DESTINED

SEASON 5, EPISODE 15

'OFF WITH THEIR HEADS'

TEASER

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. DARK TOWER - CELL - DAY

Ruby’s cell seems less dark than before. Before, there wasn't a piece of furniture, but now, there is a small bed with comfortable bed clothing, and a desk with several books and a lamp, and a round table. Ruby is sitting at the desk, the lamp’s on, and she’s focused on a book. She is not chained.

OFF TO THE DOOR - It opens and Blanche comes in. She carries some bags.

BLANCHE

I brought us something to eat.

Ruby doesn’t take her eyes from the book.

RUBY

Please, tell me you didn’t get us croissants again.

BLANCHE

I thought you like them.

Blanche leaves the door open. Ruby raises her glare and stares at her sister.

RUBY

I used to before you started feeding me with them inside this cage.

BLANCHE

It’s not a cage, Ruby. And it actually looks better now.

Ruby shoots her a look.

RUBY

You clearly have no sense of good taste.

Blanche puts the bags on the round table.

BLANCHE

Well, you’ll be happy to know it’s not croissants. I bought us Croque Monsieur.

Ruby’s eyes widen.

RUBY

From that small pâtisserie near Notre Dame?

Blanche nods. Ruby smiles and stands as she walks over to the round table.

RUBY (CONT’D)

I’m so hungry.

Blanche smiles.

RUBY (CONT’D)

Since I got free from the cell all those years ago that I’ve been trying everything. It’s a good thing I didn’t get fat.

Ruby starts taking the food out of the bags.

BLANCHE

Have you found anything yet?

Ruby shakes her head.

RUBY

Reality warping is a very complicated matter. They are right, it doesn’t matter what they do, they won’t get back to the moment they left.

Blanche’s expression saddens.

BLANCHE

I wish I knew who’s behind this.

Ruby stares at her sister. Then her sight goes to the open door.

RUBY

If you let me out I could ---

BLANCHE

No, Ruby. You are not leaving this tower.

Ruby and Blanche stare seriously at each other.

CAMERA FOCUSES ON THE BACK OF THE PERSON - It is a woman. An Evil Witch who's known as the QUEEN OF HEARTS.

QUEEN OF HEARTS

(commanding)

Off with their heads!

Panic invades the demons’ faces. The Executioner waves his ax and with one blow he cuts off the demons’ head. Their bodies fall on the ground before blowing up. The Executioner stares at the Queen of Hearts.

CLOSE UP - The Queen of Hearts’ face. Her name is LEORA (30s). She smirks wickedly.

CUT TO BLACK.

MUSIC KEEPS PLAYING IN THE B.G.

Prue is on the couch. She caresses her belly and is thoughtful.

OFF TO NATE - He comes from the bedroom carrying baby Andy in his arms and stares at her for a few seconds. Nate sighs. He looks at the baby.

ON BABY ANDY - He smiles at Nate.

Nate smiles. Then he looks at Prue again.

MUSIC FADES OFF.

SOUND - DOORBELL.

Prue is brought from her thoughts. Nate walks over to the front door. Prue stands. Nate opens the door and a woman is there; Nate’s mother (DORIS HOWE-HALLIWELL, 60s) stands there with a big smile on her face.

NATE

(smiles)

Mom!

Doris opens her arms and goes to hug her son and baby Andy.

DORIS

Oh, I know I just saw you, but I’ve missed you two already.

Prue stares at them. Doris looks at Prue from over Nate’s shoulder. Doris breaks the hug. She looks at baby Andy.

DORIS (CONT’D)

Two days. I saw him two days ago and he seems so much bigger.

NATE

Mom, he looks the same.

DORIS

Oh, I know, but for me, it's like he’s grown a couple of centimeters since I last saw him.

Doris turns to Prue.

DORIS (CONT’D)

Prue!

(opens her arms as she walks over to Prue)

How nice to see you, my dear.

PRUE

Doris!

Doris hugs Prue. Prue forces a smile. Then Doris breaks the hug and touches Prue’s belly.

DORIS

Nate said you were big, but ---

(looks at Prue)

Are you sure it’s just two?

Prue smiles.

PRUE

Pretty sure.

(pauses)

I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to visit you.

DORIS

Oh, nonsense.

(looks at Nate)

I’m so glad you allowed my son to stay with my grandson for a while.

PRUE

I’m glad you had a good time.

OFF TO THE ENTRANCE - Jessica comes in.

JESSICA

Am I interrupting?

They all turn to Jessica. She smiles at them.

NATE

Jess!

Jessica walks in. She pretends her belly is heavy. Jessica smiles.

NATE (CONT’D)

This is my mother.

JESSICA

I don’t think we’ve met before.

DORIS

Probably not.

NATE

Jessica is Wyatt’s wife.

DORIS

Oh, I see.

(points to Jessica’s belly)

You are big too. Are you expecting twins?

JESSICA

I hope not.

Jessica smiles. Doris smiles as well. Jessica looks at Prue.

JESSICA (CONT’D)

We can leave shopping day for another day. I didn’t know you were busy.

DORIS

Oh, please no.

PRUE

What?

DORIS

The three of us can go shopping.

NATE

Mom, they both are big.

Prue and Jessica shoot Nate a look.

NATE (CONT’D)

(to Prue)

I’m sorry, but you are. And ---

(stares at Prue and Jessica)

Are you friends now?

JESSICA

We are trying to.

DORIS

C’mon, son, if any of them feels like coming home, we cancel the shopping immediately. It’ll be good for bonding.

JESSICA

Sounds good to me.

Jessica looks at Prue. Prue gives in.

PRUE

Fine.

NATE

Great. I’m leaving baby Andy with ---

PRUE

Charlie will be glad to take care of him.

Nate nods. Prue and Nate stare at each other. Then Prue lowers her gaze.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ENTRANCE / FOYER / STAIRCASE - DAY

The front door opens and Ella comes in with a suitcase as Melinda comes walking downstairs.

MELINDA

Hey, you!

Ella looks at Melinda and smiles.

ELLA

Hey!

Ella closes the front door.

MELINDA

How was New Orleans?

ELLA

As vibrant as always.

Melinda smiles.

ELLA (CONT’D)

I really needed these days off with my mother.

MELINDA

How is she?

ELLA

As vibrant as New Orleans.

Both girls laugh.

ELLA (CONT’D)

What happened while I was off?

MELINDA

Well, Jessica and Prue became friends.

Ella didn’t see that coming.

ELLA

Excuse me?

MELINDA

Yeah. They are going shopping today.

ELLA

Jessica and Prue?

Melinda nods. Ella seems not to believe it.

ELLA (CONT’D)

Well, I didn’t see that coming.

MELINDA

At least we get a little peace between those two. This rivalry over Wyatt is driving ---

Suddenly Melinda shuts up as she realizes she’s spoken too much. Ella stares seriously at her.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

I didn’t ---

ELLA

You did and I was suspicious of it. Always have.

MELINDA

You have?

ELLA

My entire life. Besides, I know there’s something you guys aren’t telling me and I believe it is somehow related to those Twice Blessed Witches.

MELINDA

El ---

ELLA

If you are going to lie to me, Mel, please, don’t. I’ve been part of this family since I was a teenager. I just feel bad that you guys don’t trust me enough to tell me what’s going on.

Melinda and Ella stare at each other for a few seconds. Then Melinda sighs.

MELINDA

You’re right. It is time for you to know the truth.

They stare at each other seriously.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL / COOP MANOR - KITCHEN - DAY

ON CASSANDRA - She smiles big.

Cassandra is sitting at the kitchen island. Charlotte sits beside her staring at her. Charlotte is open-eyed.

CHARLOTTE

You and ---

It seems like Cassandra has just told her what happened between her and Johnathan. Cassandra doesn’t look at Charlotte.

CASSANDRA

We did.

Charlotte smiles big.

CHARLOTTE

I’m so happy for you.

Charlotte hugs her.

CHARLOTTE (CONT’D)

It was about time you get your own happy ending.

Charlotte breaks the hug. Cassandra turns to her and the smile fades from her face.

CASSANDRA

Well, we can’t call it a happy ending yet, can we?

CHARLOTTE

Right, because it’s just the beginning.

CASSANDRA

That’s not what I meant.

CHARLOTTE

Cass ---

CASSANDRA

You know we are living a fake life.

CHARLOTTE

Well, about that ---

Charlotte stands and walks over to the coffee machine and pours herself a cup of coffee.

CHARLOTTE (CONT’D)

We still can’t be 100% sure, but it looks like we won’t return to the moment we last remember of our previous life.

Cassandra glances at her sister.

CASSANDRA

We won’t?

Charlotte shakes her head.

CHARLOTTE

It’s been too long and we don’t know how it’ll affect us. If it was only Prue who kept the old memories --- but we all remember, so we can assume that we all were transported into this fake reality.

CASSANDRA

So, what do you mean? That we won’t go back there?

CHARLOTTE

I don’t know, Cass. This whole reality-warping thing is still a mystery. There’s still so much for us to learn.

CASSANDRA

So, we know nothing. We don’t know how to get out of this mess or who put us into this mess. We don’t know where we’ll get back to when we get out of here or if we get out of here at all. We don’t know where Jo and Matt are ---

(sighs)

We know nothing.

Both sisters stare at each other.

CHARLOTTE

We know one thing.

Charlotte puts the cup of coffee on the counter and walks over to her sister and takes her hands between hers.

CHARLOTTE (CONT’D)

We know that we are Warrens and we won’t get down without a fight.

Cassandra forces a smile.

CHARLOTTE (CONT’D)

Don’t waste time thinking about how it is going to be. Live the moment.

CASSANDRA

And be alert.

CHARLOTTE

And be alert.

Both sisters hug each other tightly. Then Cassandra breaks the hug.

CASSANDRA

Huh --- there’s something else I haven’t told you.

Charlotte stares seriously at Cassandra.

CASSANDRA (CONT’D)

I told him everything. About us being witches, I mean.

Charlotte is astonished.

CASSANDRA (CONT’D)

I told Johnathan our family secret.

ON CHARLOTTE - She’s more than astonished.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - ARMAND’S CAVE - DAY

CLOSE UP - Armand’s face. He laughs loudly.

Alexia is in front of Armand, staring seriously at him.

ALEXIA

What’s so funny?

Armand takes a few more seconds to calm down. Whatever she told him, made his day.

ARMAND

She really cut their heads off?

Alexia is serious while Armand tries to put a more serious look on his face.

ALEXIA

It’s not funny, Armand. That crazy bitch is vanquishing those who refuse to join her.

ARMAND

Were any of them part of our faction?

ALEXIA

No. But soon, she’ll want our members to join her faction.

ARMAND

She wouldn’t dare.

ALEXIA

She would.

Armand takes a deep breath and puts a more serious look on his face.

ARMAND

Let her try.

