BEAT. Paige, Henry and Christopher are there sitting at the dining table. In the center of the table is a chandelier with three candles lit. Four plates are settle.
Paige, Henry and Christopher stare at Junior who seems unhappy with the vision ahead.

JUNIOR

What is this supposed to mean?

HENRY

Did you say that three of us can’t stay in the same room at the same time?

(pauses)

Then, here we are. The three of us in the same room at the same time.

PAIGE

We are waiting for you to have dinner with us.

Junior has a look at his wristwatch.

JUNIOR

It’s past midnight.

PAIGE

It’s never too late to have dinner with your family, isn’t it?

JUNIOR

I think I’ll head to bed.

Junior turns to leave, but Paige stands.

PAIGE

(serious)

Don’t!

Junior turns around and looks at his mother.

JUNIOR

Mum, I really don’t want to do this.

PAIGE

It is hard for me, OK?

Paige looks at Christopher.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

I am afraid.

(looks at Junior)

I was afraid that he could take you from us.

(looks at Christopher)

But we have talked.

Paige approaches Junior.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

There’s one thing we have in common apart from you.

Junior lowers his gaze.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

And that is our worries about you.

Junior stares at Paige.

JUNIOR

I don’t need you to be worried about me.

(look at his fathers)

I don’t need any of you to be worried about me.

CHRISTOPHER

You are asking for something impossible for us.

HENRY

We just want to have a moment with you, son. Like a family. No lectures. Not bad mood. Just the three of us with the thing we have in common.

Paige takes Junior’s hand.

PAIGE

Please, dear.

(begging)

Don’t push us away.

Junior and Paige stare at each other. In her eyes is clear the love she has for her son.

JUNIOR

Mum ---

Paige keeps her eyes on Junior. Junior sighs.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

No lectures?

Paige nods no.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

Then, fine.

Paige smiles.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

I’ll stay.

Paige drags Junior towards the table and signs him to sit next to her.

PAIGE

(to Junior)

Did you know that Christopher has a great ability to cook?

Junior looks at Christopher.

HENRY

He and I happen to have the same taste about food.

CHRISTOPHER

And wine.

Henry and Christopher smile and take their glasses of wine. Henry and Christopher toast. Paige and Junior sit. Paige pours some wine into Junior’s glass.

PAIGE

Let’s join the toast.

Piper comes from the kitchen holding a tray. Phoebe comes following her. Phoebe seems extremely happy.

PHOEBE

Can you believe it?

Piper rolls her eyes.

PHOEBE (CONT'D)

We are going to be grandmammas at the same time.

PIPER

Grandmammas?

Piper puts the tray on the table.

PHOEBE

That’s how they’ll call us.

PIPER

How do you know that?

PHOEBE

Oh, I don’t, but I’ll teach them that way.

PIPER

Phoebe!

Phoebe keeps smiling big.

PHOEBE

Oh, it is so great to be a grandma!

Piper rolls her eyes.

PIPER

It means you’re getting old, Phoebe.

PHOEBE

I’ve overcome that part already, Piper.

Piper shoots her a look.

PIPER

Seriously?

Phoebe nods yes enthusiastically.

PHOEBE

Aren’t you as excited?

PIPER

Of course, I am. I’m just tired of your enthusiasm.

PHOEBE

Oh, Piper.

Both sisters stare at each other. Phoebe keeps smiling at Piper with a funny face. Piper tries to hold a serious face, but soon she gives in. Piper smiles.

PIPER

I actually have to confess that I’ve made shopping for both my grandchildren and my daughters-in-law.

Now Phoebe is surprised.

PHOEBE

Are you serious?

Piper nods.

PHOEBE (CONT'D)

Oh, I can’t believe we are going to be grandmothers at the same time.

PIPER

Believe it because we are. Now, help me.

On the table are some dishes. Piper and Phoebe start settling the table.

PIPER (CONT'D)

Anyway, how are you feeling with an estrange living in your home?

PHOEBE

Oh, I haven’t met her yet.

PIPER

(surprised)

You haven’t, why?

PHOEBE

Oh, well, I arrived from Japan a couple of days ago and haven’t spent much time at home.

PIPER

How was it there, anyway?

PHOEBE

Oh, good. My book will be translated to Japanese soon.

PIPER

Thanks to your big boss/ex-boyfriend’s connection.

PHOEBE

Oh, shut up, Piper. It’s been a long time.

They start placing some glasses on the table. Piper smiles.

PIPER

Now back to that girl. I don’t know if I believe her. The whole coming from the future thing.

PHOEBE

It has happened before.

PIPER

Exactly. She could be someone taking advantage on our past.

PHOEBE

Or she could be a relative trying to save the world.

PIPER

I stick with my idea. I can’t wait to meet her and look at her eyes.

Something pops into Piper’s mind.

PIPER (CONT'D)

Maybe you can have a vision.

PHOEBE

I’ll try.

At that moment, the front door opens. Prue comes in. Piper and Phoebe see her coming in. Phoebe walks towards her.

PHOEBE (CONT'D)

Here’s the most beautiful mum-to-be.

Prue is surprised. Her mother hugs her tight.

PRUE

Mum! What are you doing here?

Phoebe keeps hugging Prue. Piper smiles. Prue signs Piper to help her.

PHOEBE

I couldn’t be away from my grandchild much longer.

PRUE

It hasn’t even been born.

PIPER

C’mon, Phoebe. Let her breath.

Phoebe lets go of her daughter. Phoebe starts exanimating Prue.

PHOEBE

Are you feeling OK?

(touches Prue’s face)

You seem a little pale. Have you been drinking the vitamins I told you to? Any morning sickness?

PRUE

Mum ---

PHOEBE

Have you been sleeping at least ten hours per night?

PRUE

Ten? Mum!

Phoebe glances at Piper.

PRUE (CONT'D)

What are you two doing here, anyway? Wasn’t expecting you.

Prue walks towards Piper as she meets her halfway. Prue greets Piper.

PIPER

We want to take care of the new mummies.

PRUE

Bianca knows about it?

PIPER

Paige has gone for her.

PHOEBE

Piper will stay here for a couple of days and we couldn’t miss this chance to have some grandmammas and mothers-to-be quality time.

PRUE

Come again!

Prue doesn’t seem much happier about it. ON PRUE. She screams for help deep inside.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT GROUP – CONFERENCE ROOM – DAY

The room is full of journalists and photographers. Their main focus is a businessman before them. The man, Julian Prescott (45) speeches to them. Next to him are some bodyguards as well as a man that is his adviser.

Among the journalists and photographers in the room are Melissa and Chris. Chris takes pictures as Melissa raises her hand trying to be picked.

JOURNALIST #1

(to Mr. Prescott)

How long did the negotiations last?

JULIAN

We’ve been thinking about entering the construction world for a while now. Osborn Constructions was going through a hard time.

JOURNALIST #2

Doesn’t it make it a big risk?

Julian smiles as if what the journalist said was a joke.

JULIAN

My dear, everything Prescott Group touches turns gold.

Some journalists laugh. Finally, Melissa gets to be picked up.

MELISSA

Melissa Cooper with Mirror’s Magazine.

(pauses)

Is it true that you are trying to buy Green Laboratories?

