, promise me that no matter what you won’t let her.

MATT

I won’t. I promise.

PRUE

I will find a way to fix this.

MATT

What way?

PRUE

I still don’t know, but I will.

People keep coming from inside the church. The twins Patience and Peri come out. They walk down the stairs and Peri spots Matt and Prue.

PERI

Look who’s here.

Patience follows Peri glare and sees Matt and Prue.

PERI (CONT'D)

What is she doing here?

PATIENCE

It was her best friend.

PERI

Oh, c’mon.

They stare at them.

PERI (CONT'D)

Should we tell him?

PATIENCE

No.

PERI

He will be mad.

PATIENCE

That’s why we won’t tell him, Peri.

PERI

What if he finds out?

Patience looks at her sister.

PATIENCE

If we don’t tell him, he won’t find out.

Peri stares at her sister.

PATIENCE (CONT'D)

Let’s go.

The twins walk away. Matt and Prue are still talking.

PRUE

I need to go now before anyone notices me here.

MATT

Aunt Prue ---

Prue touches Matt’s face.

PRUE

Everything is going to be okay. If it is the last thing I do.

MATT

Nothing will bring those we lost back.

PRUE

I’ll do everything to fix this.

They hug one last time.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Take care of my sweet girl, Matt.

MATT

I will, Aunt Prue.

They break the hug. Prue puts the black veil on and walks away.

MATT (CONT'D)

I really hope you find a solution, Aunt Prue.

Then he turns around and walks inside the church. Suddenly, a heavy rain falls from heaven again.

Do I know you?

Liam is about to answer, but Bianca stops him.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

Oh, right. You are selling something, right? Well, we are not interested. Actually, that's a not so common profession nowadays.

Liam isn’t able to explain himself.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

But anyway, we are not interested.

Chris comes from the living room.

CHRIS

B, who is it?

LIAM

I’m Liam.

And now Bianca knows he’s not a seller.

BIANCA

Oh!

Chris approaches them.

CHRIS

Liam as in Liam?

Liam shoots him a look.

LIAM

Look, I was just looking for Mel. She’s not taking my calls and I’m getting worried.

CHRIS

Right.

(out loud)

Wyatt!

Soon, Wyatt comes from the living room.

WYATT

What is it?

Chris and Bianca look at Wyatt.

CHRIS

Melinda’s boyfriend is here.

Wyatt looks at Liam.

WYATT

Oh!

CHRIS

Yeah, what a surprise, huh?

LIAM

Is she home?

Wyatt, Chris, and Bianca don’t know what to do.

WYATT

Well, she ---

Wyatt walks towards them.

WYATT (CONT'D)

She is ---

(swallows)

You know, mum and dad are in town and she’s spending time with them.

LIAM

I didn’t know. I was just worried. That’s all.

WYATT

Yeah.

LIAM

Can you ask her to call me as soon as possible, please?

CHRIS

Sure, we will.

Liam smiles at them.

LIAM

Funny way to meet her brothers.

CHRIS

Be glad is not her dad.

Liam smiles, but soon the smile disappears from his face. Then he signs goodbye and turns around to leave. Bianca closes the door.

BIANCA

So, that was Liam.

They exchange glances.

WYATT

(to Chris)

We should better work on that spell.

CHRIS

Yeah, we can create a stronger version.

BIANCA

I’ll take the Book of Shadows and join you in the attic.

Bianca heads inside the living room as Wyatt and Chris head upstairs.

Bianca nods.

BIANCA

I’ll help the guys with the spell.

No one says anything. Bianca and Prue exchange glances. Prue nods. Bianca heads out. Jo glances at them.

JO

Why don’t I make tea for everybody?

PIPER

(shaking her head)

I want to be with her.

Prue and Jo exchange glances. Then, Prue approaches Piper.

PRUE

Aunt Piper, go.

Piper looks at Prue.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I’ll stay here.

Piper looks at Melinda then, agrees. Prue helps her stand. Then Jo approaches Piper and takes her hand.

JO

I’ll prepare the best tea you’ll ever taste.

PIPER

That’s not true. I make the best tea.

JO

Believe me, you’ll love it. My grandma taught me.

Jo walks out with Piper. Leo stands.

LEO

I want to taste that tea too.