ALEXIA

She has become feared for a witch. She has the power to immobilize them. Then she orders this crazy Executioner Demon to cut their heads. I lost track of how many they were.

ARMAND

I thought Executioner Demons were rare.

ALEXIA

They are. I believe she found this one hiding in a village in England. She convinced him to join her.

Armand puts his hands on his waist.

ARMAND

She’s been wandering around for centuries. Why is she becoming popular just now?

ALEXIA

Rumors said she has gathered powers all over the centuries. But just after she found the Executioner Demon she felt bold to try her luck. More and more demons join her by the day.

ARMAND

And more and more demons join us.

ALEXIA

But you don’t threaten them to join you. She does.

Armand paces the cave. Alexia stares at him.

ARMAND

She won’t dare to mess with me.

ALEXIA

She has.

Armand looks at her.

ALEXIA (CONT’D)

She has invited a couple of our loyal demons to visit her. Besides, I suspect that she’s planning a move against them.

ARMAND

Them?

ALEXIA

The Destined Ones.

Armand doesn’t like to hear that.

ALEXIA (CONT’D)

The one thing required for a demon to claim the place of the leader of the Underworld.

ARMAND

That she won’t have.

ALEXIA

What are you gonna do to stop her?

ON ARMAND - He smirks.

ARMAND

Start a war if needed.

CLOSE UP - Armand’s face. He is serious.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - LEORA’S CAVE - DAY

A couple of demons stand there staring at Leora. She smirks. Leora wears a black, white, and red bodice and black leather pants. Her black hair falls loose on her shoulders.

LEORA

Kill them. Or better ---

(smiles big)

Bring them here. Maybe one of them just to start. I don’t want the fun over so soon. Bring any.

Leora rubs her hands.

LEORA (CONT’D)

Some heads will roll down. A charming head.

Whatever plan she’s planning, Leora seems very excited about it.

CUT TO:

EXT. BAY MIRROR - DAY

STILL view at the entrance of the building.

CUT TO:

INT. BAY MIRROR - REDACTION ROOM - DAY

VIEW at the open space as some workers are on their tasks.

Vera, the astrology columnist, seems very focused on her computer as she writes an article.

Melissa comes from Wyatt’s office and heads to her own desk which is in front of Vera’s. Melissa sits and starts working on her computer.

The mail boy passes by their desks and stops.

MAIL BOY

Mail for ya, Miss Jones.

Vera smiles. The mail boy hands her some envelopes.

VERA

Thanks.

MAIL BOY (CONT’D)

And some for you too, Mrs. Cooper.

MELISSA

Why do I get to be called Mrs.?

The mail boy doesn’t know what to say.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

Whatever. Hand me that.

The mail boy hands Melissa her mail and keeps his way. Melissa starts opening her mail while Vera checks hers. Suddenly, Vera’s expression hardens. It seems like she doesn’t like what came in the mail for her. Melissa notices it.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

Something wrong?

Vera looks at Melissa and tries to disguise, but she’s obviously shaken.

VERA

Oh, no. It’s just my readers. There’s good stuff in here.

MELISSA

You barely opened those letters.

VERA

I can tell.

Vera, still holding the envelope that made her nervous, stands and walks away as Melissa watches her. She can’t help but feel Vera’s attitude weird.

CUT TO:

INT. BAY MIRROR - WYATT’S OFFICE - DAY

Wyatt and Chris are there talking. Chris is pacing the room while Wyatt stares at him.

CHRIS

I’m just nervous because I don’t know how she would react.

WYATT

About the reality-warping or Bianca’s pregnancy?

Chris stops and stares at his brother.

CHRIS

I didn’t think about that.

Chris seems nervous.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

She’ll freak out.

WYATT

But she needs to know.

(stands)

Ella is not to be blamed for any of this and she needs to know what’s going on.

CHRIS

You are right, I know you are.

WYATT

Do you want me to go with you?

Chris shakes his head.

CHRIS

No. I better go alone. Mel will be there.

WYATT

Good.

Chris watches as Wyatt walks towards his desk and sits in front of his computer. Something is on his mind and somehow Chris notices it.

CHRIS

Have you seen Prue today?

Wyatt looks at his brother.

WYATT

I’m that transparent, aren’t I?

CHRIS

It lacks a shine on you.

Wyatt sighs.

WYATT

Nate is there. And his mother is coming today so Prue thought it was better not to leave.

CHRIS

And here I’m complaining about my situation.

Wyatt gives him a half-smile.

WYATT

Well, you have a reason to celebrate. How are you feeling about being a dad again?

Chris sits across the desk.

CHRIS

I’m happy, but ---

WYATT

But?

Chris sighs.

CHRIS

I will be happier the day I get my son back.

WYATT

Same here.

CHRIS

I wonder if they know that we are trying to get them back.

WYATT

I hope they do because the last time I saw her I didn’t remember who she was.

CHRIS

We’re gonna get them back.

(pauses)

The two of them.

Wyatt nods.

WYATT

Whatever it takes.

CHRIS

Whatever it takes.

Both of them look seriously at each other.

CUT TO:

INT. PLANE OF NOTHINGNESS - UNKNOWN TIME OF THE DAY

SOUND - A roar and babies crying out loud.

Jo, Christina, and Matt are next to the cribs. They glance around as the roar increases.

MATT

Maybe we should let go of hope and it’ll stop.

JO

Never.

Jo takes baby Tina from the crib and tries to quiet down the baby.

MATT

It would be better.

Sound - The roar is heard again.

JO

I said never.

Christina and Matt stare at Jo.

JO (CONT’D)

Not now that we know they remember us.

CHRISTINA

But there’s no way out.

JO

There has to be. I need to keep believing and so do you.

MATT

Until that Micaro breaks us.

JO

Micaro never had to break someone according to Loreto. So, he won’t break us.

CHRISTINA

You don’t know that.

JO

I know that whatever is happening back home, they are trying to find a way to reach us and they will.

Baby Tina gets calmer. Jo moves next to Baby Matt’s crib. The children keep looking at her as she now tries to quiet down Baby Matt.

JO (CONT’D)

Hush baby. It’s okay. We’ll be okay.

OFF TO LORETO - She uses DARK WISHPING to appear.

LORETO

You don’t give up, do you?

They all look at Loreto.

JO

And you don’t understand I can’t just give up.

LORETO

Leave the baby. Come with me.

JO

I’m not gonna leave them alone.

LORETO

It’ll be for a little while. I need to show you something.

Jo and Loreto stare at each other for a few moments. Then Jo puts Baby Matt on the crib and glances at Christina and Matt.

CHRISTINA

We’ll be okay.

Matt nods. Then Jo walks over to Loreto.

JO

What’s that you want to show me?

LORETO

Come with me.

Loreto turns around and walks away. Jo follows her. Christina and Matt stare at each other.

CUT TO:

EXT. P3 - DAY

STILL.

CUT TO:

INT. P3 - DANCING FLOOR / COUNTER - DAY

Bianca and Tamora are there. Bianca is preparing some drinks. Then she hands one to Tamora and she takes the other one.

TAMORA

Wait. Can you?

Tamora looks at the glass and then and Bianca.

BIANCA

Drink it.

Tamora has a sip of the drink.

TAMORA

It’s good.

BIANCA

And there’s not a single drop of alcohol in it.

Tamora’s eyes widen.

BIANCA (CONT’D)

Especially made for moms to be.

TAMORA

It’s so great.

Bianca has a sip of hers.

BIANCA

I created it a few weeks ago when I found out I was pregnant. How could I survive all this without alcohol?

Tamora smiles.

TAMORA

Focusing on that baby that’s coming.

Bianca smiles and touches her belly.

TAMORA (CONT’D)

You really are a good mother, B. Missing a child you don’t even remember ---

(sighs)

I wouldn’t want to be in your place or Prue’s.

BIANCA

Yeah. I caught her. Last night. She and Nate are not okay. And I found her crying on the balcony. She didn’t see me, but I heard her calling for Tina.

Tamora half-smiles.

TAMORA

That’s how she calls Jo.

Bianca nods.

BIANCA

So, how are Junior and Pan?

Tamora rolls her eyes.

TAMORA

The worse. Junior is still mad because Melissa was tired of Junior’s shadow on her. Pan is devastated that her relationship with Ethan is on a break.

BIANCA

But they will be okay, right?

TAMORA

Yeah, as soon as we get back to our normal life.

BIANCA

Will that be even possible? I mean, we’ve lost a lot.

TAMORA

Well, it has to.

OFF TO SOMEONE ORBING IN - Alex ORBS in and stares at them.

ALEX

She’s made her mind.

Tamora and Bianca look at Alex.

ALEX (CONT’D)

Michaela wants her powers back.

Tamora and Bianca glance at each other.

TAMORA

Let’s get on with it, then. We need to get out of this new normal ASAP.

Bianca nods. Alex looks at them.

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ENTRANCE / FOYER - DAY

Chris walks in through the front door.

CHRIS

Mel?

MELINDA (V.O.)

We’re here.

Chris hears Melinda’s voice from the sitting room. He walks towards it.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - SITTING ROOM - DAY

Melinda and Ella are sitting there. Chris comes in. Ella stands and looks at Chris. They stare at each other.

ELLA

Hi.

CHRIS

Hi.

Melinda stands and stares at them.

ELLA

Well, what the hell is going on? How big is the mess we are in that you’ve kept me in the dark for months?

CHRIS

El ---

Chris is cut off by the arrival of some unexpected visitors.

ON THE DEMONS THAT WERE SEEN WITH LEORA - They SHIMMER in behind Ella and Melinda.

Chris sees them.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

I think we’ll have to wait.

Melinda and Ella turn around. Chris uses TELEKINESIS to throw the demons back into the conservatory room. Soon, they stand.

MELINDA

Seriously?!

ON ANOTHER TWO DEMONS - They SHIMMER in behind Chris.

No one sees the other demons as they are focused on the other two. Chris holds out his right hand and starts using CRUSHING on one of the demons. The demon holds his chest.

ELLA

Those damn freaks have a heart. How surprising!

The other one walks towards Melinda who FREEZES him. Then suddenly, Chris is grab by one of the other demons.

CHRIS

What ---

The demon SHIMMERS out taking Chris. Ella and Melinda look at it. The demon Chris was using his power against, approaches Ella and grabs her.

MELINDA

Ella!

And SHIMMERS out taking Ella. The other demon walks towards Melinda, but she reaches out her hand and ---

SURPRISINGLY, her ASTRAL SELF appears and grabs Melinda’s hand, ORBING them both out.

The frozen demon starts moving. Both demons glance at each other and then they SHIMMER out.

INT. PRESCOTT GROUP - CEO’S OFFICE - DAY

CLOSE UP - Nate’s face. He seems shocked.

NATE

She did what?

Johnathan is sitting across from him.

JOHNATHAN

How come you never did?

NATE

I --- I --- I mean, why did she?