JULIAN

Nothing is concrete yet, Miss Cooper.

Chris takes some pictures.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

For the past 20 years, Prescott Group has acquired some companies in several fields. Medical laboratories will be new for us, but never say never, right?

Melissa records it all with her smartphone. She smiles. Another Journalist is picked.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT GROUP – RECEPTION AREA – DAY (TIME LAPSE)

Some journalists come out of the conference room. Chris and Melissa come out as well.

MELISSA

(to Chris)

He is trying to buy the whole town, that’s for sure.

CHRIS

Yeah, well, our job here is done.

MELISSA

I think we’ve got enough.

Melissa touches Chris’ shoulder.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I’m so glad that you are back, Chris. I hate to work with nerdy John.

Chris laughs.

CHRIS

It is good to be back. Anyway, wait for me here. I need to find the toilets.

Melissa nods. Chris hands her his camera and walks away. Melissa approaches the other journalist and talks to them.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT GROUP – CORRIDOR – DAY

Chris comes walking down the corridor when he sees Julian Prescott’s adviser with a suspicious look. The adviser glances around. Chris hides behind a wall so the man can’t see him. Then Chris peeks in time enough to see the man SHIMMERING out. Chris is astonished.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT GROUP – RECEPTION AREA – DAY

Chris walks fast towards Melissa and grabs her arm, dragging her away from the other journalists.

MELISSA

(surprised)

Chris, what’s going on?

CHRIS

We need to leave fast.

MELISSA

But what happened?

CHRIS

I tell you on the way.

Both walk out of there.

Melinda comes downstairs and heads the front door.

PRUE (O.S.)

Hey!

Melinda stops and heads into the living room.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – DAY

Melinda comes in and stops. She is surprised. There are, Prue, Bianca, Piper, Phoebe and Paige having an afternoon tea.

MELINDA

What’s going on, here?

PIPER

Hey, sweetie! Want to join us?

MELINDA

Join what? Your tea group?

PRUE

Yeah, Mel. Join us.

Prue sounds sarcastic.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Take a seat. Grab a cup. Enjoy the tea.

Melinda tries to pass.

MELINDA

I would love to, but I have to work.

PRUE

Yeah, me too. But appears that I took the day off.

BIANCA

I’m kinda enjoying my day off.

Prue shots Bianca a ‘seriously’ look.

MELINDA

Oh, you girls, don’t worry. Jo is at P3 taking care of everything. And I’ll join her later tonight. But don’t worry. She’s learning fast.

PHOEBE

Oh, so she never worked in a club before?

PRUE

Yeah, how about that, mum? They hired someone to work in my club that has no experience at all.

MELINDA

Oh, no. She has some but from a restaurant.

PAIGE

A restaurant from the future?

PIPER

Maybe Halliwell's?

MELINDA

I don’t know. She doesn’t open up much about the future.

PAIGE

(looks at Piper and Phoebe)

Maybe she’s one of our descendants.

PRUE

Well, if she is, she certainly doesn’t come from me. Besides, it’s clear that she has not the Halliwell gene in it.

PAIGE

Maybe she has the Matthews’.

PRUE

Maybe not even that.

Prue stands.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Look, guys, I really need to take care of my club. I don’t trust that girl to take care of my P3.

(looking at Melinda)

I’m pregnant. I’m not sick.

MELINDA

I know.

PRUE

(mad)

Then why did you hire her as if Bianca and I are now incapable of taking care of P3?

Melinda glances at all of them. Then she looks at Prue.

MELINDA

Because ---

Melinda lowers her gaze. Then she looks at Prue.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

It is my niece and nephew that you’re carrying. And that’s the best way I can think of right now of protecting them.

Prue and Bianca Exchange glances.

BIANCA

Mel, I’m sure there are other ways you can protect them.

MELINDA

I know. But for now, a normal mortal way will do.

(to Prue)

Let me take care of the club for you and Bianca, so you both can have a peaceful pregnancy.

Prue looks at Bianca and then at her mother and aunts. She takes a deep breath. Then, she looks at Melinda.

PRUE

Only if you promise we can work a few days per week.

Melinda smiles.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Oh, and that you will watch that girl, Jo, very closely.

MELINDA

I promise.

Melinda turns to leave but stops. She faces them.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

But I think you should trust her, Prue.

(pauses)

I know I do.

Melinda smiles.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Bye, mum. Bye aunties. Bye girls.

Melinda leaves the room.

PAIGE

Is Mel still having an inferiority complex towards her being a witch only?

Phoebe and Piper Exchange glances. Prue looks at Piper. Piper takes a cup of tea and drinks it.

PRUE

It’s just Mel being Mel. That’s all.

Phoebe and Paige have a sip of their tea. Bianca takes a cookie from the plate. Prue sits back, still looking at Piper.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD – THE RED WITCHE’S CAVE – DAY

ON DARKLIGHTER #1. He screams in pain.

Some flames surround him but are soon turned off without truly harming him. In front of him, is Ruby. She is wearing her red cape. The Darklighter breaths in.

RUBY

(mad)

Who sent them?

DARKLIGHTER

I don’t know. I swear.

RUBY

Of course, you know!

Ruby walks towards him and tightens his neck cutting his air.

RUBY (CONT'D)

Tell me who sent those darklighters towards them?

DARKLIGHTER

I swear I don’t know.

Ruby lets go of him fast and as she does, she WAVES a hand and throws him against a rock wall. The Oracle comes in.

DARKLIGHTER (CONT'D)

Ajax just said that we would be respected in the Underworld if we do as he said.

Ruby looks at the Darklighter who tries to stand.

DARKLIGHTER (CONT'D)

But he never mentioned his name or who he was.

RUBY

Darklighters don’t use to work for anyone.

DARKLIGHTER

He was offering us respect and a good position down here.

RUBY

Well, I guess you won’t live to see that day.

Ruby approaches him and raises her hand which starts becoming red.

DARKLIGHTER

(begging)

No, please!

Ruby approaches the Darklighter and tightens his neck again. Using TOUCH OF DEATH, Ruby kills the Darklighter who becomes nothing more than ashes on the cave’s ground.

ORACLE

Stole that power from him?

Ruby turns to the Oracle.

RUBY

It might come in handy.

ORACLE

You could have used the poor guy to spy for you, you know?

RUBY

I don’t need you to tell me what to do, Oracle. Actually, you’re kinda annoying me.

ORACLE

I’m the only friend you have down here. The one you can trust.

Ruby smiles sarcastically.

RUBY

I only trust me, my dear.

The Oracle gets serious. At that moment, a demon SHIMMERS in. BEAT. He is no other than Mr. Prescott’s adviser. JORDAN (looks 35) smiles.

JORDAN

(to Ruby)

I’ve arranged a meeting for you.

Ruby smiles. She turns to the Oracle.

RUBY

See? I know how to choose my employees.

(to Jordan)

Did everything go well in the press conference?

Ruby approaches the chair in the center of the cave where Mau is in. Ruby takes the cat in her arms.

JORDAN

Everything but one thing.

RUBY

What is it?

JORDAN

One of them was there.

RUBY

Chris?

Jordan nods yes.