Prue smiles at him and nods. Leo walks out of the living room as well. Prue turns to a sleepy Melinda.

He puts a hand on her neck and on the other hand SUMMONS an athame. He approaches the athame to her waist when ---

Prue stops as the demon turns to face her.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Prue WAVES her hand throwing LARSA against the sitting room. Larsa hits the center table. Prue heads inside the sitting room. Larsa stands.

LARSA

I came for hers, but I can have yours.

Larsa reaches out his hand and using TELEKINESIS, throws Prue against a wall. Prue tries to stand. She touches her belly.

PRUE

My baby.

Larsa walks towards her. Prue looks at him and right away, she WAVES her hand again and THROWS Larsa against the grandfather clock.

Soon, Jo comes into the sitting room. She looks at the demon and then at Prue on the floor. She runs towards Prue. Larsa tries to stand.

JO

Are you okay?

Go!

Jo does as she’s been told. Prue stands and so does Larsa. At that moment, Wyatt comes downstairs running and stops behind Larsa.

LARSA

(to Prue)

I won’t leave without a heart.

Larsa reaches out his hand and Prue feels a strong pain in her chest. She takes her hand to her chest. It’s like her heart is being ripped out.

Wyatt looks at Prue in pain. Then Wyatt reaches out his hand and the Demon himself takes his own hand towards his chest releasing Prue. Wyatt is CRUSHING Larsa’s heart.

PRUE (CONT'D)

He said that he came for hers, but mine would be fine.

WYATT

He tried to crush Prue’s heart.

PRUE

He tried to rip it out.

They all look to Prue.

PRUE (CONT'D)

He wanted her heart.

PRUE (CONT'D)

It was a plan B. If it wasn’t for Christina ---

(touches her belly)

--- I felt her fighting it inside of me.

JO

A Collector.

They all look at Jo.

JO (CONT'D)

A group of demons from the Czech Republic. They are very popular in my time. Before, they kept a low profile, but they’ve become very popular. They used to be loyal to no one, but in the future, they’ll make a deal with the evil side.

CHRIS

How do we vanquish him?

JO

No one knows.

SOUND: DOORBELL.

BIANCA

He cuts himself off as he sees everybody there. And Melinda on the couch.

DAMON (CONT'D)

--- Melinda. Why is she sleeping?

PRUE

Oh, boy!

DAMON

Why is she sleeping?

Damon glances at them all waiting for an answer.

CHRIS

Because her astral self is somewhere out of her body.

DAMON

(astonished)

What? She was at my apartment a couple of hours ago.

LEO

(surprised)

She was?

PRUE

Oh, boy.

DAMON

Yes, she was. What’s going on?

They all stare at one another. Prue stands.

OK, I’m sorry to be precisely me who brings this new out for you, but honey ---

Prue approaches Damon and gives him a sad look.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Damon is shocked.

DAMON

What?

Prue nods.

PRUE

All this time, you’ve been sleeping with Astral Melinda.

CHRIS

Prue!

PRUE

Oh, what?

Chris looks at Piper and Leo. Prue notices it.

PRUE (CONT'D)

How do you think you came to this world, Chris? Besides, they’ve been through similar drama.

JO

(staring at Chris)

Just Prue being Prue.

DAMON

Wait, you’re telling me ---

WYATT

Yes, Damon. My sister’s astral self has been sneaking out and ---

Wyatt is unable to finish the sentence. Damon is astonished. He sits on the couch. Bianca pats his shoulder.

BIANCA

Oh, sweetie! Do you want me to bring you some tea?

Damon nods no.

LEO

We need to bring Melinda back.

JO

How is that spell going?

CHRIS

No good actually.

PRUE

The only way to bring astral Melinda back into Melinda’s body is waking up Melinda.

CHRIS

(sarcastic)

Great, genius! And how do we do that?

Prue looks at Melinda on the couch.

ON: MELINDA’S FACE. She sleeps as if nothing is happening.

Prue turns to her.

PRUE

I just have to try to astral project myself and speak to her conscience. 

They all look at Prue.

Using what you know about astral premonitions. It might actually work.

It will.

Tamora tries to make herself heard, but the music is so loud.

JUNIOR

(out loud)

I don’t know. Maybe they found Mel.