JOHNATHAN

How long have you known about this?

NATE

Why did she tell you?

JOHNATHAN

Witches, Nate. They are real.

None of them are answering each other's questions.

NATE

She shouldn’t have exposed the secret.

JOHNATHAN

You are married to a witch.

NATE

Johnathan!

Nate stands.

NATE (CONT’D)

I need a drink.

Nate walks towards the bar and pours himself something to drink.

JOHNATHAN

How long have you known?

Nate has a sip of his drink and then turns to Johnathan.

NATE

Years.

JOHNATHAN

Of course.

NATE

Are you okay with that?

Johnathan smiles.

JOHNATHAN

I freaked out a bit, but I guess nothing surprises me anymore.

NATE

Normally, people get really freaked out.

JOHNATHAN

So, all of you know?

NATE

You haven’t answered my question. Why did she tell you?

Johnathan stands and walks towards the bar. He pours himself a drink while Nate stares at him and sees how Johnathan smiles big.

NATE (CONT’D)

You two ---

Johnathan glances at Nate with a big smile on his face.

JOHNATHAN

We might become brothers-in-law in law eventually. I mean, eventually. We are just dating.

Nate doesn’t know if he should be happy or not.

NATE

Johnathan ---

JOHNATHAN

Don’t worry.

NATE

She’s not like the others you’ve met.

JOHNATHAN

I know, and I’m glad she isn’t. There are actually a few things I wanted to tell you about me, but first, I want to know, how are you?

Nate lowers his gaze.

JOHNATHAN (CONT’D)

I noticed you came looking down.

Nate looks at Johnathan.

NATE

She told me she doesn’t love me. Not the way I thought she did.

Johnathan’s eyes widen.

NATE (CONT’D)

She was rude. Heartless.

JOHNATHAN

What else did she say?

NATE

Nothing. We’re gonna have to have a serious conversation once my mother gets back home.

JOHNATHAN

I guess Halliwell women are complicated, huh?

Nate smiles sarcastically.

NATE

You have no idea.

Johnathan is supportive of Nate.

Prue is sitting on one of the couches staring at Jessica and Doris as they take baby clothing out of the bags and comment about them.

JESSICA

(about a pink sleepsuit)

This one is so beautiful.

DORIS

I can’t believe you’re having a girl too.

JESSICA

Yeah. Well, Wyatt doesn’t know. I haven’t told him. I want him to be surprised. His first child will be a girl.

DORIS

When will the babyshowers take place?

PRUE

There won’t be.

Jessica and Doris look at Prue.

PRUE (CONT’D)

I mean, not for my girls at least. I don’t want to.

DORIS

But it’d be great. I remember Andrew’s baby shower.

JESSICA

I wasn’t there.

(looks at Prue)

Back then, Prue and I were not friends.

DORIS

Well, I am so glad you made amends. What if we do a double baby shower? I could organize it.

PRUE

I said, no.

They stare at Prue again.

PRUE (CONT’D)

I’m not in the mood, I’m sorry.

DORIS

Are you feeling alright?

PRUE

I’m just tired.

(caresses her belly)

There’s two this time.

JESSICA

Well, I could ---

SOUND - DOORBELL.

Doris turns and heads towards the front door. She opens it.

BEAT. Sebastian is there.

DORIS

Oh, Mr. Whitmore. What a pleasure!

SEBASTIAN

Mrs. Howe? I didn’t know you were in town.

Sebastian and Doris greet each other. Doris signs him to come in.

DORIS

I came to spend a couple of days with my son, grandson, and daughter-in-law.

PRUE

Sebastian?

Sebastian looks at Prue and as he does he notices Jessica there.

SEBASTIAN

Jessica?

JESSICA

Hi!

Sebastian forces a smile.

SEBASTIAN

(to Prue)

I came to talk to you. But if you are busy ---

PRUE

Nonsense.

Prue tries to stand. Sebastian rushes to her and helps her stand.

SEBASTIAN

You are big.

Prue shoots her a look.

SEBASTIAN (CONT’D)

It’s a good thing.

Prue’s expression softens.

PRUE

Follow me.

Prue heads to the balcony. Sebastian follows her. Doris and Jessica look at each other.

DORIS

Seems important.

JESSICA

(forces a smile)

Indeed.

Jessica looks at where Prue and Sebastian left.

CUT TO:

INT. PRUE’S CONDO - EXT. BALCONY - DAY

Prue and Sebastian stare at each other.

SEBASTIAN

I didn’t know you and Jessica were friends now.

Prue stares seriously at him.

PRUE

Well, she kinda helped me the other day. We are trying.

Sebastian looks away. Prue notices he has something to share.

PRUE (CONT’D)

What is it?

Sebastian looks at her. He takes a deep breath.

SEBASTIAN

It was exactly about Jessica that I came to talk about.

Now Prue is even more interested.

PRUE

What?

Sebastian takes a deep breath.

SEBASTIAN

I saw her, Prue. In the Underworld. When we got the magic lamp from Armand. I’m almost sure she was there. With Armand.

PRUE

What?

SEBASTIAN

Maybe I was wrong. Maybe it wasn’t her.

PRUE

It was.

Prue turns around and starts pacing the place.

PRUE (CONT’D)

I knew I couldn’t trust her.

(turns to him)

Does Wyatt know?

Sebastian shakes his head.

SEBASTIAN

I just told Tam. She told me I should tell you.

PRUE

You did well.

SEBASTIAN

This doesn’t mean she’s the one who screwed our lives.

PRUE

It seems very plausible that she has something to do with it.

Sebastian has more to say but doesn’t know how to. Prue notices it.

PRUE (CONT’D)

There’s more, isn’t it?

Sebastian takes a deep breath again.

SEBASTIAN

There’s one detail. I didn’t even mention it to Tam because ---

PRUE

Spit it out.

SEBASTIAN

She didn’t seem pregnant.

Prue’s eyes widen. Soon, a smile starts appearing on her face.

PRUE

Of course. She isn’t.

SEBASTIAN

Prue ---

PRUE

No. I was right. All this time. I didn’t trust her.

SEBASTIAN

What are you going to do?

A wicked smile appears on Prue’s face.

PRUE

I’m gonna play her game.

Prue smirks. Sebastian stares seriously at her.

CUT TO:

INT. PRUE’S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - DAY (SHORTLY AFTER)

Jessica and Doris are still checking the baby's clothing. Prue comes in followed by Sebastian.

PRUE

Let’s do it.

Jessica and Doris look at Prue.

PRUE (CONT’D)

A baby shower. Let’s do it.

Prue smirks. Jessica and Doris smile. Sebastian looks seriously at Prue.

EXT. BAY MIRROR - DAY

STILL.

CUT TO:

INT. BAY MIRROR - WYATT’S OFFICE - DAY

ON WYATT - He’s astonished.

Both Melindas stare at him.

ASTRAL MELINDA

I got just in time to orb her out of there.

Wyatt glances from one Melinda to another.

WYATT

(to Astral Melinda)

I didn’t know you had a will of your own.

MELINDA

Oh, she can be very independent when I freak out.

ASTRAL MELINDA

Which was the case.

MELINDA

Leave now.

Astral Melinda grimaces and then disappears. Melinda turns to Wyatt.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

We need to find Chris.

WYATT

Any idea who took him?

MELINDA

Didn’t have time to look over it, but I’m guessing it has something to do with the factions.

OFF TO THE DOOR - It opens and Melissa comes in.

MELISSA

Wyatt, I need to talk to you. It’s about Vera.

Melissa looks at Melinda.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

Hey! When did you come in?

MELINDA

Just did.

Melinda waves her hands to explain she was orbed in.

MELISSA

Right. Something wrong?

WYATT

Chris was taken.

MELINDA

And so was Ella.

Wyatt turns to Melinda. It seems like she kept that part.

WYATT

Ella?

MELINDA

She was there.

MELISSA

Don’t you guys get bored?

Melinda and Wyatt look at Melissa.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

(sighs)

Never mind. I can wait. Go save Chris and Ella.

Wyatt turns to Melinda.

WYATT

I can’t orb out without leaving this office.

MELINDA

Orb me out. I’ll wait for you at home.

WYATT

Don’t call Prue.

MELINDA

Don’t worry, she might be busy with her new friend and mother-in-law.

Wyatt WAVES his hand and ORBS Melinda out. Then he turns to Melissa.

WYATT

Take care of this for me, would you?

Melissa shrugs.

MELISSA

Yes, boss.

Wyatt walks out of the office. Melissa looks at Wyatt’s desk and smirks.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

He said to take care of this for him so, ---

Melissa smiles and walks over to Wyatt’s desk. She sits in his chair.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

Maybe I can play the boss for a little while.

Melissa smirks. She has got an idea.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - CAVE - DAY

ON MALE HANDCUFFED HANDS - They are red for the handcuff pressure on the skin.

Chris and Ella are handcuffed to the wall. Both standing. Ella seems to be unconscious as her head falls down. Chris glances at her.

CHRIS

Ella?

Nothing. Chris glances around.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

El?

Ella starts moving her head slowly. She’s recovering her senses and takes a while to realize where she has been taken to as she glances around.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

Hey, El?

Finally, Ella glances at her side and sees Chris staring at her.

ELLA

(confused)

Chris? What happened?

CHRIS

Are you feeling okay?

ELLA

My head hurts and I feel confused.

CHRIS

Normal. We were hit on the head when they brought us here.

ELLA

Where are they?

CHRIS

I have no idea. When I woke up we were already handcuffed to the wall. And our powers don’t work. The handcuffs.

Ella glances around.

ELLA

So, you have no clue who took us and why.

CHRIS

Factions.

Ella and Chris look at each other.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

My best guess.

Ella starts getting her normal colors back on her face.

ELLA

How lucky!

Chris glances at her.

ELLA (CONT’D)

You’re trying to divorce me and got stuck with me here.

CHRIS

You are not a bad company.

ELLA

(sarcastic)

Not bad.

(looks at him)

There was a day I thought I had an infectious disease. You didn’t want to be close to me.

CHRIS

I was trying not to hurt you.

ELLA

You did.

(lowers her gaze)

You are.

CHRIS

I didn’t mean to.

ELLA

I know. But you do.

Ella looks at Chris and drops her walls as tears start to form in her eyes showing her true emotions. It might be the first time we see her true feelings.

ELLA (CONT’D)

Every time I see you with her, I ---

A tear runs down her face.

ELLA (CONT’D)

I hurt. It does. If we hadn’t lived all we lived, ---

(another tear runs down her face)

--- if we hadn’t loved each other the way we did ---

(sniffs)

--- maybe it wouldn’t hurt this much.

Chris stares at her. His own eyes get wet.

CHRIS

I didn’t mean to, El. I believed I loved you.

ELLA

What changed?

Both of them stare at each other deeply in the eyes.

CHRIS

Everything. Everything we know here is fake.

Ella frowns.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

We are not married. Not where I come from at least.