RUBY (CONT'D)

It doesn’t surprise me. It’s part of his job. Is he suspicious of anything?

JORDAN

I don’t think so.

RUBY

Still ---

(to Jordan)

Find someone to keep them entertained. A distraction.

Jordan nods. He SHIMEMRS out.

ORACLE

What are you up to?

Ruby turns to the Oracle and smiles.

RUBY

Find me who sent the Darklighters to them and I might tell you.

Ruby smiles. She puts the cat on the floor and ---

RUBY (CONT'D)

Sorry now, dear, but I have to get ready for a meeting.

Ruby walks out of the cave. Mau growls angrily. The Oracle looks at Mau.

ORACLE

(to the Cat)

She’s not a saint either.

The Oracle turns around and leaves the cave.

CUT TO BLACK.

Wyatt is sitting at his desk. Chris and Melissa are in front of him. Chris nods yes.

WYATT (CONT'D)

(to Melissa)

Did you see it too?

MELISSA

No, I wasn’t with Chris at the time.

WYATT

(to Chris)

Any traits that would tell us what demon was it?

CHRIS

No, he looked like a regular demon.

MELISSA

He is Julian Prescott’s advisor. He’s always around him.

CHRIS

Maybe this Julian Prescott is a demon too.

WYATT

(stands)

Only a way to find out.

MELISSA

Are you going to meet him?

WYATT

Why not?

CHRIS

I agree.

MELISSA

Isn’t it to step into the wolf’s mouth?

WYATT

Do you have a better idea?

Melissa thinks for seconds.

MELISSA

You are the witches here. Can I stay and finish the article?

WYATT

It was never my intention to take you along with us.

Melissa feels disappointed.

MELISSA

Oh, really?

Wyatt shoots her a look.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

Fine. Your lost.

Melissa walks out the office.

CHRIS

Let’s go?

Wyatt nods. Both head out the office.

Julian Prescott is sitting at his desk when Jordan comes in.

JORDAN

Mr. Prescott, the person you’re expecting has arrived.

Julian stands.

JULIAN

Please.

Julian signs Jordan to let in the person. Jordan signs someone to come in and ---
BEAT. Ruby, herself, comes in. She is wearing an elegant black and red skirt suit and her hair is tied up in a ponytail. She smiles as she comes in.

RUBY

Mr. Prescott.

She walks towards him as Julian meets her halfway.

RUBY (CONT'D)

It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.

JULIAN

Miss LaFontaine. What a nice surprise.

Ruby smiles seductively. Julian signs her to sit. Jordan closes the door and approaches them. Julian sits in his chair as Ruby sits across the desk in front of Julian. Jordan stands beside Julian.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

When Mr. Smith here ---

(points to Jordan)

--- told me that you wanted to meet me, I was a little reluctant.

Ruby smiles.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

But now I see that he wasn’t wrong when he said that I would love to meet you.

Ruby smiles again and shoots Jordan an accomplished look.

RUBY

Jordan used to work for my company.

JULIAN

Is that so?

Julian glances at Jordan.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

(to Jordan)

Why didn’t you say so?

Jordan shrugs. Julian turns to Ruby.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

Anyway, Miss LaFontaine --- 

RUBY

Please, call me Ruby.

Julian smiles.

JULIAN

Ruby.

Ruby smiles.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

What brings you here?

RUBY

I’m going to head straight to the point, Mr. Prescott.

(pause)

I want this company.

BEAT. Julian expected everything, but that.

JULIAN

Excuse me?

RUBY

Don’t get me wrong. I want to be part of this.

JULIAN

Ruby, this company belongs to my family since its beginnings.

RUBY

I know. And it’s growing by the day. I want to be part of this.

JULIAN

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you want to buy Prescott Group?

Ruby stands and paces the office.

RUBY

I come from an important family in France. My ancestors were people used to have everything they wanted. 

Ruby turns to Julian.

RUBY (CONT'D)

I’m not different from that.

JULIAN

I’m sorry to disappoint you, but Prescott Group is not for sale.

RUBY

I’m sure you need to think about it.

Julian stands. He seems annoyed.

JULIAN

There’s nothing to think about. This company is not for sale. If you want to be part of it, there are actions you can buy, but not the company.

RUBY

I’ll give you a day to think, Mr. Prescott.

Ruby approaches the chair she just sat on and takes her purse.

RUBY (CONT'D)

I’m sure we’ll reach an agreement.

Ruby walks towards the door.

JULIAN

I’ve said my last word, Miss LaFontaine. 

Ruby turns around. She smirks maliciously.

RUBY

I haven’t.

Ruby opens the door and walks out the office closing the door behind her. ON JULIAN. He is serious.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – CONSERVATORY ROOM – DAY

Piper and Paige are there. They are taking some maternity clothes out of bags.

PAIGE

You’ve taken care of the girls’ closet for the next nine months.

PIPER

Not nine. A little less than eight months, actually.

Paige smiles.

PAIGE

(enasuring)

You are really excited that you’re going to be a grandmother.

PIPER

I am.

(smiles)

Two little kids running all around the house. It reminds me of when the boys and Mel were little and made a mess of this house.

PAIGE

I have good memories of that too.

Piper stares at Paige.

PIPER

How was it last night? With Junior.

Paige takes a deep breath. She puts the clothes on the table.

PAIGE

I and Henry managed to stay in the same room that Christopher.

PIPER

Was it that bad?

Piper approaches Paige.

PAIGE

No. He seems changed.

PIPER

The important thing is that you three are coming along for Junior.

PAIGE

I know. I love my son and I just want him to be happy.

PIPER

He will because he has a great mother like you.

PAIGE

Oh, Piper.

Paige smiles. Piper hugs her sister.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

Thank you, sis. I had good teachers.

(they break the hug)

My mum Helen and you.

Piper smiles.

PIPER

I hope I get to be a good grandmamma too.

PAIGE

You will.

Piper takes a deep breath.

PIPER

Aren’t the girls taking so long?

PAIGE

Oh, I bet Prue refused to wear that clothes.

At that moment, Bianca comes in dragging Prue in.

BIANCA

C’mon, Prue. You look beautiful.

Piper and Paige look at them.

PIPER

Oh, you both look so sweet.

Both Prue and Bianca had changed clothes and now are wearing maternity clothes. Bianca wears a beautiful baby blue dress while Prue wears a baby blue leggings with a sweet pink long shirt with a ribbon in the waistline.

PRUE

Sweet? I don’t like to look sweet. I hate to look sweet.

Prue seems unhappy.

PRUE (CONT'D)

This is not me.

PIPER

Oh honey, but you look so sweet in pink.

PRUE

I’m not a pink clothes woman. I like dark colors.

Prue and Piper exchange glances.

PAIGE

(to Prue)

I thought you liked pink.

PRUE

I do, but I prefer dark colors.

PIPER

Dark colors for a pregnant?

BIANCA

Well, I do like mine.

Prue shoots Bianca a look.

PRUE

Are you with or against me?

BIANCA

I like the dress, Prue.

PRUE

Yours is not full of ribbons.

PAIGE

Oh, c’mon. There’s just one ribbon.

PRUE

Too many ribbons for me.