The club is crowded with people. Someone is singing on the stage, but they can’t see who it is because people have their hands in the air enjoying the music. Soon, Charlotte and Cassandra approach Tamora and Junior.

TAMORA

Hey, guys. I didn’t know there was a big star coming to P3 tonight.

CHARLOTTE

What?

CASSANDRA

It is not a big star.

They speak as loud as they can to make themselves heard.

JUNIOR

What’s going on here then?

CASSANDRA

Oh, you’ll see.

Cassandra looks at the stage. Tamora and Junior try to see who is singing and ---

I already told you to call me Christopher.

PANDORA

I know, but I can’t get used to it.

Pandora glares at Ethan and then looks at Christopher.

I just got a text from Tam. She was at P3.

CHRISTOPHER

I’m glad.

Pandora smiles.

PANDORA

Enjoy your dinner.

Christopher turns around and leaves.

That’s my cousin’s Prue club. Actually, it belongs to her and his husband, but she’s the big boss.

ETHAN

That’s your pregnant cousin, right?

Pandora smiles and has a sip of her wine.

PANDORA

Yeah.

ETHAN

I feel like I already know your family.

PANDORA

Yeah, we really had long conversations on the phone, huh?

PANDORA

That’s what I want.

Ethan takes Pandora’s hand and kisses it while Pandora looks at him.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT

They all stand. Prue approaches Melinda and sits beside her sleepy cousin. Prue takes a deep breath.

WYATT

Are you sure you can do this, Love? I know you have astral premonitions, but ---

Prue looks at Wyatt and smiles.

PRUE

(caressing her belly)

She’ll help me.

Jo looks fondly at Prue as she says that. Leo pats Jo’s shoulder. No one notices it. Jo smiles at Leo as he gives her a fond smile.

Prue holds Melinda’s hand with her left hand and touches Melinda’s temples with the other. She takes a deep breath. Prue closes her eyes. Piper, Leo, Wyatt, Chris, Bianca, Jo, and Damon look at them.

FLASHES TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM / SITTING ROOM / CONSERVATORY ROOM (INSIDE MELINDA’S CONSCIENCE)

The room looks darker. Melinda is lying on the couch. Her eyes closed. It’s like she’s sleeping.

CHRISTINA (O.S.)

Aunt Mel!

Melinda opens her eyes. She gets to a sitting position. She looks around. She seems confused.

CHRISTINA (O.S.) (CONT'D)

Aunt Mel!

Melinda stands and walks towards the sitting room. No one there.

CHRISTINA (O.S.) (CONT'D)

I’m here, Aunt Melinda!

Melinda heads into the Conservatory Room and ---

BEAT. Standing there is a beautiful young blond girl. Christina looks no older than eleven. She has long blond hair and sweet blue eyes.

Christina smiles big.

CHRISTINA (CONT'D)

Aunt Mel, what are you doing here?

MELINDA

Who ---

Melinda is confused.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Who are you?

CHRISTINA

Don’t be silly. I’m your niece.

MELINDA

Christina?

The little girl smiles.

CHRISTINA

They are worried about you, you know?

MELINDA

They lied to me, sweetie.

CHRISTINA

Are you going to be mad because of that?

Melinda approaches Christina and lowers down on her knee.

CHRISTINA (CONT'D)

That’s not who you are. You are a sweet person and the best auntie ever. You can be mad at grandma and grandpa for a little while but then get over it. They hid that secret because they love you.

MELINDA

A lie is a lie.

CHRISTINA

Before you judge the liars try to understand what reasons took them to do that.

Melinda smiles.

MELINDA

You are so smart already.

Christina smiles.

CHRISTINA

You have to go back. She is taking a life of her own.

Melinda lowers her gaze.

MELINDA

My astral self.

CHRISTINA

You two together are better than separated. You two are Melinda.

Melinda smiles and hugs Christina.

MELINDA

I can’t wait to meet you, honey.

CHRISTINA

You already have. You just don’t know it yet.

They look at each other. Melinda caresses fondly Christina’s face.

FLASHES BACK TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT

ON MELINDA’S EYES: they open widely. They all look at it. Prue stares at Melinda. Melinda looks around at the people who stare at her.

