5x12 - Deadly Stingers

[Prue Brianna Johnna Halliwell]

DESTINED

SEASON 5, EPISODE 12

'DEADLY STINGERS'

TEASER

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. PLANE OF NOTHINGNESS - UNKNOWN TIME OF DAY

ON JO'S FACE - She is unconscious. Suddenly, her eyes pop open. She takes a deep breath in.

Jo gets into a sitting position and glances around. She seems confused and a little tired.

Everything is black. The nonexistent walls and floor. All black. The plane of Nothingness is a plane where there's no place for hope, but a place for those who have nowhere to be. The only light in it here is where Jo is.

Jo touches her head. It seems like a strong headache is starting. She tries to rise from the floor and glances around once again.

JO

Hello?

No one answers. It seems like she's alone.

JO (CONT'D)

Anyone? Loreto?

Nothing.

JO (CONT'D)

You told me to trust you. How can I trust you if you left me here all alone?

Jo sighs.

JO (CONT'D)

Wherever here is.

(out loud)

HELLO!

Again. Nothing.

CUT TO:

INT. CUPID'S TEMPLE - ROOM - NIGHT

The only light in the room comes from the center of the floor where a stone table is. On the table is a cauldron. Next to the table are Prue and Melinda. While Prue throws some ingredients into the cauldron, Melinda mixes the liquid inside.

Surrounding them are the others; Wyatt, Chris, Charlotte, Cassandra, Tamora, Pandora, Junior, Alex, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige. Prue nods at them and then, each at the time approaches the cauldron, takes a dagger from the table, and cuts one finger.

ON WYATT'S FINGER - It bleeds. The drops fall into the cauldron.

Wyatt and Prue look at each other. They smile. Then comes Chris, Charlotte, Cassandra, Tamora, Pandora, Junior, Alex, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige. The last ones to drop the blood into the potion are Melinda and Prue. Melinda mixes the liquid once again.

CUT TO:

INT. CUPID'S TEMPLE - ROOM - NIGHT (SHORTLY AFTER)

ON A SMALL BOTTLE - It's filled with a pink liquid.

They all are there. Each one of them holds a small bottle. Prue takes the last one from the table.

PRUE

Whoever did this has eyes on us. We need to be protected.

MELINDA

This potion will keep him or her out of our minds and some of our actions. If he or she has eyes on us all the time, a blur will appear every time we share something that could reveal that we remember our true lives and the images will be replaced by banal stuff.

PRUE

If he or she has ears on us, he would stop hearing our conversations and it'll be replaced by banal conversation. That way we can still try to find who is behind this.

MELINDA

Whoever did it, made Prue's memories fade away.

PRUE

(looks at Wyatt; smiles)

Luckily, I have a lucky charm that brought me back from Darkness.

(pauses)

Again.

Wyatt looks at her and smiles.

MELINDA

We need to be careful from now on. We don't know who's behind this and we can't count on Michaela's visions.

PRUE

But we can count on ourselves. Something in our past changed our lives. We'll change it back.

PANDORA

Will it work?

MELINDA

A potion with ingredients taken from Mount Olympus at the hands of Cupids? I'm sure it will. Cupid's orders.

TAMORA

Mount Olympus? Isn't Cupid a Roman God?

PRUE

Cupid, Eros ----

CHARLOTTE

Mount Olympus is common to both of them.

PHOEBE

Cupid is actually the only one we can trust in. Elders don't believe us while Cupid does.

CHARLOTTE

What about the others? Why don't they remember?

PRUE

We don't know. Probably because what was changed is related to us, and when Wyatt believe and made me believe, it brought our memories back.

MELINDA

But probably the others won't until we vanquish the demon behind this.

WYATT

Or change back what was wrongly changed.

MELINDA

Or both. We don't know how this works. Maybe we get transported to our reality.

PAIGE

This is a different situation than the one I experienced before. Then, it was just a day for me.

PHOEBE

We've been here for weeks now.

PRUE

Exactly. But now we must focus on keeping things the way they are and not let others get suspicious. We all have been granted special access to this temple. Let's drink the potion and try to have our lives back.

They all nod.

PIPER

Exceptional work what you did here. I mean, if this potion works.

MELINDA

It will, mom. We learned from the best.