PIPER

OK, I think we can find some less sweet maternity clothes for you, Prue.

PRUE

Aunt Piper, I appreciate what you’re doing, but I can pick my own clothes. I do that since I was ten.

PAIGE

(remembers)

Oh, yeah, I remember. Phoebe always wanted to get her to wear cute dresses and she refused to.

Piper and Paige laugh.

PRUE

Not funny, you guys.

Piper approaches Prue and takes her hands.

PIPER

Honey, you’re a mother-to-be now and if you don’t want ribbons. We won’t have ribbons.

Prue is surprised.

PRUE

I can take this off?

PIPER

Yes, of course. You’ll look good no matter what you’re wearing.

Prue smiles.

PRUE

Thank you, aunt Piper.

Piper smiles and touches Prue’s face.

PIPER

You’d better change fast because your aunt Prue and Phoebe are coming with some movies for us to watch.

PRUE

What kind of movies?

Piper smiles roguishly.

PIPER

You’ll see.

Prue sighs annoyed. She turns around and leaves. Piper turns to Bianca.

PIPER (CONT'D)

(to Bianca)

You look beautiful on that.

BIANCA

Thank you.

Piper and Bianca hold that smile for moments.

PAIGE

Let’s see what else Piper brought from New Orleans?

The three of them head to the table where the bags are.

Chris and Wyatt are there sitting. They are waiting. The doors that lead to inside open and Cassandra comes out checking her smartphone. Chris sees her and signs Wyatt. They are surprised to see Cassandra there. Wyatt and Chris stand and walk towards her. Cassandra seems mad.

CHRIS

Cass?

Cassandra looks at them.

CASSANDRA

Wyatt? Chris? What are you doing here?

WYATT

Can we ask you the same?

CASSANDRA

Oh, I ---

(looks around)

--- Work here now.

WYATT

Since when?

CASSANDRA

Today. I told you, guys, I was going to work on a big company.

CHRIS

You never mentioned Prescott Group.

Cassandra realizes they are right.

CASSANDRA

Oh. Well, yes. I work in the HR department. They have a psychiatrist and I’m his new assistant.

Wyatt and Chris exchange glances.

WYATT

That’s great, Cass.

CASSANDRA

But what are you two doing here?

The receptionist approaches them.

RECEPTIONIST

Mr. Prescott will see you now.

Mr. Prescott, they are here.

Julian raises his head from his computer and looks at Wyatt and Chris. Julian stands.

JULIAN

Gentlemen! Please, come in.

Annabel leaves the office. Julian approaches them and reaches out his hand. Julian shakes hands with Wyatt and then Chris.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

Annabel told me you are from the Bay Mirror.

WYATT

Actually, it’s Mirror’s Magazine.

JULIAN

Bay Mirror’s Magazine. I’m good friend with the CEO.

Wyatt and Chris exchange glances.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

Please, have a sit.

Julian signs Wyatt and Chris to sit. Julian approaches the bar.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

Drink something?

CHRIS

We are okay, thank you.

Julian pours some whiskey to a glass.

JULIAN

So, gentlemen, what can I do for you?

Julian turns.

WYATT

We want to know more about your new investments, Mr. Prescott.

CHRIS

Osborn Constructions is the first constructions’ company you acquire. Is there more on the way?

Julian grins.

JULIAN

Of course, there’s more. It was a great deal, but there’s more on the way.

WYATT

Are you planning to own the city?

Julian grins again.

JULIAN

Will that be bad?

CHRIS

Isn’t that too much power for a man only, Mr. Prescott?

JULIAN

Isn’t it the best thing that we have?

(pauses)

Power.

Wyatt lowers his gaze. Chris stares seriously at Julian.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

I rather control everything around me, Mr. Halliwell. I don’t like surprises. Owning the city. The world.

Julian walks towards his chair.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

All that gives me control of everything.

CHRIS

No one can control everything.

JULIAN

(sure)

I can. I will.

Wyatt looks at Julian.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

(looks at Wyatt)

Don’t you agree with me, Mr. Halliwell?

Chris looks at Wyatt who stares at Julian as he stares at Wyatt.

CHRIS

Now.

Wyatt WAVES his hands and FREEZES Julian.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

(stands)

That was about time!

Chris takes a needle from his jacket’s pocket. Wyatt stands.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

I’ll prick him.

WYATT

Will it work? Isn’t that for Warlocks?

CHRIS

Warlocks, demons. There are the same.

WYATT

Upper-level demons bleed red, Chris.

Chris pricks Julian’s hand and waits. No blood.

CHRIS

He is not bleeding.

WYATT

He’s frozen.

CHRIS

Right.

At that moment, the door opens and Jordan comes in.

JORDAN

Mr. Prescott ---

Jordan closes the door behind him. Wyatt and Chris look at him. Jordan looks at Wyatt and Chris.

JORDAN (CONT'D)

Witches!

CHRIS

Demon!

Jordan looks at Julian who remains frozen. Then he looks back at Chris and Wyatt. Not thinking twice, Jordan SHIMMERS out. Wyatt and Chris exchange glances.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

That one is a demon for sure. And this one ---

(points to Julian)

--- All the conversation about power. Might be one too.

WYATT

Let’s unfreeze him.

Wyatt and Chris get back to their seats. Then, Wyatt WAVES his hands and UNFREEZES Julian. Julian is still staring at Wyatt.

JULIAN

Well, Mr. Halliwell, don’t you agree with me?

Julian bleeds. He sees the blood in his hand.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

What the ---

CHRIS

We’ve got everything we needed, Mr. Prescott.

Wyatt and Chris stand. Julian puts the glass on the desk.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

Have a nice day.

Julian is confused about the blood and is unable to stop Chris and Wyatt from leaving the office. Julian takes a tissue and wipes the blood.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT GROUP – DEPARTMENT’S AREA – DAY

Wyatt and Chris come walking fast.

CHRIS

He bled.

WYATT

That only means he’s not a Warlock.

They run into Cassandra.

CASSANDRA

You, guys!

CHRIS

Cass!

CASSANDRA

Where are you going in that rush?

Wyatt and Chris exchange glances.

WYATT

She might be helpful.

CASSANDRA

Helpful on what?

HALEY

You learn fast.

Jo smiles. Melinda comes into the bar.

MELINDA

I’m glad I hired you. You are natural.

Jo smiles again.

JO

I told you a had a little training back in the future.

MELINDA

Yeah, in a restaurant. Do you work for me in the future?

Melinda tries to take something out of Jo. Jo smiles.

JO

I can’t say anything about the future, remember?

MELINDA

You can’t blame a girl for trying.

Both smile. At that moment, Liam comes downstairs. Melinda sees him coming in. She stares at him.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

(smiles)

My boyfriend is here.

Jo follows Melinda look. Jo looks at Liam. She squints.

JO

But that’s not Damon.

MELINDA

No, that's Liam.

Melinda cuts herself off. She realizes what Jo said.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Wait, what did you say?

Jo realizes that she had said too much.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

You know Damon? Where do you know Damon from?

Jo is about to say something.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Wait!

Jo remains silent.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

I don’t want to know, right?

JO

(reluctant)

Right.

MELINDA

Living the present.

JO

Living the present.