MELINDA

You guys have these faces!

Prue helps her to sit.

PRUE

Are you okay?

Melinda nods.

CHRIS

More important. Is your astral self back?

Melinda looks at Chris.

MELINDA

No, she is ---

Melinda looks at them.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

--- Actually, I don’t know where she is.

Her eyes lie on Damon. His has a disappointed look on his face and Melinda knows why.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Damon ---

DAMON

We’ll talk about it later. We should focus on finding your astral self.

At that moment, a phone rings. They all look at one another.

PRUE

That’s my ringtone, but I don’t remember where my phone is.

They all look around. Wyatt finds Prue’s phone on the couch. He picks it up.

WYATT

(on the phone)

Tam?

He listens. They all look at him.

WYATT (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

Just try to bring her home safe.

Wyatt hangs off the phone.

WYATT (CONT'D)

She is at P3.

PRUE

Doing what?

Wyatt and Prue stare at each other.

WYATT

You don’t really want to know.

Melinda feels frustrated and puts her head between her hands.

CUT TO:

INT. P3 – DANCE FLOOR / STAGE / BAR – NIGHT

The club is still crowded. People cheer at Astral Melinda who is now singing and dancing on top of the counter. Dancing in a sexy way on the counter. The music she’s singing: ‘Can’t Fight the Moonlight’.

ASTRAL MELINDA

(singing and dancing)

‘You can try to resist

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know

But you know that you can’t fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark

You’ll surrender your heart

But you know

But you know that you can’t fight the moonlight

No, you can’t fight it

It’s gonna get to your heart.’

Tamora, Junior, Charlotte, and Cassandra are astonished. Still, Tamora holds her cell phone. She is recording the whole thing.

JUNIOR

(to Tamora)

You’re going to use it against her someday, aren’t you?

TAMORA

(smirks)

You have no idea.

CHARLOTTE

Who could imagine that sweet Melinda had it in there, huh?!

CASSANDRA

Astral Melinda anyway.

CHARLOTTE

Still Melinda.

JUNIOR

Isn’t that song from a movie?

Astral Melinda keeps singing and dancing. The men are the bar cheer with every move she takes.

ASTRAL MELINDA

(singing and dancing)

‘You can try to resist

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know

But you know that you can’t fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark

You’ll surrender your heart

But you know

But you know that you can’t fight the moonlight

No, you can’t fight it

It’s gonna get to your heart.’

CHARLOTTE

Yeah, I believe our mothers were fans of that movie.

JUNIOR

OK, guys, that’s enough. We need to take Coyote Melinda out of here.

Tamora grimaces and stops recording. They head to the bar. On a corner watching it all is Larsa.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT FOUR

[Prue Brianna Johnna Halliwell]

ACT FIVE

FADE IN:

INT. P3 – PRUE’S OFFICE – NIGHT

The door opens and Charlotte and Junior bring Astral Melinda, each holding one of her arms. Astral Melinda fights it. Tamora and Cassandra come in. Cassandra closes the door behind her.

ASTRAL MELINDA

Just let go of me.

Junior and Charlotte let go of her. She gives them a furious look.

JUNIOR

Don’t you think is time for you to stop this performance.

ASTRAL MELINDA

What do you want?

TAMORA

(mad)

What do we want?! Are you joking?

ASTRAL MELINDA

I’m not joking. I was actually having fun which is something she never knew how to.

CHARLOTTE

Melinda knows how to have fun. She doesn’t need her astral self to have some fun for her.

Astral Melinda laughs sarcastically.

TAMORA

What’s so funny?

ASTRAL MELINDA

Melinda never knew how to have real fun. She was all responsibilities. And lately, she’s been worse. Always in charge of everything because her sisters-in-law are pregnant. Taking care of them so they can have some peaceful nine months.

Astral Melinda is furious.

ASTRAL MELINDA (CONT'D)

And what about her? What about what she feels? She is a coward.

They all exchange glances.

ASTRAL MELINDA (CONT'D)

She tries to hide what she really feels inside out of fear.

CASSANDRA

Melinda is not a coward.

ASTRAL MELINDA

(smiles sarcastically)

Of course, she is. Why do you think it has been me sleeping with Damon instead of her?