ELLA

What?

CHRIS

We Warrens were victims of a reality-warping curse.

ON ELLA’S FACE - It is clear that she is astonished at what she heard from Chris’ mouth.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE - DAY

STILL VIEW at the San Francisco icon.

CUT TO:

INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - MAIN LIBRARY - DAY

Tamora, Pandora, Bianca, Alex, and Michaela are there. Michaela is staring at them all. She has taken a decision.

TAMORA

What does your father think of this?

MICHAELA

He told me to do what I think it’s best for me.

ALEX

Won’t it be dangerous?

BIANCA

Of course, it will. For two reasons. The person behind this can be aware of what she’s doing and try to mess with her and ---

PANDORA

He or she will find out we know.

Pandora, who seemed very quietly in her corner, knows what she’s saying.

PANDORA (CONT’D)

We have to be 100% sure that this is a good idea. From the moment Michaela gets back to her visions, that demon will be aware.

MICHAELA

I’m willing to risk.

ALEX

You saw them.

Michaela looks at Alex.

ALEX (CONT’D)

The Hazel eyes. Are you sure you can’t remember who ---

MICHAELA

I said I can.

Michaela sounds a little annoyed. She sighs.

MICHAELA (CONT’D)

Sorry.

Alex gives her a half-smile.

OFF TO JUNIOR - He ORBS in. Everybody looks at him.

JUNIOR

Got it.

Junior seems serious. He walks over to Tamora and hands her a piece of paper.

JUNIOR (CONT’D)

It’s the spell mom wrote to unbind her powers.

Tamora takes the piece of paper and unfolds it. She has a look at it and then at Junior.

TAMORA

Would you like to stay?

Junior shakes his head.

JUNIOR

Just get this over with.

And that said, he ORBS out. Tamora sighs.

MICHAELA

What’s wrong with him?

PANDORA

Is there anything right?

All of them turn to Pandora. Her eyes suddenly get wet.

PANDORA (CONT’D)

He, like the rest of us, wants his life back.

BIANCA

We know.

PANDORA

This has taken too long. I want my life back. I want my boyfriend back.

TAMORA

Sis, we know.

PANDORA

(mad)

No.

Tears start running down Pandora’s face.

PANDORA (CONT’D)

You’ve kept your boyfriend and your perfect life altogether, Tam. I haven’t.

TAMORA

My perfect life?

Tamora gets raged.

TAMORA (CONT’D)

What’s there that makes it perfect when I have to deal with my whole family living a nightmare? What’s there that makes it perfect when I had a niece and a nephew that I also lost?

Bianca lowers her gaze.

TAMORA (CONT’D)

I’ve lost too, Pan. And I suffer just every time I see my twin sister and my brother suffering.

Pandora lowers her gaze.

TAMORA (CONT’D)

So, yes, I know. I know how you feel.

Pandora looks at her sister.

PANDORA

Sorry.

Tamora and Pandora look at each other deeply in the eyes.

PANDORA (CONT’D)

Sorry, I didn’t mean to ---

TAMORA

I know.

ALEX

Let’s get this over with so we can go back to our lives.

Tamora turns to Michaela.

TAMORA

Are you really sure?

ON MICHAELA - She is serious.

MICHAELA

As sure as I’ll ever be.

Tamora nods. Then she looks at the paper. Pandora approaches her sister.

PANDORA

Are two Warrens enough?

Tamora nods.

TAMORA

Even one is. We must accept once and for all that there’s nothing more powerful than a Warren and the faith we have in ourselves.

Pandora holds her sister’s hand.

PANDORA

I’m proud of the woman you’ve become, sis.

Tamora glances at her sister and half-smiles.

TAMORA

Let’s do it.

Both sisters look at the paper. Alex and Bianca stare at them as they chant. Michaela stares at the twins.

TAMORA / PANDORA

‘No strings

No ties

No bandages

I undo the knots

That bound your powers

From now until the end of times

Your powers I untwine.’

Some magical strings surround Michaela the moment the twins finish the spell. Michaela closes her eyes as she feels the magic running through her veins again. The magical strings seem like they are untangling and soon they disappear. Michaela opens her eyes and looks at the others. Then she holds the palm of her hand up and FIRE appears. She holds a FIRE FLAME in her hands.

ON MICHAELA - She smirks.

CUT TO:

INT. PRUE’S CONDO - BATHROOM - DAY

Prue comes into the bathroom and closes the door behind her. She walks towards the sink and stares at herself on the mirror.

PRUE

I knew it.

Prue breaths fast. She keeps staring at herself in the mirror. Then, out of a sudden, the lights are turned off to be turned on again. Prue glances around.

PRUE (CONT’D)

What was that?!

Prue keeps glancing around. And out of a sudden, she hears a voice she thought was long gone.

GADREEL (V.O.)

Prue!

Prue freezes. She recognizes the voice as being the Fallen Angel Gadreel’s voice.

PRUE

No.

Prue starts shaking.

PRUE (CONT’D)

No, no, no.

GADREEL (V.O.)

Prue, it’s me. I’m back.

Prue starts breathing fast.

PRUE

It can’t be. No.

Prue closes her eyes. She is very nervous.

PRUE (CONT’D)

It can’t be you. Not you.

GADREEL (V.O.)

It’s me.

And BEAT. Beside her, someone appears in an INVISIBLE ASTRAL FORM. It is Jared. His lips move but it’s Gadreel’s voice that can be heard.

PRUE

No.

GADREEL / JARED

It’s me, Prue.

PRUE

No.

SOUND - A knock on the door.

Prue turns to the door. Jared DISAPPEARS.

DORIS (V.O.)

Prue?

Prue opens the door. Doris stands there looking at Prue.

DORIS (CONT’D)

Are you feeling okay, dear?

Prue forces a smile.

PRUE

Of course.

DORIS

Are you sure you want the baby shower to be tonight?

Prue nods.

PRUE

Tonight will be perfect. You won’t be here too long so ---

Doris smiles.

DORIS

Great.

Doris smiles.

DORIS (CONT’D)

Then we have a lot to prepare.

Prue nods. Doris turns around and leaves. Prue turns around and glances around the bathroom. She gets serious.

PRUE

You won’t mess with me again.

Prue swallows and turns around and walks out of the bathroom.

Wyatt is by the Book of Shadows turning page after page. Melinda is by the table, the cauldron is in front of her and smoke comes out of it. Wyatt glances at her every now and then.

WYATT

What are those potions for?

MELINDA

(glances at Wyatt)

We’ve run out of vanquishing potions with all the haunting, so ---

(throws something into the cauldron)

Any luck?

WYATT

There must be normal demons.

MELINDA

Freak demons you mean.

WYATT

Still. There is nothing here.

MELINDA

Maybe Armand.

WYATT

He’s not the only leader of factions. And there’s no other here that would qualify to be.

MELINDA

Still, Armand is my best guess.

Wyatt closes the Book of Shadows. He sighs. Then he takes his cell phone from his pants pocket. Melinda watches as he presses the call bottom.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

Who are you calling?

WYATT

Prue.

MELINDA

Are you telling her?

Wyatt looks at Melinda. She shoots him an ‘it might not be a good idea’ look. Then he turns off the phone.

WYATT

You’re right.

MELINDA

I got a text from Jess.

Melinda takes her own phone from the table and hands it to Wyatt. Wyatt reads the text. Then he looks astonished at Melinda.

WYATT

Baby shower?

Melinda nods.

MELINDA

I guess I’m invited.

Wyatt hands Melinda’s phone back to her.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

We should focus on finding Chris and Ella.

WYATT

I know, I just ---

MELINDA

You miss her.

Wyatt lowers down his gaze.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

I don’t mean Prue.

Wyatt stares at Melinda.

WYATT

My daughter.

Tears start forming in Wyatt’s eyes. He’s near breaking. Melinda can feel the sadness from him.

WYATT (CONT’D)

It’s been too long.

MELINDA

I know, honey.

Melinda walks over to him and hugs him. Wyatt lets his sister hug him. He needs that hug.

WYATT

It’s my daughter, Mel.

(tears run down his face)

I want Tina back.

MELINDA

Me too.

WYATT

I need to get her back. We were supposed to be together. The three of us. And now that the twins are coming ---

(sobs)

I wish they could have their big sister near them.

MELINDA

They will.

Melinda breaks the hug and grabs Wyatt’s face between her hands.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

Listen to me. We are going to get Tina back. No matter what, we will.

Wyatt nods. Melinda forces a smile.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

I was wondering when would you break.

Wyatt swallows.

WYATT

I was trying to hold myself together.

MELINDA

For Prue?

Wyatt nods.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

You don’t need to be a rock all the time, you know?

WYATT

She’s pregnant, Mel. I need to be her rock.

Melinda half-smiles.

MELINDA

After all this time, Wyatt? Do you still feel like you have to protect her after all this time?

WYATT

Always, Mel. Always.

Melinda smiles.

MELINDA

We need to speak to Bianca’s contact. She might know something.

Wyatt nods.

WYATT

Thanks, sis.

Both brother and sister stare at each other.

INT. UNDERWORLD - CAVE - DAY

Chris and Ella are still handcuffed to the wall. Ella has a shocked look on her face. Chris stares at her waiting for her to say something.

CHRIS

El?

ELLA

It’s not possible. It can’t be.

CHRIS

It is.

Ella stares at Chris.

ELLA

Reality-warping?

Chris nods.

ELLA (CONT’D)

Do you, guys, believe that we are living in an alternate reality?

Chris nods again.

CHRIS

I and my family were transported to this reality.

ELLA

Only you? How convenient!

CHRIS

Well, that’s what we think. There are lots of things we don’t know.

ELLA

And we were never married?

Chris shakes his head.

CHRIS

I never went to that date. Our first date.

ELLA

Oh, you did. I remember well.

CHRIS

I know. But it’s not real.

Ella’s expression hardens.

ELLA

Not real? God, Chris, all these years felt real to me.

CHRIS

I know. But they are not. I am married to Bianca and we have a child. Our first child is Matt.

ELLA

A child? Where is that child?

CHRIS

I don’t know.

ELLA

So, that’s why Prue seemed so confused all these months ago?

Chris nods.

CHRIS

Prue and Jo were traveling in time when it happened. That’s why they remember.

ELLA

And Jo is ---

CHRIS

Prue’s daughter.

ELLA

Right. So Tina and Jo are Prue’s daughter.

CHRIS

No. Jo and Tina are the same person. Tina came back in time using the name Jo. Actually, she chose to be called Jo.

ELLA

Right. So, Jo is gone now.

CHRIS

Yes. She faded.

ELLA

Faded. Does Nate know?

Chris stares seriously at Ella.

ELLA (CONT’D)

Wait. Nate is not Jo’s father, right? He’s not in the picture.

Chris nods.

ELLA (CONT’D)

Wyatt.