Melinda heads out the bar and approaches Liam. He smiles as he sees her. Melinda jumps into his arms and kisses him passionately. Jo looks at them.

JO (CONT'D)

Mel and Damon are going through that phase.

Melinda and Liam break the kiss.

LIAM

Hey, what was that about?

MELINDA

(smiles)

Didn’t you like it?

Are you kidding me? I loved it.

MELINDA

Good.

Both kiss again.

WYATT

Hey!

Prue looks at him. Wyatt comes in.

PRUE

Hey, baby!

Both walk towards one another and kiss.

PRUE (CONT'D)

You’re finally at home.

WYATT

Yeah, well, I need to get out actually.

PRUE

Oh, please tell me that you are going to P3?

Wyatt expression shows he is not.

PRUE (CONT'D)

A demon?

Wyatt gives in.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Oh, please take me with you.

WYATT

Honey, you’d better stay here.

PRUE

I’m just pregnant. I can fight demons.

WYATT

We don’t know what kind of demon this one is.

(hold her hands)

Besides, you have some quality time to spend with the grandmas.

Prue seems annoyed.

PRUE

I wasn’t made for this.

Prue turns around and sits on the bed.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Look at these clothes!

Wyatt sits beside her.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I don’t look like Prue with this.

Prue looks at Wyatt.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I don’t want to lose my identity just because I’m pregnant.

WYATT

Honey, you won’t. No matter what you’re wearing, you’re still Prue.

PRUE

But these clothes ---

WYATT

These clothes just show how beautiful you look with a big belly.

PRUE

I don’t have a big belly yet. Your daughter still has the size of a peanut.

WYATT

But I can imagine you with a big belly. And I like the vision of it.

Prue smiles. They kiss.

PRUE

I’m sorry if sometimes I don’t seem much happier with this. It’s just that I don’t want to forget who I am.

WYATT

You won’t. You just have another someone who’s part of who you are now.

Wyatt touches her face softly.

WYATT (CONT'D)

We both have.

They kiss again.

PRUE

I really hope she looks like you.

WYATT

I wouldn’t mind if she looks like you.

Both kiss again. At that moment, an EXPLOSION is heard.

WYATT (CONT'D)

What was that?

Prue shrugs. They get out the bedroom.

It was nothing.

PAIGE

Just a ---

Prue and Wyatt come in.

PRUE

What the hell happened?

PIPER

A rat.

Paige looks at Piper.

PIPER (CONT'D)

I thought I saw a rat.

Paige nods.

PAIGE

Yeah, that’s right. A rat.

WYATT

And you tried to blow up the rat, mum?

PIPER

Well, I don’t like rats, so, of course, I tried to blow it up.

PRUE

Did you do it?

Piper looks at Prue.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Did you vanquish the rat?

PIPER

Vanquish? Oh, honey! It was just a rat.

PAIGE

Yeah, not need to vanquish it.

BIANCA

Oh, I would vanquish rats if I could.

PIPER

Let’s forget about vanquishing tonight and let’s enjoy our night.

PAIGE

Yes, you girls better stay in the living room while we take care of the popcorns in the kitchen.

PIPER

Wyatt, honey, would you like to stay.

Wyatt and Prue exchange glances. He disguises.

WYATT

Oh, mum, I would love to, but I have to work tonight.

PRUE

(whispers)

Traitor!

Wyatt gives her a look. Piper approaches Bianca and drags her towards the living room.

PIPER

C’mon. let’s go.

Paige signs Prue to go to the living room. Prue shrugs. Wyatt kisses her.

WYATT

Good luck.

Wyatt gets out the conservatory room. Prue looks at Paige.

PRUE

A rat, huh?

Paige nods and fakes a smile. Then, Paige signs her to get into the living room. Prue heads into the living room. Paige takes a deep breath.

Ruby comes into the cave followed by Jordan. She’s still wearing the suit she used to meet Julian Prescott.

RUBY

Are you sure?

JORDAN

I saw them myself. They knew I was a demon.

Ruby is mad.

RUBY

Damn! I can’t have them sneaking around.

Mau approaches Ruby and rubs against her legs. Ruby takes Mau in her arms.

RUBY (CONT'D)

Who did you send as a distraction?

JORDAN

Rat Demons to their homes.

RUBY

I don’t want any harm to be caused to them, okay? Only I am allowed to harm them.

JORDAN

I’ve told them that.

RUBY

Good. Let’s hope that Wyatt and Chris get away from that company.

Ruby puts Mau back on the ground.

RUBY (CONT'D)

Has Julian talked with you about my proposal?

JORDAN

I tried to bring the subject back on, but he refused to talk about it.

Ruby grimaces.

JORDAN (CONT'D)

He said he has made his mind.

RUBY

Let’s hope he changes his mind otherwise, Mr. Prescott will make a trip with no return.

Ruby turns around. She’s serious.

RUBY (CONT'D)

This company has to be mine. I need to own the city. And then, the World.

Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Prudence are there.

PHOEBE

(to Piper and Paige)

Are you sure it was a Rat Demon?

Piper and Paige nod.

PIPER

He looked like a man who then turned into a rat. So, I guess it was a Rat Demon.

PRUDENCE

Where did it go?

PAIGE

It went this way.

At that moment, a rat pass by Prudence’s feet. She screams.

PIPER

(points to the rat)

There it is!

PRUDENCE

I know. I felt it.

Piper WAVES her hands trying to blow up the rat that passes by one of the chairs. The chair legs blow up.

PHOEBE

Piper!

PIPER

What?

PHOEBE

You missed the demon!

PIPER

I know!

They seem desperate. ON THE RAT. It goes straight to the basement door, which is open.

PAIGE

Lock the door. Lock the door!

Quickly Prudence, who’s the one closer to the door, closes it.

PHOEBE

Guys, that won’t stop a Rat Demon.

BIANCA

Rat Demon?

The girl has entered the kitchen.

PAIGE

(disguising)

Rat Demon? Who said anything about Rat Demons?

BIANCA

You guys did.

PHOEBE

We? No, we didn’t.

Bianca stares at the four of them.

PIPER

(to Bianca)

Honey, why don’t you join Prue in the living room?

BIANCA

Oh, I heard you’re making popcorns. I have a receipt I learned in Spain when I was there with Chris.

PIPER

You do?

Bianca nods.

PHOEBE

Spanish popcorns? Sounds like fun.

PIPER

The doorbell rings. Prue comes from the living room and opens the door. Charlotte is there. She has an apologetic look on her face. Prue gives her a look.

PRUE

Oh, my traitor sister has come to visit me.

CHARLOTTE

C’mon, Prue. How many times do I have to say I’m sorry?

Prue squints.

PRUE

You invited that little witch to my bedroom!

CHARLOTTE

For the gazillion time, I’m sorry.

Prue signs her to come in.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

We’ve been getting along and I don’t want to blow it, Prue.

Charlotte walks in. Prue closes the door.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

I just invited her in so I could keep an eye on her.

PRUE

Yeah, right!

CHARLOTTE

Besides, she didn’t even want to stay in your old bedroom.

PRUE

(surprised)

Didn’t she?

CHARLOTTE

Nope. She’s staying in the basement.