CHARLOTTE

Wait, what?

They are astonished. Astral Melinda smiles.

ASTRAL MELINDA

That’s right. Sweet Melinda loves Liam, yes, she does. But that’s nothing like Damon. But she is coward to admit that she does. Coward to admit the big mistake she made. And I’m tired of that.

TAMORA

That doesn’t give you the right to take over her life.

ASTRAL MELINDA

Yes, it does. Because like I said, I’m tired of the miserable life she lives.

(smiles)

And now that I found out that I have powers of my own ---

(stares at them)

--- I intend to do what she can’t.

At that moment, the door flies open. Tamora, Junior, Charlotte, and Cassandra turn around. Larsa stands there.

LARSA

I guess five is better than one.

They all exchange glances.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT

Melinda stands. She seems desperate.

MELINDA

I can’t.

She looks at the others. Piper, Leo, Wyatt, Prue, Chris, Bianca, Jo, and Damon are still there.

PIPER

(approaches her)

Honey, you need to focus.

MELINDA

(rude)

I can’t, mum.

Piper holds her daughter’s hand, but Melinda takes them back. Piper hurts. She lowers her gaze. Melinda notices it.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Sorry, I ---

PIPER

No, honey. It’s us who need to ask for your forgiveness.

DAMON

Am I missing something?

Melinda looks at Damon.

DAMON (CONT'D)

I mean, besides the fact that I’ve been ---

(looks at Piper and Leo, then at Melinda)

--- You know what with your astral self.

MELINDA

I’m so sorry for that, Damon. I didn’t know. I thought I was ---

PRUE

(cuts her off)

Dreaming.

Wyatt shoots Prue a look. Prue shrugs.

MELINDA

That.

JO

I think it’s not the time.

Jo approaches Melinda and holds her hands. They both look each other in the eyes.

JO (CONT'D)

You need to focus. You are stronger than that. You can do it. You can forgive and you can bring back your astral self. You are capable of that. Believe me, I know you can.

Melinda’s eyes get wet. She smiles. Jo smiles. Then Melinda looks at Prue and smiles. Prue doesn’t understand why though. Then Prue takes her hands to her belly. The baby just kicked. Prue smiles.

Melinda closes her eyes still holding Jo’s hands.

CUT TO:

INT. P3 – PRUE’S OFFICE – NIGHT

Tamora, Junior, Charlotte, Cassandra and Astral Melinda are on the floor. They were beaten by Larsa. Larsa holds on his hand and they all start feeling a strong pain in their chest.

LARSA

(smirks)

Your hearts will look good in my collection.

They all hold their chests in pain. Even Astral Melinda.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT

Melinda holds her chest in pain. They don’t understand what’s going on. Piper and Leo approach her and help her get on the couch. Jo looks at Prue, Wyatt, and Chris.

JO

The demon.

CHRIS

It must be at P3.

WYATT

Let’s go.

Wyatt and Chris ORB out.

DAMON

What demon?

He needs to know nothing more. Damon can see a worried look on Prue, Bianca and Jo’s face. He SHIMMERS out. Melinda is still in pain on the floor. Prue approaches her and kneels before her.

PRUE

Hold on.

Prue holds Melinda’s hand.

CUT TO:

INT. P3 – PRUE’S OFFICE – NIGHT

They are still on the floor holding their chests in pain. Astral Melinda looks at Larsa. Then, a pink flash surrounds Astral Melinda and she disappears. Larsa can’t believe it but keeps hurting the others.

Wyatt and Chris ORB in behind Larsa. Damon SHIMMERS in. They look at Larsa. Wyatt holds on his hand and starts using CRUSHING against the demon. Larsa holds his chest and breaks the connection with Tamora, Junior, Charlotte, and Cassandra. They pass out on the floor.

Larsa tries to fight the pain. He turns around and faces Wyatt, Chris, and Damon.

LARSA

I rip hearts out.

(in pain)

Don’t you think I would protect mine?

Both Larsa and Wyatt stare at one another.

LARSA (CONT'D)

We’ll meet again.

And just like that Larsa FLAMES out. Damon approaches Tamora on the floor and takes her pulse.

DAMON

She’s alive.

Wyatt and Chris approach them.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT

ON: A PINK FLASH APPEARS BRINGING ASTRAL MELINDA.