CHRIS

(sarcastic)

Well, that was easy.

ELLA

It isn’t. I pay attention.

Ella sighs. She looks away.

ELLA (CONT’D)

Only that I didn’t notice all that was happening around me.

CHRIS

So, you believe me?

Ella glances at Chris.

ELLA

I do.

(forces a smile)

That’s the only thing that can explain what’s happening.

They stare at each other.

ELLA (CONT’D)

But there’s more, isn’t it?

Chris nods.

CHRIS

Bianca is pregnant.

Ella smiles sarcastically.

ELLA

Right. Pregnant.

Chris nods.

CHRIS

I just found out.

ELLA

So, ---

Ella is cut off by Leora’s arrival.

LEORA

Well, well, well.

Chris and Ella look at Leora who comes in followed by a couple of demons.

LEORA (CONT’D)

Look what came down the rabbit hole.

Leora walks over to them.

CHRIS

Who the hell are you?

Leora smirks and stares at Chris.

LEORA

Are you trying to make me lose my temper?

Leora gets inches from Chris.

LEORA (CONT’D)

I warn you, child --- If I lose my temper, you lose your head.

Chris and Leora stare seriously at each other. Then Leora smirks.

LEORA (CONT’D)

I’m the Queen of Hearts.

Ella lets out a sarcastic laugh. Leora turns to Ella and gets serious.

LEORA (CONT’D)

Did I say something funny?

Ella glances at Leora.

ELLA

What made you leave Wonderland?

LEORA

It wasn’t Alice for sure.

Leora approaches Ella. She touches Ella’s hair.

LEORA (CONT’D)

You could be my Alice.

ELLA

Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not Alice.

LEORA

But you could lose your head.

Ella gets serious.

LEORA (CONT'D)

See, I am known down here as the Queen of Hearts because I tend to be very fond of heads off.

Leora glances from Chris to Ella.

LEORA (CONT’D)

And as you must be aware, there’s a battle to conquer the leadership of the Underworld. I am the leader of one faction and I intend to lead the Underworld to a new Golden Age.

(smirks)

For that to happen, only one thing is required.

Leora gives his back on them.

LEORA (CONT’D)

The Destined Ones must get off the way.

(turns to them)

I asked for one. I’ve got two.

Chris and Ella looked at each other. Then they turn to Leora.

ELLA

Oh, you think I am a Destined One?

(laughs)

What a queen! I am not.

LEORA

What?

ELLA

I’m married to one, but I’m not one of them.

Leora gets serious.

ELLA (CONT'D)

You’ll win nothing by cutting my head off.

Leora turns around and gets thoughtful.

LEORA

It won’t matter. I’ve lost my temper already.

Leora starts moving over to the exit but stops before heading out.

LEORA (CONT’D)

Let’s get them ready for the sentence.

The demons nod. Leora walks out of the cave. The demons follow. Chris and Ella glance at each other.

CHRIS

We are screwed.

ELLA

Let’s hope the others find us soon.

CHRIS

Indeed.

Both stare seriously at each other.

ARMAND

She really dared to.

ALEXIA

I told you. We must make a move. She can’t win.

ARMAND

She won’t.

Armand is thoughtful.

ALEXIA

What are the plans?

Armand looks seriously at her.

ARMAND

Gather a few demons together. We are going up against her.

ALEXIA

She has the power to ---

ARMAND

Immobilize. Yes, I know. But I can burn her to death and believe me, Seer, I plan to.

Alexia smirks.

ALEXIA

I like to hear you being evil.

ARMAND

That’s what I am, Seer. Evil.

Alexia and Armand stare at each other.

Tamora, Pandora, Bianca, and Alex stare at her. Pandora walks towards Michaela and hands her a cup.

PANDORA

Are you really sure of this?

Michaela nods.

PANDORA (CONT’D)

If anything happens, come out.

MICHAELA

This time he won’t scare me.

ALEX

Still, you need to come back immediately.

Michaela nods. Pandora hands her the cup and Michaela drinks the liquid to the end. She lays back and closes her eyes. It doesn’t take long for her to get into a deep dream.

TAMORA

Mica?

Michaela doesn’t answer.

TAMORA (CONT’D)

She’s asleep.

ALEX

Now what?

BIANCA

We wait.

OFF TO WYATT - He ORBS in bringing Melinda.

MELINDA

Hey!

Tamora, Pandora, Bianca, and Alex turn to Wyatt and Melinda.

TAMORA

Hey! What’s going on?

MELINDA

We need ---

Melinda and Wyatt notice Michaela laying on the couch.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

Is she ---?

BIANCA

Dreaming. She wanted her powers back.

WYATT

Watch her. If Hazel eyes find out ---

TAMORA

Let’s have faith, Wy. Let’s trust that she’ll find something.

WYATT

Hope is the only thing I have right now, Tam.

MELINDA

Yeah, and we also have a missing Destined One and his not real wife.

BIANCA

What?

MELINDA

Bianca, we need you to be calm.

BIANCA

Calm? Wait.

Bianca realizes what’s going on.

BIANCA (CONT’D)

Chris.

Melinda and Wyatt nod.

WYATT

Chris and Ella were taken.

PANDORA

Who?

WYATT

That’s what we’re trying to find out. Bianca, do you think you can get us in touch with that contact of yours down there?

Bianca is nervous. She nods.

BIANCA

Yes, of course. I’ll go with you.

WYATT

No. Chris wouldn’t forgive me if something happens to you.

BIANCA

But I ---

MELINDA

B, you’re pregnant. We’ll take care of it.

TAMORA

I’ll go with you, guys.

(turns to Bianca)

We’ll find him. And Ella too.

Bianca swallows.

BIANCA

I’ll call Rae. Go to P3. She’ll find you there.

Wyatt nods. Then Wyatt ORBS out taking Melinda. Tamora turns to the others.

TAMORA

Sis ---

PANDORA

I know. Go.

Tamora nods. Then she ORBS out. Pandora turns to Bianca and Alex.

Nate is sitting across the desk from her. He is serious.

NATE

Do you really think this is funny?

CASSANDRA

(not stopping laughing)

Are you kidding me? Your expression is priceless.

NATE

Cassandra, you just told him you were a witch.

Cassandra tries to calm down.

CASSANDRA

Actually, I told him that I come from a family of witches.

NATE

What I said!

CASSANDRA

Nate, ---

Cassandra and Nate stare seriously at each other.

CASSANDRA (CONT’D)

I had to tell him. I didn’t want to start a relationship with this secret.

NATE

What would you do if he freaked out?

CASSANDRA

A spell. To make him forget.

NATE

Did you have a spell with you when you told him?

CASSANDRA

Of course, not. I wasn’t even planning to tell him.

NATE

But you did.

Cassandra nods. Nate takes a deep breath.

NATE (CONT’D)

Do your sisters know?

CASSANDRA

I told Charlie this morning.

NATE

Well, you should tell Prue too.

CASSANDRA

I will. Later at the baby shower.

NATE

Baby shower?

CASSANDRA

Yeah. Your mother is planning a double baby shower.

NATE

Is she?

CASSANDRA

You didn’t know?

NATE

There’s a lot of things I don’t know.

Cassandra notices Nate got down out of a sudden.

CASSANDRA

Nate, I’m sure you’ll understand once Prue tells you what’s going on.

NATE

So, you know?

Cassandra forces a smile.

NATE (CONT’D)

It must be bad.

CASSANDRA

Nate ---

Nate stands.

NATE

No, Cass, it’s okay. Or it isn’t, but I’ll pretend it’s okay.

Nate turns around and walks over to the door. As Nate opens the door to leave, Johnathan walks in.

JOHNATHAN

Hey!

NATE

Bye.

Nate walks out of the office. Johnathan stares at Cassandra.

CASSANDRA

(shrugs)

Prue.

JOHNATHAN

Right.

Johnathan closes the door. He then walks over to Cassandra, leans, and kisses her softly.

JOHNATHAN (CONT’D)

You didn’t come to see me.

CASSANDRA

Oh! Was I supposed to?

Johnathan shoots her a look.

JOHNATHAN

I’m your boyfriend.

CASSANDRA

When did that happen? I thought we were trying.

JOHNATHAN

You told me your secret so, that makes me more than just the guy you date.

Cassandra smiles. She stands and wraps her arms around his neck.

CASSANDRA

It does. I still can believe I told you.

JOHNATHAN

I want to know everything. Everything about you interestes me, Cassandra Halliwell.

Cassandra smiles but is not a big smile. Johnathan notices it.

JOHNATHAN (CONT’D)

Is there something else you want to tell me?

Cassandra looks at him.

CASSANDRA

There is, but it’s not the moment to tell you. Not yet.

JOHNATHAN

I won’t push it.

CASSANDRA

(smiles)

Thanks.

JOHNATHAN

Can we have dinner tonight?

CASSANDRA

I can’t.

Johnathan shoots her a look.

CASSANDRA (CONT’D)

It’s not like that. My nieces’ baby shower is tonight.

JOHNATHAN

Oh, I see.

CASSANDRA

But ---

JOHNATHAN

But ---?

CASSANDRA

I might be able to beam in your bed after is finished.

A wicked smile forms on Johnathan’s face.

JOHNATHAN

I like that idea.

CASSANDRA

Me too.

Cassandra and Johnathan kiss passionately.

Melissa comes from Wyatt’s office. She’s on the phone trying to get in touch with Junior, but from the look on her face, it’s clear that she hasn’t succeeded.

MELISSA

Damn!

Vera is at her desk. She stares at her computer screen, but it’s clear she’s not seeing anything. She’s like lost. Melissa grimaces. She glances around the redaction room and stares at Vera. She notices Vera’s attitude. Melissa walks over to Vera’s desk.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

Are you okay?

Vera doesn’t answer. She is really lost in her thoughts.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

Vera?

Vera comes from her thoughts. She looks at Melissa who stands right next to the desk.

VERA

Sorry, what?

MELISSA

Are you okay? You seemed away.

Vera disguises.

VERA

I am. I just --- huh ---

Vera starts gathering together the stuff on her desk.

VERA (CONT’D)

It’s just the book. I’m having some issues.

MELISSA

Can I help with something?

Vera looks at Melissa.

VERA

You don’t mean it. You think my work is a lost of time.

MELISSA

I do. But it doesn’t mean I don’t care. If it is important for the magazine then it is important to me.

VERA

Well, you don’t need to worry, I’m doing fine.

Vera picks a few things from her desk and stands. Then she just turns around and walks away. Melissa watches as she leaves. Melissa sighs. She glances around and ---

BEAT. Junior stands at the entrance staring seriously at her.

Wyatt and Melinda are there. They are sitting by the counter.

OFF TO TAMORA - She comes from the back.

TAMORA

All clear. Days off for everybody.

MELINDA

You miss being the assistant manager, didn’t you?

TAMORA

Having Prue as my boss again? No, thanks.