PRUE

(surprised)

She is? Why?

CHARLOTTE

I don’t know. She said she didn’t want to cause any troubles.

Prue is astonished. She signs Charlotte to get into the living room. They head in.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – EVENING

Charlotte and Prue come in.

PRUE

Have you found anything about her?

CHARLOTTE

She doesn’t talk about herself. She leaves in the morning and comes back very late at night.

Prue and Charlotte sit on the couch.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

I stayed up last night with Eric and we asked her to join us and talk, but she refused the invitation saying that she was tired and needed to sleep.

PRUE

Melinda also told me she’s not opening up about herself. Mysterious woman.

CHARLOTTE

Yeah.

Charlotte stares at Prue.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

Am I forgiven?

Prue shoots her sister a look.

PRUE

Only if you promise me you would watch her very closely.

CHARLOTTE

I promise. Not that I don’t trust her, but I’ll do that for you.

PRUE

Everybody seems to trust that girl.

CHARLOTTE

Everybody, but you.

Prue nods.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

So, how are you surviving to this night?

PRUE

Oh, now the real fun has begun.

CHARLOTTE

How’s that?

PRUE

There are demons in the house.

Charlotte is surprised.

CHARLOTTE

And you are that cool with it?

PRUE

Oh, they are trying to take control of it while I and Bianca stay relaxed. But they don’t know that we know there’s a demon in the house.

At that moment, Paige comes in bringing Bianca.

PAIGE

So, stay here.

Paige makes Bianca sit.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

And worry about nothing.

PRUE

What’s there to worry about?

PAIGE

(disguises)

Oh, the popcorns.

(to Charlotte)

Oh, hi sweetie!

Charlotte smiles at her.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

So, you two ---

(looks at Charlotte)

--- three, if you want to join, Charlie ---

CHARLOTTE

Oh, no, thank you.

PAIGE

Suit yourself, dear.

Charlotte smiles.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

I was saying, stay here and watch the movies Prudence brought. We are going to prepare the popcorns using the receipt Bianca gave us.

Paige stares at them. She forces a smile.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

We’ll be right back.

Paige leaves the living room quickly. Prue and Charlotte look at Bianca.

PRUE

So?

BIANCA

Rat Demon.

PRUE

You sure?

Bianca nods.

CHARLOTTE

Are you guys not worried about it?

PRUE

Like aunt Paige said, let’s enjoy the movies.

(to Charlotte)

Are you sure you don’t want to ---?

CHARLOTTE

I’ll meet Eric at P3.

Charlotte stands.

PRUE

Don’t forget what you promised me.

CHARLOTTE

I won’t. Bye.

Charlotte leaves the room and soon the front door closing is heard. Prue takes some DVDs from the coffee table.

PRUE

So, what do you want to watch? What to expect when you’re expecting?

BIANCA

That’s an old movie.

PRUE

Mum made me watch it once when I was a teenager.

BIANCA

What are the other options?

Prue reads the DVDs names.

PRUE

Knocked Up. Nine Months. Oh, and there’s a documentary here. The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy.

BIANCA

Nothing more recent?

Prue nods no.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

Then, I think we can start with the documentary.

PRUE

Let’s do this.

Prue takes the DVD box and takes the disc out of it.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Let’s sit and relax.

Prue heads to the DVD player. Bianca sits back on the couch.

The bar is full. Junior is sitting by the counter having a drink. He has a sip of his drink. Melissa comes downstairs. She spots Junior immediately. Melissa smiles and walks over him. Melissa puts her purse on the seat beside Junior.

MELISSA

Is this seat taken?

Junior looks at Melissa.

JUNIOR

Why am I not surprised to see you here?

MELISSA

I told you I use to come here.

JUNIOR

Whatever.

(signs her to sit)

It’s empty.

Melissa smiles and sits beside him.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

What do you have?

MELISSA

A bourbon.

JUNIOR

You really like bourbon?!

MELISSA

My aunt used to take me to New Orleans on vacations so ---

Junior smiles. Then he signs to the bartender.

JUNIOR

A bourbon for the lady, please.

The bartender approaches the counter with a bottle of bourbon and pours some bourbon into a glass. He hands it to Melissa.

MELISSA

(to the bartender)

Thank you.

The bartender gets back to his duties.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

(to Junior)

So, here again?

JUNIOR

I don’t have a better place to be.

MELISSA

Maybe hunting with your family.

JUNIOR

Are you here to tell me that Darklighters are attacking my family again?

Melissa smiles.

MELISSA

No. actually I think Wyatt and Chris are chasing a demon, but they can manage it.

Junior gives her a look.

JUNIOR

You’re joking?

MELISSA

No. I’m serious.

Melissa touches Junior’s hand.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

(ensuring)

They can handle it.

Junior has a sip of his drink as Melissa has a sip of hers. Both stay silent for seconds, then ---

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I use to date this guy. We broke up a few weeks ago.

Junior looks at her.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I met him at work. Well, ---

(smiles)

--- In the elevator. He works in the Bay Mirror and I used to see him every morning and every night on the elevator.

Melissa has a sip of her drink.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

One night, I worked overtime. It was late when I took the elevator. Wanted to go home and take a hot bath. But he was working overtime as well.

(pauses)

When the elevator opens and I saw him in, I thought ‘wow, the two of us alone finally’.

(smiles)

He talked to me for the first time. Well, more than just the simple ‘hi’ we used to share every morning and the ‘goodbye’ we said to one another each night.

(lowers her gaze)

He invited me to have a drink.

Melissa looks around.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

In this very same bar.

Melissa looks at Junior.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

We ended that night in my apartment. And so, we did for the next five months after that.

JUNIOR

(curious)

What happened?

Melissa gets thoughtful. Her expression turns to sad.

MELISSA

A few weeks ago, I went to Bay Mirror’s floor to hand some papers to Phoebe. I saw him there. I approached him. I thought we could take things seriously and start showing the others that we were a couple.

(looks at Junior; smiles)

I thought it was a good idea to have lunch together and I was going to ask him when this woman came in.

Junior lowers his gaze.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

His five months pregnant wife.

Melissa lowers her gaze.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

She got pregnant at the same time we started seeing each other.

Junior looks at her.

JUNIOR

What did you do?

Melissa looks at him and smiles.

MELISSA

I ran away.

(takes a deep breath)

Every morning and night, I make sure he’s not in the elevator when I come in. He betrayed me and we both betrayed his wife. I didn’t even know what I was doing.

JUNIOR

It’s not your fault.

Junior holds Melissa’s hand.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

He was a jerk.

Melissa smiles at Junior. Both share a sympathetic look.

MELISSA

I think that’s to say the less.

Junior smiles.

JUNIOR

I don’t want to talk about what happened to me. Not yet.

MELISSA

It’s OK. You are the first person I talked to about what happened to me.

Both stare at one another.

JUNIOR

Next bourbon is on me.

Melissa smiles. Junior takes his glass and raises it. Both toast.

WYATT

Cass!

CASSANDRA

Hey, you guys, what took you so long?

CHRIS

We are here now.

CASSANDRA

Did you find what demon that one is?

WYATT

He is not in the Book of Shadows, so I just prepared a vanquishing potion in case my powers are not enough.