Melinda starts breathing normally again. They all look at Astral Melinda as she looks them back. Melinda stands looking at her astral self. Astral Melinda looks at Piper and Leo then at Melinda.

MELINDA

(to Astral Melinda)

It’s time for you to get back.

ASTRAL MELINDA

(smiles sarcastic)

To be weak again?

MELINDA

No. To work things together.

ASTRAL MELINDA

You hide your feelings.

MELINDA

True. Let’s work on that. Baby steps.

Astral Melinda’s eyes get wet.

ASTRAL MELINDA

You need to talk to him.

MELINDA

I know.

Astral Melinda is surrounded by a pink flash and disappears again. Melinda closes her eyes and Astral Melinda is back on Melinda’s body. Melinda opens her eyes and looks at them. She takes a deep breath. She looks at Piper and Leo.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

I believe we need to talk.

Piper and Leo nod. Prue, Bianca and Jo smile.

MUSIC FADES OFF.

Prue is at the door that leads towards the living room. The door is closed but through the glass, Prue can see Piper and Leo hugging Melinda. Prue smiles. Jo approaches her.

JO

You okay?

Prue looks at Jo and smiles at her.

PRUE

I am.

Jo looks through the glass and sees Piper, Leo, and Melinda hugging.

JO

They are going to be okay.

PRUE

I know.

They look at the others. There are Wyatt, Chris, Bianca, Junior, Tamora, Pandora, Charlotte, Cassandra, and Damon.

PANDORA

I can’t believe all this happened and I was on a date.

TAMORA

Don’t worry, sis, we are fine. How was your date?

Pandora starts telling them. Wyatt approaches Damon.

WYATT

Are you okay?

Damon seems lost.

DAMON

Do I look okay?

They stare at each other.

DAMON (CONT'D)

I don’t know what to think, Wyatt.

Wyatt pats his friend shoulder and gives him a sympathetic look. Chris has an arm over Bianca.

CHRIS

Guys, we are going home. Bianca is tired.

BIANCA

The baby and I need to rest.

JO

You should. He is going to be strong, but he loves to sleep a lot.

Chris and Bianca and the rest of them look at Jo. She realizes what she said.

JO (CONT'D)

I mean, not in his adult life. He is very responsible, but when a kid ---

Jo smiles as she remembers.

JO (CONT'D)

--- It was just hard to take him out of bed.

CHRIS

How do you know that?

Jo smiles.

JO

I just do.

Junior and Prue exchange glances.

JUNIOR

I think we all should go get some rest.

TAMORA

Oh, I won’t rest. I’ll spend the night watching Melinda’s performance.

PANDORA

You recorded it?!

CASSANDRA

You have to make me a copy of that video, you know?

CHARLOTTE

Two.

They laugh. Then, the twins and Junior head out. Chris ORBS out taking Bianca. Charlotte and Cassandra head out as well.

CASSANDRA

See you tomorrow, guys.

And then, there’s just Prue, Wyatt, Damon and Jo. Melinda, Piper, and Leo come in.

PIPER

Where’s everybody?

WYATT

They left already.

JO

I must get going too.

Melinda approaches Jo and hugs her out of a sudden. They all look at them. Jo is surprised.

MELINDA

Thank you.

Melinda smiles at a confused Jo.

JO

You’re welcome?! I guess.

They break the hug. Jo glares at them all and the leaves the room. Then Melinda looks at Damon. He is serious.

MELINDA

I guess we ---

DAMON

(cuts her off)

Not now.

Damon SHIMMERS out. Melinda lowers her gaze.

WYATT

(to Prue)

Honey, you should go to bed too.

PRUE

I need to have a world with Melinda first.

Wyatt nods.

LEO

Well, we are going to bed as well.

Leo puts an arm over Piper’s shoulder and both walk out the conservatory room, followed by Wyatt. Melinda looks at Prue.

Prue approaches Melinda and holds her hands.

PRUE

I’m sorry I was so hard on you. I didn’t know you were feeling that way.

MELINDA

How could you? You have a little one to worry about now.

Melinda touches Prue’s belly.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

She’s beautiful.

Melinda smiles.

PRUE

You saw her, didn’t you? It was her who woke you up.