Melinda and Tamora smile.

OFF TO RAE - She SHIMMERS in.

Wyatt, Melinda, and Tamora look at her.

WYATT

You must be Rae.

RAE

I believe this is not a setup.

WYATT

It is not. Bianca told us you are loyal to her.

RAE

Bianca should lead the Phoenix Witches. Some of us decided to remain loyal to her. Some others are still on Siobhan’s side.

MELINDA

Any news about Siobhan?

RAE

She’s hiding in the Underworld. Where exactly is a mystery to us, but we are alert.

MELINDA

Good. We can let Siobhan have her way.

RAE

Agree.

WYATT

We didn’t call you here to learn about Siobhan.

TAMORA

Not now, at least.

WYATT

My brother and his ---

(pauses)

--- wife were taken.

RAE

I know. News run quickly down there.

MELINDA

So, you know where they are?

Rae nods.

RAE

The Queen of Hearts.

Wyatt, Melinda, and Tamora are shocked at the name. They glance at each other.

WYATT

Queen of Hearts?

MELINDA

Is she a demon?

RAE

She’s a witch. And an evil witch.

WYATT

An evil witch?

Rae nods.

WYATT (CONT’D)

And let me guess, she leads one of the factions?

Rae nods again.

RAE

The only witch leading a faction.

TAMORA

Evil witch.

MELINDA

What do you know about her?

RAE

Well, she has become very powerful lately. She's gathered powers from demons and witches.

WYATT

How did she become the leader of a faction?

RAE

Some say it’s because she found an Executioner demon.

MELINDA

A what?

RAE

Executioner demons are very rare nowadays. They were very popular years ago. Centuries ago. Remember those times when people were sentenced to death by hanging or by beheading or any other means to be killed?

Wyatt, Melinda, and Tamora nod.

 RAE (CONT'D)

Executioner demons. They tortured human souls before death. Their blade or strings had the power to make people suffer more than needed.

(pauses)

They weren’t demons back then but ended up becoming due to their jobs.

WYATT

And that Queen of Hearts has one of them working for her?

Rae nods.

RAE

She does.

TAMORA

So, she’s known as the Queen of Hearts because ---

RAE

Because she’s fond of cutting people’s heads off. Well, she asks the Executioner demon to do it for her.

WYATT

People?

RAE

Humans, demons --- You name it. She’s had some demons beheaded lately. Especially those who refuse to change sides and join her faction.

WYATT

And you think she is the one responsible for taking Chris and Ella.

RAE

I’m sure of it. And she’s planning to give her sentence later.

WYATT

Sentence?

RAE

The sentence before the verdict.

TAMORA

That’s not the way ---

RAE

That’s the Queen of Hearts’ way.

TAMORA

She’s a freak from Wonderland.

RAE

Well, this is not a children’s tale and your brother and sister-in-law are going to lose their heads later today.

MELINDA

Do you know where to find them?

Rae smiles.

RAE

We Phoenixes have our ways too. I’ll take you there.

Wyatt, Melinda, and Tamora glance at each other.

RAE (CONT’D)

But I must warn you, ---

Wyatt, Melinda, and Tamora look at Rae.

RAE (CONT’D)

Armand is going up against her too. He’s not pleased with her.

WYATT

Great. Let’s save my brother and Ella before World War three.

Rae nods.

ON WYATT - He is decided.

Some delivery guys are coming in bringing some boxes and flowers. A catering team is also there delivering some food. Charlotte and Doris are giving their instructions to the staff.

CHARLOTTE

(to Doris)

It is wonderful how you pulled this all together in a matter of hours.

DORIS

Well, to be fair, I was planing this already. I left everything ready in case Prue agreed with my plan.

Charlotte smiles at Doris.

CHARLOTTE

You are clever.

Doris smiles big.

DORIS

I’m a woman.

Both women laugh.

INT. PRUE’S CONDO - PRUE’S BEDROOM - DAY

Jessica is taking clothes from Prue’s closet. Prue is sitting on the bed staring at Jessica.

JESSICA

You have some nice dresses here.

(takes a pink dress)

This one will be perfect for tonight. I have one similar and we could match each other.

Jessica looks at Prue.

JESSIA (CONT’D)

What do you think?

Prue forces a smile.

PRUE

Match each other?

Jessica nods.

JESSICA

That would make it clear that we are really overcoming our issues.

PRUE

Right. We are.

Jessica shows Prue the dress.

JESSICA

So?

Prue stares at Jessica for a few seconds. Then she stares at the dress. Then again at Jessica.

PRUE

Pink it is.

Jessica smiles big.

JESSICA

Great.

Jessica puts the dress on the bed.

JESSICA (CONT’D)

Now I need to go. Need to get ready for tonight.

PRUE

Sure.

Jessica walks over to Prue and kisses her cheek to Prue’s surprise.

JESSICA

See you tonight.

Jessica walks out of the bedroom while Prue watches her.

PRUE

(sarcastic)

And the Oscar goes to ---

Prue sighs. She stands and stares at the dress. Then, Jared appears in INVINCIBLE ASTRAL MODE beside Prue. He moves his lips, but it is Gadreel’s voice that Prue hears.

JARED / GADREEL

Prue?

Prue hears the voice.

JARED / GADREEL (CONT’D)

Oh Prue, how I’ve missed you.

PRUE

This isn’t happening.

JARED / GADREEL

Soon, my love, soon we’ll be together.

Prue runs her fingers through her hair.

PRUE

You are not real.

She tries to remain calm.

PRUE (CONT’D)

You’re locked down in a cell in heaven. You are not real.

JARED / GADREEL

I found a way out once. I’ll find a way out again.

PRUE

No. No.

Prue hides her head between her hands. She is getting nervous.

OFF TO THE ENTRANCE - Charlotte comes in and stares at Prue.

CHARLOTTE

Prue?

Prue uncovers her face. Her eyes are wet. Prue seems scared. Jared disappears.

CHARLOTTE (CONT’D)

What happened?

PRUE

It’s him.

CHARLOTTE

Who?

PRUE

I heard his voice, Charlie.

CHARLOTTE

Who’s voice, Prue?

Prue swallows.

PRUE

Gadreel’s.

ON CHARLOTTE’S FACE - She is astonished.

CHARLOTTE

He’s locked, Prue.

PRUE

But I heard him. Just like before. What if he's back? What if he’s behind this?

CHARLOTTE

Calm down, Prue.

Charlotte rubs Prue’s arms.

CHARLOTTE (CONT’D)

It cannot be him.

Prue stares at her sister.

CHARLOTTE (CONT’D)

He doesn’t have hazel eyes.

Prue is serious.

PRUE

He doesn’t. His eyes were blue.

CHARLOTTE

You know that better than me.

Prue nods.

PRUE

But I heard his voice.

CHARLOTTE

Are you sure it was his voice?

Prue nods.

PRUE

I’m getting crazy.

CHARLOTTE

No, Prue. You’re not. It might be the hormones.

PRUE

You might be right.

Charlotte nods.

PRUE (CONT’D)

Don’t tell Wyatt.

CHARLOTTE

But ---

PRUE

Please. I don’t want him to get worried.

Charlotte nods. Then Prue feels a kick on her belly. She takes her hands to her belly.

PRUE (CONT’D)

Wow.

CHARLOTTE

A strong kick?

Prue nods.

PRUE

They are kicking a lot lately.

CHARLOTTE

You don’t think is close, right? The due date?

PRUE

It’s too soon yet. They are probably worried.

Charlotte smiles.

CHARLOTTE

Twins.

Prue smiles.

PRUE

Yeah.

Both sisters smile.

Loreto walks while Jo follows. Jo stares seriously at Loreto.

JO

You said you wanted to show me something. We’ve been walking for a while and you haven’t said a word.

Loreto keeps silent.

JO (CONT’D)

C’mon, Loreto.

LORETO

Never in my life as an Angel of Death have I encounter someone like you, Jo Halliwell.

JO

That’s why there is no other like me.

Loreto stops and turns around.

JO (CONT’D)

What did you want to show me?

LORETO

Their life without you.

Loreto turns around and WAVES her hand. Some images start appearing before them.

LORETO (CONT’D)

This power comes in handy when I need to explain to the souls that their loved ones have moved on.

Jo stares astonished at the images.

ON THE IMAGES - There, it can be seen two young girls, fraternal twins, playing together.

JO

Those are ---

LORETO

Peri and Patience Halliwell.

JO

They seem ---

LORETO

Happy?

Loreto glances at Jo. Jo nods.

LORETO (CONT’D)

They are. They grew up as sisters.

Jo glances at Loreto.

JO

As?

Loreto turns to the images. Jo does too.

ON THE IMAGES - It can be seen Wyatt and Jessica approaching young Peri and taking her away from Patience. It is not clear where the scene takes place.

JO (CONT’D)

What are they doing?

LORETO

Taking their girl with them.

JO (CONT’D)

Their girl?

ON THE IMAGES - Then Nate, wearing black, approaches Patience and takes her hand. He walks away with her.

JO (CONT’D)

What’s going on?

ON THE IMAGES - They change to show Peri hugging Jessica tightly.

LORETO

She’s happy with her mommy.

JO

That’s not her mother.

ON THE IMAGES - They change again to show Patience hugging a sad Nate.

LORETO

And she’s her father’s rock.

JO

No.

Jo’s eyes get wet.

LORETO

They have a happy life, Jo.

JO

They are my sisters. Prue and Wyatt’s daughters.

LORETO

Not in that future. Peri is Wyatt and Jessica’s daughter and Patience is Nate and Prue’s daughter.

JO

That’s impossible.

LORETO

Both of them are happy.

JO

How can they be happy?

ON THE IMAGES - They change again to show David, Jo’s boyfriend, on his wedding day, but the bride is not Jo. The bride is someone else.

JO (CONT’D)

What ---

LORETO

He’s happy too.

Loreto turns to Jo.

LORETO (CONT’D)

You not being around creates that. A happy future for them.

Tears run down Jo’s face.

LORETO (CONT’D)

Peri has loving parents. Patience is Nate’s rock after Prue’s death. And David ---

Tears run fast on Jo’s face.

LORETO (CONT’D)

David finds love with a woman. And a life away from magic troubles. Actually, there’s no fight in the future. There’s no good versus evil. There’s peace.

Jo lowers her gaze.

LORETO (CONT’D)

That happens because you aren’t there.

Jo looks at Loreto.

LORETO (CONT’D)

They moved on and suddenly, everything finds its rightful place.

JO

No.

Jo wipes her tears off.

JO (CONT’D)

That’s a Utopia. And not a great one. Peri is not Jessica’s daughter. She’s Prue’s daughter. Just like Patience and just like me. There will always be a fight of good versus evil and there will always be a Warren to fight. And David ---

ON THE IMAGES - They fade off.

JO (CONT’D)

--- David is my true love and I’m his.

LORETO

You never existed.