CASSANDRA

I’m sure your all-mighty powers are enough. I don’t believe Jordan is a demon we should worry about.

CHRIS

Have you found anything about him?

CASSANDRA

I talked to Annabel, Mr. Prescott's PA, and she told me that Jordan has worked for him for the past two years. She knows nothing about his personal life.

WYATT

Of course, he’s a demon. What else is new.

CASSANDRA

The thing is that Mr. Prescott trusts Jordan a lot. Wherever he goes, Jordan follows.

WYATT

Like a bodyguard?

CASSANDRA

Like a shadow, better saying.

CHRIS

Is he in the building right now?

CASSANDRA

I don’t know. But Mr. Prescott is.

WYATT

Maybe he shows up.

CHRIS

About Mr. Prescott, Cass, have you found anything that proves he is a demon?

CASSANDRA

I don’t believe he is, Chris. 

WYATT

How are you so sure about that?

PANDORA (O.S.)

Because I’ve been watching him for hours.

Wyatt and Chris look around but see no one else.

WYATT

OK, that seemed like Pan’s voice.

PANDORA (O.S.)

That’s because it’s my voice, your papa-to-be.

WYATT

Where are you?

PANDORA (O.S.)

I’m invisible.

CASSANDRA

I asked her to help us.

PANDORA (O.S.)

I just came out from the inside. That man Jordan just came in.

CASSANDRA

He didn’t through me.

CHRIS

He must have flame in.

PANDORA (O.S.)

Anyway, they’ve been talking, and that Mr. Prescott seems everything, but a demon to me. Now that Jordan is.

WYATT

So, let’s vanquish him.

CASSANDRA

(worried)

Guys, I work here. I don’t want to lose my job.

Wyatt and Chris exchange glances.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

There’re security cameras everywhere.

CHRIS

Have you found the passes I asked you to?

CASSANDRA

I did. Three guest passes.

Cassandra takes some guest passes from her pocket.

CHRIS

Good. We glamour.

CASSANDRA

That’s cool, but that's not one of my powers.

CHRIS

Luckily for you, it’s one of ours.

Chris signs them to hide behind some brushes. Once there, both Chris and Wyatt SNAP THEIR FINGERS and soon they are surrounded by shiny orbs. They become other people. Then they SNAP THEIR FINGERS again and turn Cassandra into someone else.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

(to Cassandra)

Hope you like to be blond, cous.

PANDORA (O.S.)

You guys look great, now let’s move.

CHRIS

Any idea how do we get in.

PANDORA (O.S.)

I’ve thought about that.

They wait for an answer.

PANDORA (O.S.) (CONT'D)

I orb you guys in the only place where there’s no camera.

Wyatt, Chris and Cassandra exchange glances.

PANDORA (O.S.) (CONT'D)

The cleaning room.

That’s when, ORBS start surrounding Wyatt, Chris, and Cassandra. Pandora just ORBED them out.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

--- That’s for you to prepare for what’s to come.

PRUE

Oh, I don’t want that. I’ve made my mind. I want a cesarean.

PRUDENCE

Oh, honey, you vanquish demons. I’m sure you can handle.

(looks from Prue to Bianca)

You both.

BIANCA

I think I don’t want to keep watching.

PRUE

Neither do I.

Prue turns off the TV. Then, both Prue and Bianca look at Prudence and Paige.

PRUE (CONT'D)

So, what are you guys doing?

Prue looks at the Crystals’ box.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Is that the Crystals’ box?

Prudence and Paige look at it.

PAIGE

Oh, this?

Prue nods.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

(disguises)

No.

Paige looks at Prudence trying to find some support.

PRUDENCE

This is just ---

Prudence and Paige don’t know what to say. Prue and Bianca stare at them.

PAIGE

A receipts’ box.

Prue and Bianca exchange glances.

PRUDENCE

Yeah, it was Grams’ receipts’ box.

PAIGE

It has an old strawberry milkshake receipt in and it’s just delicious.

BIANCA

Strawberry milkshake, huh?

Prudence and Paige nod.

PAIGE

I used to take that when I was pregnant with the twins.

Prudence nods.

PRUDENCE

Well, girls, keep watching the movies.

Prudence nods Paige to get out. Both leave the room. Prue and Bianca exchange glances.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – FRONT HALL – EVENING

Once in the hall, Paige opens the Crystals’ box and both Paige and Prudence ---

PAIGE / PRUDENCE

(whispering)

Crystals.

All the Crystals ORB out the box and are placed around the living room.

ON CRYSTALS BEING PLACED OUTSIDE THE LIVING ROOM IN THE FLOOR.

PRUDENCE

Let’s go.

Paige and Prudence leave.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – BASEMENT – EVENING

Piper and Phoebe are still there.

PIPER

They’re moving too fast, Phoebe. I believe now that there’s more than two.

PHOEBE

OK, then just freeze the entire room.

Prudence and Paige come in.

PRUDENCE

That seems like a great idea, Piper.

PAIGE

Agree.

A dozen rats start surrounding them.

PHOEBE

(frightened)

Oh, my God! There are lots of them!

PRUDENCE

(to Phoebe)

What? Demons you can handle but no rats?

Phoebe shoots Prudence a look.

PHOEBE

I’m retired from that, you know?

PAIGE

Piper, freeze them now.

Piper WAVES her hands and freezes the rats. The sisters look at them all.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

Now we must vanquish them.

PIPER

Agree.

Piper starts WAVING her hands and vanquishes the rats one by one until only one remain. Piper stops and looks at it.

PRUDENCE

What are you waiting for, Piper?

Piper looks at her sisters.

PIPER

Why would Rat Demons come into this house?

PHOEBE

Why do we keep calling them Rat Demons? I told you guys once that it’s very hard to be appropriately frightened.

PAIGE

The name stuck.

Piper lowers down and looks at the Rat Demon.

PRUDENCE

What are you doing, Piper?

Piper looks at Prudence.

PIPER

I just can’t get out of my mind that they coming here today is not a coincidence.

PHOEBE

Nothing ever is.

(pauses)

Better blow it up.

Piper stands. She WAVES her hands and blows up the rat.

PAIGE

Was it the last one?

PHOEBE

Let’s check the manor.

Both Phoebe and Paige go upstairs and leave the attic. Prudence approaches Piper.

PRUDENCE

What’s in your mind?

PIPER

I don’t know. I just remember when Wyatt was born. Demons where after him.

Piper looks at Prudence.

PIPER (CONT'D)

It just came to my mind that my grandchildren can go through that too.

PRUDENCE

It would be silly of us to think that they won’t. they are who they are Piper. But we’ve got this big family to protect them.

(smiles)

Especially their Grandmammas and Grandaunties.

Piper smiles.

PIPER

We are still Charmed, aren’t we?

Prudence smiles.

PRUDENCE

Forever.

Both sisters hug.

INT. PRESCOTT GROUP – CORRIDORS – NIGHT

Only a few lights are on. Wyatt, Chris, and Cassandra disguised come down the corridors.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT GROUP – CUBICLES ROOM – EVENING

No one is on their cubicles. Across the big room, the entrance to Mr. Prescott’s office is seen. The door opens and Jordan comes out of it. He doesn’t realize that from across the room, Wyatt, Chris, and Cassandra come in. Well, and Pandora in invisible mode.