Melinda nods.

PRUE (CONT'D)

You’re lucky. I just heard what she said to you, but I couldn’t have a look at her. It was blurry.

MELINDA

She’s going to be a lot like you. Believe me. Not her looks but her heart.

Prue smiles. Both hold each other hands and smile.

FLASHES TO:

INT. MAUSOLEUM – NIGHT (2061 - FLASHFORWARD)

‘MELINDA HALLIWELL’

2007 – 2061

‘The Heart of the Family’

Prue approaches Melinda’s plaque and touches it. She is still wearing black. Tears run down her face.

PRUE

I’m so sorry, Mel. I’m so sorry I couldn’t save you. I’m so sorry this world is a mess.

She cries hard.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I promise you that I will find a way to undo this whole mess.

Prue closes her eyes and cries. Then she opens it and looks at the plaque.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Thank you for taking care of my daughter. You were the mother I never was. The mother she needed. And I’m very thankful for that. Thank you.

Prue cries more. Then, she stops. She feels something.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I need to go. Someone is coming.

Prue walks out of there fast. As soon as Prue leaves, Pierce SHIMMERS in. He looks at Melinda’s plaque and walks towards it.

PIERCE

Hi, mum.

He is serious. Almost feelingless.

PIERCE (CONT'D)

If you just had ---

And then, a tear runs down his face. He is holding back his emotions.

PIERCE (CONT'D)

You just had to join us. You could be alive now.

RAGE. That’s what he feels.

PIERCE (CONT'D)

But you didn’t. You choose to fight this battle that has been lost for a long time.

More tears run down his face.

PIERCE (CONT'D)

This time good cannot win. Don’t you know who runs this world? It’s ruled by the most powerful beings. You should have surrender and everything could have been different. You, dad and I ---

(smirks)

--- We could have been together.

Pierce wipes his tears.

PIERCE (CONT'D)

I will never forgive you for that, mum. Never.

He stares one last time to the plaque and then SHIMMERS out.

ON: JANNES’ FACE. He is mad.

There are Larsa and Aisling. Jannes looks at the Oracle.

JANNES

You said this would work.

AISLING

I never said that. On the contrary. I always said that you should ask for an alliance with them. Not to fight them.

JANNES

They are the means to achieve my revenge.

AISLING

Exactly. But getting rid of them won’t get you there.

JANNES

She needs them. Only getting rid of them would stop her.

AISLING

Perhaps. But they are the Destined Ones, Jannes. Don’t you think that if it was easy to get rid of them someone would have done it already?

LARSA

My Lord, I can try again.

Aisling looks at Larsa.

AISLING

You will try many things in the future, Larsa. But you’ll only win when she is in power.

Jannes looks at Aisling.

AISLING (CONT'D)

Yeah, I’ve seen it.

LARSA

(to Jannes)

I won’t betray you, my Lord.

AISLING

No, you won’t. I’ve seen that too.

Jannes stares at Aisling.

AISLING (CONT'D)

Then, what? Are you going to keep trying to kill them or are you going to ask for an alliance?

Jannes and Aisling stare seriously at each other.

Jannes has hired a Collector.

RUBY

Smart son of a bitch.

How close was he?

JORDAN

Very. He almost ripped Prue’s heart.

Ruby gets serious.

RUBY

He cannot touch her. She is my golden coin.

JORDAN

Yeah, well. Thank her unborn child who made it hard for him to.

RUBY

He is pissing me off.

Ruby sits on her chair.

RUBY (CONT'D)

I have to think, Jordan.

Jordan nods.

DAMON

How did you ---?

She shows him a key.

MELINDA

I wish I could tell you that I orbed in, but that’s a power I can access only in my astral mode.

DAMON

Your key?

MELINDA

I guess I never gave it back to you.

Melinda puts the key on the coffee table.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

I know you don’t want to talk to me right now, but I need to talk to you. I need you to know why. I just hope that after what I’m about to tell you, you can forgive me, even if you don’t want to see me again.

DAMON

The reason why you broke up with me.

Melinda nods. Damon signs her to sit.

The camera moves away slowly through the glass window as Melinda sits on the couch and Damon sits beside her. They start to talk as slowly the image gets darker and ---