Both Prue and Melinda smile at Piper.

PAIGE

Hey!

PRUE

Melinda meant the three of you.

PHOEBE

Nah, I was always better with spells.

They laugh. All of them drink the potion.

MELINDA

We don't know if its effects will last long, so, once you'll drink it, a mark will appear somewhere in your body.

PRUE

The mark will look like a tattoo with the shape of a triquetra. So, if someone sees it you can say it's a family pact.

CASSANDRA

Great idea.

MELINDA

You need to check the mark. It'll start fading when the potion starts lacking effect.

PAIGE

I would never think of it.

MELINDA

We've got inspired by Prue's triquetra's tattoo on her ankle.

PHOEBE

(to Prue)

The one your father almost killed you for when you were sixteen.

Prue smiles.

PIPER

Let's drink it and find a way to get our lives back.

WYATT

And also, our Tina.

CHRIS

And Matt.

TAMORA

Guys, we are the Destined Ones. We'll get everything in its rightful place.

They all nod and exchange glances.

ON JUNIOR - He takes his hand towards the back of his head as he feels a twinge there.

JUNIOR

Ouch!

Tamora looks at the back of his head.

ON JUNIOR'S BACK NECK - A small black triquetra appears there.

TAMORA

There you've got your triquetra.

CASSANDRA

Ouch!

Cassandra touches her right shoulder.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

Guess I've got mine here.

Each one of them touches a part of his body as they feel the triquetra appearing; Wyatt (right side underbelly), Chris (right shoulder blade), Tamora (lower back), Pandora (upper back), Charlotte (left shoulder), Melinda (left forearm), Piper (right ankle), Phoebe (behind left ear), Paige (behind right ear), Junior (back of his neck), Cassandra (right shoulder), Alex (left shoulder blade), Prue (right forearm).

Prue looks at her mark and smiles.

The room's light fades off.

CUT TO BLACK.

ACT ONE

OVER CREDITS.

OVER BLACK.

FADES IN:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY / NIGHT

MUSIC: 'How Soon Is Now' by t.A.T.u.

SHOTS ALL OVER THE CITY as days turn into nights and nights into days. Images of people living their lives are shown.

Months pass.

ON THE SCREEN - IT READS:

5 MONTHS LATER

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - DEMONIC BAR - NIGHT

MUSIC FADES OFF.

THE ROOM IS FULL OF DEMONS gathered there. Some of them are drinking, but all of them have their attention to the male demon in the center of the room who speaks to them all. ARMAND (looks 30's) is a tall and toned demon.

ARMAND

It is time for us to get the Underworld back.

All the demons in there, nod.

ARMAND (CONT'D)

We've been quiet for quite a long time. We need to get back up there and take back the world.

FEMALE DEMON #1

But wouldn't it call the Charmed Ones' attention.

ARMAND

The Charmed Ones are retired and their kids haven't been an issue for us. They never treated us the way their mothers did.

DEMON #1

Some of them have been coming after demons down here. It is said that there's a new Power of Three.

DEMON #2

More than that. They are the Destined Ones. The Power of Three times three.

ARMAND

They are just trying to scare us and keep the belief that we should fear them.

Armand glances around.

ARMAND (CONT'D)

We should join forces. Several factions have appeared lately. We need to do the same. Ever since Zankou was vanquished, there was not a true leader ever again.

DEMON #2

Then we need a leader.

DEMON #3

Armand is powerful.

(to Armand)

You've been trained by the best.

ARMAND

Training is not all. There must be a strategy.

(smirks)

I have the strategy. And most important, the will. If those Halliwells come after us, we'll fight back.

FEMALE DEMON #2

They are Halliwells. They are the Destined Ones.

ARMAND

We cannot be afraid of them. They are not a threat to us. We have the experience.

The demons cheer.

DEMON #2

Lead us, Armand. Lead us.

The cheers take over. All the demons shout out Armand's name.

DEMONS

Armand! Armand! Armand!

The camera moves away to a corner where someone is quietly leaning against the rock wall next to the entrance; Jared looks at the scene and smirks. Then he turns around and leaves. The demons keep shouting Armand's name.