CASSANDRA

There he is.

Jordan sees them. He doesn’t recognize them.

JORDAN

Hey, the three of you, what are you still doing here?

Jordan stares at them.

WYATT

We came after you.

Jordan stares at them. Then, it hits Jordan.

JORDAN

The Destined Ones.

CASSANDRA

Part of them, yes.

Jordan is about to FLAME out, but Wyatt is faster and WAVES his hands to FREEZE Jordan.

CHRIS

Unfreeze his head.

Wyatt WAVES his hand again and unfreezes Jordan’s head. Jordan realizes he is frozen.

PANDORA (O.S.)

Why don’t you vanquish him?

CHRIS

(to Jordan)

What are you doing here?

JORDAN

I won’t tell you anything, Witches.

CHRIS

You better do otherwise, we’ll vanquish you.

JORDAN

I am dead either way.

CASSANDRA

Let’s vanquish him.

CHRIS

Then we won’t know why he is here.

CASSANDRA

For crying out loud, Chris, demons have always tried to fit in with us.

WYATT

I say we vanquish him.

Wyatt and Chris exchange glances. Chris nods. Wyatt WAVES his hand and using MOLECULAR COMBUSTIONS, he vanquishes the demon. Flames consume Jordan completely. All that remains are his ashes on the floor.

CASSANDRA

Let’s get out of here fast.

They all leave the room.

ON JORDAN’S ASHES.

INT. P3 – DANCING FLOOR / BAR – EVENING

MUSIC KEEPS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND.

The club is full of people.

Melinda is at a table with Liam. They are holding hands.

LIAM

I’m glad I’m here with you.

Melinda smiles.

MELINDA

I’m glad too.

At that moment, Tamora and Sebastian walk over them.

TAMORA

Hey, look who’s here!

Melinda and Liam look at Tamora and Sebastian.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

(to Melinda)

I finally get to meet your new boyfriend.

Tamora smiles at Liam.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

(to Liam)

Hi. Tamora here. This is my boyfriend, Sebastian.

Liam smiles at Tamora and shakes hands with Sebastian.

SEBASTIAN

Nice to meet you.

At that moment, Charlotte and Eric walk over them too.

ERIC

Hey, guys.

MELINDA

So, everyone decided to come here tonight?

CHARLOTTE

(to Melinda)

Tamora texted me saying that Haley texted her saying that you would be here with your new boyfriend.

Melinda looks at Liam ashamed. Liam smiles.

MELINDA

(to Liam)

I told you, my family is the worse.

CHARLOTTE

Thank you for that, cous.

ERIC

(introducing himself to Liam)

Hey. I’m Charlotte’s boyfriend.

TAMORA

Oh, but he was Charlotte’s sister boyfriend once.

MELINDA

Tam!

TAMORA

What? It’s true.

CHARLOTTE

(to Liam)

Water under the bridge.

Melinda grabs Charlotte and Tamora’s hands.

MELINDA

(to the guys)

We’ll be right back.

Melinda drags them to a corner.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

What do you guys think you’re doing?

CHARLOTTE

Oh, well, we lied. Haley didn’t text Tam.

Melinda shoots Tamora a look.

MELINDA

Then?

TAMORA

We just want to keep an eye on her.

Tamora looks at someone. Melinda follows Tamora’s look which leads to Jo. Jo is at the bar serving some drinks to customers.

MELINDA

You guys don’t trust her.

CHARLOTTE

I honestly don’t know. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t.

TAMORA

It’s just weird, you know? She’s from the future.

(pauses)

She came to try to stop something bad that happens, but she won’t tell us what it is.

MELINDA

Well, she said something.

Tamora and Charlotte look at Melinda.

CHARLOTTE

What?

MELINDA

Nothing important. She just mentioned Damon.

TAMORA

Just that?

MELINDA

When she saw Liam, she said ‘that’s not Damon’.

CHARLOTTE

What does that mean?

MELINDA

I don’t even want to think about that. Do you guys want to know Liam or what?

Melinda walks over the guys. Tamora and Charlotte follow her.

STOCK.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – LIVING ROOM – EVENING

Prue and Bianca are still there on the couch watching a movie. They seem terrified with the movie.

BIANCA

I thought you said it was a comedy.

PRUE

I thought it was.

At that moment, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Prudence come in with popcorns and a tray of strawberry milkshake.

PAIGE

The popcorns and milkshakes are finally here.

They hand Prue and Bianca popcorns and milkshakes and then, they sit. Piper sits in the middle of Prue and Bianca. Phoebe sits beside Prue. Paige and Prudence take their seats on the other couches.

PRUE

So, you guys managed to vanquished the Rat Demons?

Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Prudence exchange glances.

PHOEBE

How did you know?

BIANCA

You really thought we wouldn’t get suspicious of all that explosions?

PRUE

And in this house? Really?

Prue and Bianca exchange glances and smile.

PAIGE

We did vanquish the demons.

BIANCA

Demons? There were more than one?

PRUE

Didn’t you hear all the explosions in the basement?

BIANCA

I was astonished looking at the TV.

At that moment, Wyatt and Chris ORB in. They all look at them.

PRUDENCE

Rough night?

WYATT

We vanquished a demon.

Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Prudence laugh.

PIPER

We vanquished a lot of them.

Wyatt and Chris exchange glances.

PHOEBE

Yeah, I guess we are still Charmed and kicking.

PRUDENCE

And grandaunties.

PHOEBE

And Grandmammas!

They all laugh.

PAIGE

Join us, guys.

Wyatt and Chris join them. Piper whispers something to Prue.

PIPER

I’m glad you didn’t change.

Prue smiles.

PRUE

I realize that clothes don’t define who I am. Besides, I’d better embrace my motherly side.

Piper smiles. All of them eat popcorn and watch the movie.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT GROUP – CUBICLES ROOM – EVENING

ON JORDAN’S ASHES. A PAIR OF RED HIGH HEELS SHOES WALK OVER THE ASHES.

The camera slowly shows us the owner: RUBY.

She is standing, looking at Jordan’s ashes.

RUBY

My dear employee. What have they done to you?

Ruby lowers down and SUMMONS a small cauldron. She grabs Jordan’s ashes and throws them into the cauldron.

RUBY (CONT'D)

‘Surge servus certatior mi fide’

ON THE LIQUID INSIDE THE CAULDRON: IT BUBBLES. It takes a shade of dark red. Ruby pours the liquid inside the cauldron over the remaining ashes on the floor. Some gray smoke starts forming and becomes bigger and bigger. Ruby stands and smiles. Soon, the smoke disappears to reveal Jordan there.

RUBY (CONT'D)

Welcome back.

JORDAN

Thank you.

RUBY

(smiles)

I thought about it and I can’t wait for tomorrow. This company will be mine tonight.

Jordan looks at Mr. Prescott’s office. There’s still light inside.

JORDAN

He is still there.

Ruby smiles.

RUBY

Let’s go.

Ruby walks towards Mr. Prescott’s office. Jordan follows her.

As they walk toward the office, the image darkens until ---