JO

You’re wrong. I do exist. My parents remember me. And while they do, I exist. So, Loreto, you better find a way to warn them of my whereabouts, otherwise, they will find out eventually and it won’t be pretty.

Loreto gets serious.

JO (CONT’D)

You don’t know my mother, and you certainly don’t know my father. And you have no idea what they can do together. They can become the Source and Queen of All Evil again just to get me back. And not even the Angels of Death would have a chance against them.

Loreto stares seriously at Jo.

JO (CONT’D)

So, what do you say, Loreto? Will you tell my parents where I am?

Jo and Loreto stare at each other seriously.

Junior nods.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

I tried to call you.

JUNIOR

I didn’t feel like talking.

MELISSA

Do you feel like talking now?

Junior shakes his head.

JUNIOR

I didn’t know I was suffocating you.

MELISSA

I didn’t say that.

JUNIOR

It was like if you did. I was just trying to protect you.

MELISSA

I know.

JUNIOR

You are very stubborn and I didn’t want something happening to you.

MELISSA

I know. But I wouldn’t be careless and try to investigate things on my own. Especially because I have no magic at all.

JUNIOR

You are the protector of Darkness Medallion.

MELISSA

I know. It doesn’t make me a witch or anything. I wouldn’t risk my life.

JUNIOR

You have.

MELISSA

For work.

Junior shoots her a pointed look.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

Honey, ---

Melissa takes Junior’s face between her hands.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

I wouldn’t risk my life with this. True, I want to help and I’m dying for us to get back to our real lives, but ---

(sighs)

--- I wouldn’t dare to get in danger cause I know it would hurt you and seeing you hurting, hurts me.

Junior is touched by Melissa’s words.

JUNIOR

It does?

Melissa half-smiles.

MELISSA

Damn, babe, don’t you know I love you?

Melissa gets closer.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

I do love you more than anything, Henry Mitchell Junior, and it kills me to see you hurting as much as it kills me to have you like my shadow cause it shows that you don’t trust me.

JUNIOR

No, I do trust you.

MELISSA

Then why shadowing me?

JUNIOR

Because ---

Both Junior and Melissa stare at each other deeply in the eyes. Junior sighs. He realizes something.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

Damn, I love you.

Melissa smiles.

JUNIOR (CONT’D)

I do love you, Melissa Cooper.

Melissa smiles big. Then both kiss each other passionately. Then, both look other.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

Jessica stops laughing.

Jared stares seriously at her.

JESSICA (CONT’D)

Those babies need to be born.

JARED

She has to be alone when that happens.

JESSICA

Indeed.

JARED

I can work out something for the others to be entertained.

JESSICA

Great. Armand will help me to get rid of her.

JARED

ELLA

We are screwed. Literally.

CHRIS

Not yet.

ELLA

Not yet? Chris! We are about to lose our heads and you still have ---

CHRIS

Hope?

Chris stares at Ella. Ella nods.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

That’s all I have right now, El.

ELLA

Yeah, well, sorry, if I can feel it.

CHRIS

You have to.

ELLA

I wish we could use our powers.

CHRIS

I’m sure Mel and the others will find us.

ELLA

I really hope you’re right.

The demons start cheering up louder. They all turn to the entrance of the cave.

A couple of demons come in wearing black robes. Each of them holds a torch. They walk at pace. Following them comes the Executioner Demon. His face is covered with the hood and he holds his ax between both his hands. He walks at pace.

Right after the Executioner Demon, Leora, the Queen of Hearts, walks in. She wears a black-and-red gown with black-and-yellow stripes. Her hair is loose over her shoulders.

All demons in the cave watch her walking in. Leora smiles wickedly as she stares at the demons gathered in the cave.

Chris and Ella watch as Leora walks towards them. The demons with the torches stand one beside Chris and the other beside Ella on the stage. The Executioner Demon stands next to them. As Leora reaches the front, she looks at Chris and Ella and smirks. Then she turns around and gets ready to speak to the demons.

LEORA

My friends! Witness how a new era starts.

(opens her arms)

For years we’ve been confined to this place. Lost. With no leadership. Always renegade to the background. Without hope of succeeding. The Source, Zankou, and many other have tried but they have failed. Aren’t you tired already of failure?

The demons say ‘YES’ out loud.

LEORA (CONT’D)

Of course, you are. I am too. I am tired of those who promise us that things will change. They do their best, or so they think, and nothing changes. In the end, the old same story; they’re stopped. And they are stopped by no less than the Charmed Ones and their damn progeny. It’s time to stop them.

The demons say ‘YES’ out loud again.

LEORA (CONT’D)

We start by one and go from there.

Leora turns to Chris and Ella.

LEORA (CONT’D)

Witness how a Destined One and one of his many allies fall headless before our foot.

The demons cheer up. Leora WAVES her hands and TELEKINETICALLY she gets the handcuffs open. And right after, she WAVES her hands again IMMOBILIZING Chris ad Ella. Both of them try to move, but their bodies are paralyzed.

CHRIS

(barely moving his mouth)

What the hell?!

LEORA

You won’t be able to move.

ELLA

LEORA

Witness the beginning of the end of the Warrens and the start of new leadership in the Underworld.

Leora looks at the Executioner Demon and nods.

LEORA (CONT’D)

Off with their heads.

The Executioner Demon nods and he approaches Chris and Ella. He raises his ax and is about to blow a strike when suddenly ---

THE EXECUTIONER DEMON bursts into flames. He screams out loud at Leora’s astonished look.

LEORA (CONT’D)

(confused)

What ---?

Leora turns around and ---

BEAT. Armand and Alexia stand there. Alexia holds out her hands. She was the one who used firepower to destroy the Executioner Demon. Some other demons stand behind Armand and Alexia.

LEORA (CONT’D)

(staring at Armand)

You!

ARMAND

No way I would let you win this war.

LEORA

You have no idea who you’re messing with.

Armand smirks.

ARMAND

No, dear. You have no idea who you’re messing with.

Both Leora and Armand start using their powers against each other. Armand’s demons start fighting Leora’s demons. Chris and Ella stare at the whole scene, still unable to move.

Alex and Pandora glance at Bianca. Bianca stops and stares at them.

BIANCA (CONT’D)

What if that crazy witch hurt Chris?

Pandora stands and walks towards Bianca.

PANDORA

Have faith.

BIANCA

You’re telling me to have faith?

PANDORA

(forces a smile)

I’m hurting a lot. I am. But as Tam said, there’s nothing more powerful than a Warren and Warren’s faith.

ALEX

And we have lots of it.

Alex smile. Bianca glances from Alex to Pandora.

BIANCA

Do you guys really believe that?

PANDORA

Bianca, you have a little person with Warren blood inside of you. Listen to the baby. He or she will teach you to have faith.

Bianca and Pandora stare at each other. Then Bianca smiles.

BIANCA

Does it make me a Warren too?

Pandora smiles.

PANDORA

You don’t have Warren's blood, but you are one of us.

Bianca nods.

Pandora and Bianca glance at each other.

I have an idea. I’ll orb there and take them out.

MELINDA

What if they see you?

WYATT

I don’t care.

That said, Wyatt ORBS out. They see as Wyatt ORBS in behind Chris and Ella. He approaches them.

WYATT

(whispering)

I’m gonna take you out of here.

Chris and Ella glance at Wyatt through the corner of their eyes.

CHRIS

Wyatt?

Wyatt touches Chris and Ella’s shoulder, and surprisingly, nothing happens. He tries again.

WYATT

I can’t orb.

CHRIS

What? How did you come in?

WYATT

I just orbed in.

ALEXIA

Armand! Look!

Alexia THROWS a FIREBALL at one demon and points to the stage. Armand turns to her and then follows as she points to Wyatt.

TAMORA

Damn it!

RAE

He can’t orb out.

MELINDA

But he just orbed in.

RAE

The cave is protected by anti - teleport out amulets.

Rae points at several paintings on the rock walls.

TAMORA

What do we do?

The demons stop fighting. Leora and Armand’s team are now focused on Wyatt, Chris, and Ella.

LEORA

(to Armand)

I tell you what, the first who vanquish one of them wins.

ARMAND

(looks at Leora)

No doubt it’ll be me.

LEORA

We shall see.

TAMORA

What do we do, Mel?

MELINDA

Fire.

Tamora looks at Melinda.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

Set the cave on fire, Tam.

Tamora smirks. She nods and then looks at the inside of the cave.

TAMORA

Fire it is.

Tamora starts WAVING her hands at the demons. Leora and Armand both walk towards each other. The demons inside the cave start bursting into flames. Wyatt, Chris, and Ella stare at it.

WYATT

Fire.

Wyatt WAVES his hands and uses ELECTROKINESIS and MOLECULAR COMBUSTION to vanquish some demons.

WYATT (CONT’D)

That’s more the way I like it.

Leora, Armand, and Alexia glance around. Some demons start SHIMMERING and FLAMING out.

ALEXIA

Armand!

Alexia uses GLISTENING to disappear. Armand and Leora stare at each other.

ARMAND

Get outta my way.

LEORA

You get outta my way.

Wyatt glances at Armand and Leora and WAVES his hands, but Armand and Leora disappear. There are no more demons inside the cave.

Melinda, Tamora, and Rae walk inside the cave. Chris and Ella start moving.

MELINDA

Are you guys okay?

CHRIS

Now we are.

Wyatt helps Ella to stand.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

What took you so long.

TAMORA

Rae took us here.

MELINDA

Yeah, thanks to her we found you.

Chris glances at Rae.

CHRIS

Rae?

RAE

I’m a friend of Bianca.

ELLA

The wife. Right.

Wyatt, Melinda, and Tamora look at Ella.

CHRIS

She knows.

ELLA

Is it true?

Melinda nods. Ella sighs.

RAE

I see you guys have some things to talk about. Things that are not of my concern.

MELINDA

Thank you, Rae.

RAE

(smiles)

Anytime. I’ll keep my eyes and ears open.

WYATT

Thank you.

Rae smiles. Then she turns around and walks out of the cave.

TAMORA

Can we leave now? There’s a baby shower we need to attend.

ELLA

Baby shower? I need explanations about this reality-warping thing.

CHRIS

We’ll tell you everything.

MELINDA

Yeah, but let’s get out of here, shall we?

They all nod. Melinda, Tamora, and Ella walk out of the cave. Chris turns to Wyatt.

CHRIS

Thanks.

WYATT

Let’s get out of here.

Chris nods. Wyatt pats Chris' shoulder.

WYATT (CONT’D)

You better call Bianca. She’s anxious to hear from you.

Chris smiles. Both brothers walk out of the cave.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - ARMAND’S CAVE - NIGHT (LATER)

ON PREGNANT BELLY - A man’s hand is touching the belly.

Armand has his hand over Jessica’s fake pregnant belly. They look each other in the eyes.

ARMAND

Are you sure?

Jessica nods.