CUT TO:

EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR - DAY

STOCK.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - WYATT'S BEDROOM - DAY

Jessica is laying on the bed. Her belly is big (31-week equivalent to 7 months pregnant give or take). She's having popcorns, the bucket is resting on her belly.

OFF TO THE BATHROOM'S DOOR - It opens. Wyatt comes from the bathroom, shirtless. It is visible part of the tattoo on the right side of his underbelly.

Jessica stares at him and especially at the tattoo as he walks to the bed and takes the shirt and starts putting it on.

JESSICA

I still think that's sexy.

Wyatt looks at her as he starts buttoning the shirt. Jessica puts the bucket of popcorns aside and stands slowly, pretending that the belly is heavy which actually isn't since it's fake.

WYATT

Heavy?

Jessica smiles at him as she walks towards him.

JESSICA

A little bit. Our baby is going to be big.

Jessica reaches him and touches Wyatt's torso.

JESSICA (CONT'D)

Do you really need to leave?

Wyatt looks away.

WYATT

I need to work, Jess.

JESSICA

Well, I was thinking ---

She gets on her tiptoes and starts kissing his neck.

JESSICA (CONT'D)

I haven't had the chance to show you how much I like that tattoo of yours. We could ---

WYATT

(pushes her back)

We can't.

Jessica steps back and the smile she had on her face disappears.

JESSICA

It's been months, Wyatt.

WYATT

You're pregnant.

JESSICA

(mad)

Don't use the baby as an excuse to not touch me. I'm your damn wife.

Wyatt takes a deep breath.

WYATT

I can't, okay?

JESSICA

Is there someone else, isn't it?

Wyatt and Jessica stare seriously at each other.

WYATT

I just don't feel it. Not while you ---

Wyatt waves to her body.

JESSICA

Do you mean that you don't feel desire for me? For my body?

WYATT

I meant while you carry our baby inside, I don't want to risk yours and the baby's health.

JESSICA

You're been archaic, Wyatt. Pregnancy is not a disease.

WYATT

I know, but ---

(sighs)

--- I just can't.

Wyatt takes his jacket from the bed and walks past her. He leaves the bedroom. Jessica rolls her eyes.

JESSICA

Damn it!

She sits on the bed.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - CORRIDORS - DAY

ON A DEMON - He is hovering an athame between his hands.

Before him are Charlotte and Pandora.

DEMON #4

You witches have reached a dead end.

CHARLOTTE

We just want an answer.

DEMON #4

Armand will take over and vanquish you all.

The demon smirks and then he THROWS the athame towards Charlotte, TELEKINETICALLY.

Pandora reaches out her hands and uses her MOLECULAR INHIBITION power to slow down the movement of the athame which finally stops right in front of Charlotte's face. Charlotte takes the athame and is about to throw it back to the demon when ---

BEAT - The demon is blown up. His GREEN blood spreads out towards Pandora and Charlotte covering them in Green blood.

CHARLOTTE

Damn!

Charlotte and Pandora look at the place where the demon was. Tamora stands a few meters behind where the demon was. She is not covered in the demon's blood. Tamora smiles.

PANDORA

You really had to do that?

TAMORA

I was getting annoyed, okay? Besides, I need to keep practicing. I like what I can do with my powers. I'm getting better at controlling molecules and make them explode without even reaching the firing point.

PANDORA

You could have used fire once it turns them into ashes.

CHARLOTTE

Why aren't you covered in green blood?

TAMORA

Social distancing. Have you ever heard about it?

Charlotte rolls her eyes.

PANDORA

Well, at least we've got a name. Armand.

CHARLOTTE

And learned that the factions are gathering together again to gain control of the Underworld.

PANDORA

And vanquish us.

CHARLOTTE

Would it be even possible that one of these factions do this to us?

TAMORA

No idea. But that's all we've got. Let's go back and report this to the boss in charge!

Tamora and Pandora ORB out as Charlotte BEAMS out.

CUT TO:

INT. PRUE'S CONDO - BEDROOM - DAY

ON A JOURNAL - SOMEONE WRITES ON THE JOURNAL.

IT READS / IT SOUNDS (PRUE'S VOICE):

'Dear, Jo.

It's been over five months since the last time I saw you. I'm on my 31-week pregnant now. Your sisters are giving me hard work. They are kicking so much, even more than you did. It hasn't been easy since I'm too big to go and find a way to get our lives back. And you, of course. Everything looks pretty much the same as when you left. Well, we now remember our true lives, but we have to keep it the way it was until we don't find the responsible for this. Not difficult to pretend with Nate, though. Peri and Patience help a lot. Risk pregnancy is what the doctor called it. It looks like you and your sisters have that in common. This actually comes in handy when it comes to Nate. But is hard. Really hard not to have you here with me. I still can't believe you might be over a year old by now and we didn't have you and Matt here to celebrate the first years of your lives. There's not a single day that passes by without me thinking about you. Where are you, baby? How do I get you back?

Love, mummy!'

Prue sighs. She closes the journal and puts the pen on the desk. She looks down at the tattooed triquetra on her right forearm.

SOMEONE APPROACHES FROM BEHIND - Wyatt kisses her neck from the back. Prue smiles.

PRUE

I thought you were not coming.

Wyatt helps Prue to stand. She looks at him and smiles.

PRUE (CONT'D)

It's heavier than it was when I was pregnant with our Tina.

WYATT

They're two.

Wyatt approaches her and both their lips touch each other.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Did you really think I wouldn't come to see my wife?

PRUE

It took you long today. I don't know how long I will endure this situation. I need you by my side, now more than ever. And I don't like the thought that you share a bed with her.

WYATT

I know. I also don't like it. I'm playing the archaic husband who doesn't want to have sex with his pregnant wife.

Prue gets on her tiptoes and kisses him.

PRUE

I'm your pregnant wife and you are not archaic.

The both of them smile. Wyatt touches Prue's big belly. She's also 31-week pregnant.

WYATT

Where's Bianca?

PRUE

She didn't sleep here last night. Since they arrange a room in P3, they've spent several nights there together.

WYATT

It's insane. This ---

Wyatt glances around.

WYATT (CONT'D)

--- is their home.

PRUE

I know, but I can't just ask Nate to leave and I can't either move back home with you. Mom, offered them a place to stay, but they rather keep Ella away.

WYATT

Well, we both know that she's the one who wasn't supposed to live in the manor.

PRUE

Not the only one. Also, your wife. She was the one who convinced Ella to stay. She had a place in her mind to move to already.

WYATT

I know, and I've asked her to stop interfering in Chris' life. Where's Nate?

PRUE

He left with Andrew. They are going to spend some time with Nate's mom. She is kinda missing her son and grandson.

WYATT

Well, at least he'll be out for a few days.

PRUE

Yeah, and you could stay in.

Wyatt smiles.

WYATT

Sure. I'm gonna have to come up with an excuse, but it'll be arranged.

Prue smiles.

SOUND - Someone ORBING outside the bedroom.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Who's that?

Prue and Wyatt walk out of the bedroom.

CUT TO:

INT. PRUE'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Tamora and Pandora ORB in as Charlotte BEAM in. Wyatt and Prue come in.

PRUE

Hey!

Wyatt and Prue stare at Pandora and Charlotte.

PRUE (CONT'D)

What the hell happened to you?

At that moment, Prue feels a strong kick in her belly. She touches her belly.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Ouch!

(mad)

Fine.

(stares at them)

What happened to you, dearests?

Wyatt shoots Prue a look. Prue looks at him.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(to Wyatt)

Your daughters don't like me to use these kinds of strong words. I believe is Patience, she's the loving one of them.

And then she feels another kick.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Damn it, Per! You're loving too. Peace and love both of you.

Tamora, Pandora, and Charlotte look at Prue.

CHARLOTTE

I'm gonna love your daughters, you know?

WYATT

Well, what happened?

TAMORA

I vanquished this demon and they got caught by his blood.

PANDORA

We've got the dirty part, while my sister was keeping a social distance.

Tamora shrugs.

CHARLOTTE

But we've learned a few things.

PRUE

That's great.

TAMORA

Don't get too excited. We aren't any closer to finding out who change our lives.

WYATT

What have you found then?

CHARLOTTE

The factions. They are getting stronger.

PRUE

There were always factions in the Underworld.

WYATT

Yeah, but they were quiet.

TAMORA

It happens that they are planning to take over now. The stronger one wins.