JESSICA

No time to lose now. For my plans to work, I need to plan ahead. We cannot wait for the due date. Those babies need to be born ASAP.

Armand nods.

ARMAND

Good, because I can't wait any longer to destroy the Destined Ones. I have powerful competition.

JESSICA

Are you afraid to lose your head?

ARMAND

I’m more afraid to lose my throne.

JESSICA

Then it’s settle. Soon, I’ll have my baby on my arms.

ON JESSICA’S FACE - A wicked smile.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - NIGHT

Aerial view all over the town at the sound of a ‘Lullaby’ by Sigala Ft. Paloma Faith. Several spots all over San Francisco are shown.

CUT TO:

INT. PRUE’S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

MUSIC KEEPS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND.

A double baby shower is taking place. The condo’s living room has been properly decorated to host Prue and Jessica’s babies’ baby shower.

Doris is by the front door welcoming Tamora and Pandora who arrive carrying presents.
Some others are already there: Charlotte, Cassandra, and Jessica. Melissa comes in right after.

MUSIC FADES OFF.

TAMORA

Where are the pregnant women?

DORIS

Jessica hasn’t arrived yet. Prue is with Melinda and Ella getting ready.

MELISSA

Out of a sudden this shower, huh?!

TAMORA

I’m gonna check on Prue.

Tamora walks out of the living room leaving Charlotte, Cassandra, Pandora, and Melissa together.

DORIS

Well, it’s a shame my daughter isn’t here.

CHARLOTTE

It was out of a sudden. I’m sure she understands.

DORIS

She does.

Doris closes the front door. Cassandra approaches Charlotte and whispers something.

CASSANDRA

Ella knows?!

Charlotte nods. Both sisters stare at each other.

CUT TO:

INT. PRUE’S CONDO - MAIN BEDROOM - NIGHT

ON MIRROR - Prue’s image is reflected there. She’s wearing a pink dress that makes her belly seems larger.

PRUE

I hate this dress.

MELINDA

Didn’t you buy it?

Prue turns to Melinda and Ella who stare at them.

OFF TO THE ENTRANCE - Tamora walks in.

PRUE

No. It was probably the other Prue who did it.

TAMORA

And definitely, pink it’s not your color.

PRUE

Right.

(to Ella)

So ---

ELLA

So. Really-warping?

Prue grimaces.

PRUE

I wanted to tell you.

ELLA

You should have. This changes everything.

PRUE

I know.

ELLA

And she’s pregnant too.

(sighs)

God!

Ella goes and sits on the edge of the bed.

ELLA (CONT’D)

Of all the scenarios I imagined in my mind, this was not one of them.

MELINDA

I know it’s difficult, El.

ELLA

Difficult? I’m not actually married to the man I love, Mel. My life for the past ten years was not what I thought it was. Difficult is not even close to describing this situation.

PRUE

No. You’re right. It’s a mess. It’s hell. It’s an inferno we’re living.

Melinda and Ella stare at Prue.

PRUE (CONT’D)

But at least, you haven’t lost a child.

Tears start forming in Prue’s eyes.

PRUE (CONT’D)

I have.

BIANCA (O.S.)

Me too.

They turn to the entrance. Bianca is there.

BIANCA (CONT’D)

And yes, I don’t remember Matt, but I felt him. I heard his cry. I still do. But I’m ---

(to Ella)

I’m sorry, to take Chris from you. I wouldn’t want it to be like this.

Ella stands. Bianca and Ella stare at each other.

BIANCA (CONT’D)

I love him and I know you love him too. And that’s why I’m asking you to forgive me for taking away from you what you love. But it isn’t my fault.

Ella lowers her gaze.

ELLA

I know.

(looks at Bianca)

It isn’t anyone’s fault. And I’m sorry too, Bianca. But I’m glad he’s found someone that loves him as much as I do.

Bianca smiles. Ella smiles back at her.

PRUE

It’s someone’s fault.

They all turn to Prue.

PRUE (CONT’D)

There’s something Sebastian told me this morning and it kept me thinking.

TAMORA

Jessica.

MELINDA

Wait, you think she’s ---

PRUE

No. She has an agenda, but she wouldn’t be powerful enough to get us all in this mess.

ELLA

But Jessica has been acting weird lately.

(glances at them)

I caught her trying to take the magic lamp out of the manor.

MELINDA

What?

TAMORA

And Sebastian believes he saw her in Armand’s cave.

Prue nods.

PRUE

I believe it too.

BIANCA

But we all know you’re not very fond of Jessica.

PRUE

And still, she’s has become very fond of me out of a sudden.

MELINDA

She’s pregnant with Wyatt’s baby.

PRUE

I am pregnant with Wyatt’s babies, Mel.

MELINDA

So, what are you saying? That the baby is not Wyatt’s.

PRUE

I have a suspicion and I need to confirm it.

ELLA

How?

ON PRUE - She’s serious.

PRUE

I have my ways. She might have a secret agenda, but I do too.

Prue is deadly serious.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - CONSERVATORY ROOM - NIGHT

Wyatt, Chris, Junior, Damon, and Eric are there sitting at having a poker game. There are bottles of wine and beers there. As the women held a double baby shower, the men have their own celebration.

DAMON

So, it’s okay now. Ella knows. She hasn’t freaked out.

ERIC

The same cannot be told about Ethan. Poor guy. He seemed off when I saw him earlier.

CHRIS

Yeah, well, Pan is not better.

JUNIOR

True. But I’m sure they’ll find their way to each other.

OFF TO SEBASTIAN - He ORBS in.

SEBASTIAN

Am I late?

WYATT

We just got started.

Junior points Sebastian where to sit.

SOUND - The front door.

WYATT (CONT’D)

Who is it?

CHRIS

Maybe dad decided to come to our baby shower.

WYATT

Dad would be orbed in.

CHRIS

Right.

OFF TO THE ENTRANCE - Nate and Johnathan come in.

They look at Nate and Johnathan.

NATE

I’m sorry, but I heard there was a baby shower for men in here.

Wyatt looks seriously at Nate.

NATE (CONT’D)

I can’t go home yet anyway.

The others stare at Johnathan.

JOHNATHAN

And I’m sorry to crash your party, but ---

NATE

He knows.

JUNIOR

Knows what?

NATE

The magic secret.

Johnathan smiles.

JOHNATHAN

So you all are witches.

They all look at one another.

NATE

Cassandra and Johnathan are together and she told him about your secret.

Wyatt and Chris glance at each other. Then they look at Johnathan.

SEBASTIAN

Whitelighter here.

ERIC

Just a mortal.

DAMON

Half-demon.

JOHNATHAN

(amazed)

Half-demon?

Damon smiles.

DAMON

I’m part of the good ones.

CHRIS

Welcome, Mr.?

JOHNATHAN

Hale. Johnathan Hale. Please, just Johnathan.

CHRIS

Welcome to the Halliwell manor, Johnathan.

Junior rushes to get two more chairs for Nate and Johnathan.

ERIC

Poker?

Nate and Johnathan approach them. Chris and Wyatt glance at each other. Chris pats Wyatt’s shoulder and Wyatt forces a smile.

CUT TO:

INT. PRUE’S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Jessica walks in wearing her pink dress. Doris hugs her tightly.

OFF TO PRUE - She walks in followed by Melinda, Tamora, Bianca, and Jessica.

Charlotte, Cassandra, and Pandora are there. Jessica looks at Prue.

JESSICA

Oh, my!

Jessica and Doris break the hug. Jessica and Prue stare at each other.

JESSICA (CONT’D)

We’re matching.

Prue forces a smile. All the others stare at them. Jessica rushes to Prue and stands close to her.

JESSICA (CONT’D)

We’re going to be mothers.

PRUE

Indeed.

Prue opens her arms.

PRUE (CONT’D)

What about a hug to celebrate our new friendship?

Jessica smiles.

JESSICA

Of course.

Both women smile. Then, to everyone’s surprise, Prue and Jessica hug each other and ---

BEAT. Prue feels something. Or better she feels nothing from Jessica.

ON PRUE’S FACE - The smile on her face fades. She gets serious. She has realized there’s not another life inside of Jessica. There’s no baby.

CUT TO:

INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - MICHAELA’S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Michaela is laying down on her bed. She’s asleep. But it’s not a quiet sleep. She moves a lot.

FLASHES TO:

INT. P3 - DANCING FLOOR - UNKNOWN TIME OF THE DAY (MICHAELA’S NIGHTMARE)

Michaela stands in the center of the dancing floor. She seems confused and glances around. Then, she heard a voice behind her.

JARED (O.S.)

Hello!

Michaela turns around and she freezes as she sees Jared there.

Michaela is dreaming of her first and only encounter with Jared with some differences from the real encounter.

JARED (CONT’D)

Did I scare you?

(pauses)

The door was open. I’m Jessica’s brother.

MICHAELA

Your eyes!

Jared smirks.

JARED

Yes, my eyes.

The images start fading quickly and it ---

FLASHES BACK TO:

INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - MICHAELA’S BEDROOM - NIGHT

ON MICHAELA’S FACE - Her eyes pop open.

Michaela gets into a sitting position.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTIC - NIGHT (2066)

Peri is by the Book of Shadows. Patience is finishing drawing a large triquetra on the wall.

PERI

The tricky part will be to come back.

Patience turns to Peri.

PATIENCE

We could use my ring, you know?

PERI

We wouldn’t know where to go. But we can use it to come back.

(sighs)

My head is a mess, Pat.

PATIENCE

Mine too. It’s like I have the memories of two people inside my mind.

PERI

Yeah, I do not know which one is mine.

Peri walks towards Patience.

PERI (CONT’D)

You are my sister, I know you are, but ---

PATIENCE

We are also cousins.

PERI

How is that even possible?

PATIENCE

We are fraternal twins.

Peri nods.

PERI

And Jo --- Why isn’t she part of these other memories.

PATIENCE

She faded before our eyes, Per.

PERI

But why?

PATIENCE

That’s what we are going to find out, Per. Someone is messing with our lives.

PERI

I swear I’m gonna vanquish the person responsible for this.

PATIENCE

Person, Per? It’s a demon.

PERI

Whoever it is, it better be ready for the Blessed Twins.

Patience smiles.

PATIENCE

That’s how your father uses to call us.

PERI

Right. Only that he’s your father too.

PATIENCE

Or not.

PERI

In that case, we wouldn’t be twins.

PATIENCE

Damn, Per, we need to fix this.

Peri nods.

PERI

Let’s cast the spell.

Peri and Patience turn to the triquetra and both get ready to cast the spell that’s gonna get them back in time.

PERI / PATIENCE

‘Hear these words,

hear the rhyme,

heed the hope within my mind,

send me back to where I'll find,

what I wish in place and time.’

A portal opens where the drawn triquetra is. Peri and Patience walk into the portal.

THE IMAGE ---

FADES TO BLACK.