CHARLOTTE

They need a leader. Apparently, they don't have a good leader since Zankou was vanquished.

PRUE

(melancholic)

Oh, Zankou. What would I give to fight Zankou right now!

TAMORA

You must be crazy.

PRUE

He had a face at least.

PANDORA

Well, the thing is that one of the factions has become popular lately.

TAMORA

Its leader is a demon named Armand.

WYATT

What do we know about him?

CHARLOTTE

Nothing.

PRUE

Well, we need to find out what kind of demon he is.

CHARLOTTE

Don't worry. We can do that.

Prue rolls her eyes.

PRUE

I'm big, I have difficulties in moving fast, but I'm still powerful. I can do that.

They all exchange glances.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Okay. At least I still can head into Magic School and ask the Librarian's help.

WYATT

Honey ---

PRUE

Don't honey me, Wyatt.

Prue sits on the couch.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I'm still powerful and smart. Besides, I have my two little witches to protect me.

(glances at them)

You all should go and pretend you're living your lives.

CHARLOTTE

Are you sure?

Prue nods.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

Then I'll get some sleep. Where's Andrew?

PRUE

Nate went to visit his mother and spend a few days with her. He took Andrew.

CHARLOTTE

Okay.

PANDORA

See ya, guys.

Tamora and Pandora ORB out. Charlotte and Wyatt exchange glances, then Charlotte BEAMS out. Wyatt kneels down and kisses Prue's belly.

PRUE

I'll be fine.

WYATT

I know, All-Mighty Prue Halliwell.

Prue smiles. Wyatt ORBS out. Prue sighs.

CUT TO:

INT. P3 - PRIVATE BATHROOM - DAY

ON THE MIRROR - Bianca's reflection can be seen. She is serious.

Bianca stares at her image on the mirror seriously as if something is on her mind. She's wearing normal clothes. She lowers her glance and ---

BEAT. She holding a pregnancy test.

ON PREGNANCY TEST - It's positive.

Bianca sighs.

SOUND - A knock on the door.

Bianca turns around.

CHRIS (V.O.)

Honey? Are you okay?

Bianca puts the test on the back pocket of her jeans and opens the door. Chris is there, shirtless. She forces a smile.

BIANCA

Hey. Yes.

CHRIS

You've been here for quite some time.

BIANCA

I think I ate something bad.

Bianca passes through him and into the improvised bedroom.

CUT TO:

INT. P3 - IMPROVISED BEDROOM - DAY

The room has only a bed and some boxes with a few clothes. On a corner, there is other boxes mark with the P3 symbol.

Bianca walks towards the bed and sits on the edge. Chris walks towards and his tattoo can be seen from behind. He takes his shirt from the bed as Bianca puts on her shoes.

CHRIS

I'll be at work today. But I've got a text from Charlotte.

BIANCA

How was the hunt last night?

CHRIS

Well, they found out that factions are getting stronger.

BIANCA

They never gave up.

Bianca stands and helps Chris buttoning his shirt.

CHRIS

You might know some of them.

BIANCA

I might.

Chris shoots him a look. Bianca notices it.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

I'll have a look on my fake memories to see if something comes out.

Chris smiles. Bianca half-smiles. He kisses her softly.

CHRIS

I wish you could remember.

BIANCA

Well, I don't.

(lowers her glaze)

I don't even hear his cry anymore.

Chris takes Bianca's face between his hands.

CHRIS

We're gonna get him back.

BIANCA

It's been months, Chris, and only you and your family have their memories back.

CHRIS

I know it's difficult for you ---

Bianca turns around.

BIANCA

Difficult?

(turns to him)

My husband, who I don't remember to be my husband, is still married to some other woman, who has done what she could to call for his attention. And besides that, I have a son I don't remember about, but I know he existed and I'm not any closer to finding him.

Chris can sense the mad tone of Bianca's voice.

CHRIS

I don't feel anything about Ella. You know that.

BIANCA

I know, but she doesn't. She still calls you and looks for you. And we ---

Bianca glances around.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

(sighs)

We have to meet at the back of P3 because our supposed home is not ours in this reality.

CHRIS

I told you we could find someplace else.

Bianca takes a deep breath trying to calm down.

BIANCA

The place is not the problem, Chris. The situation is.

Chris walks towards her.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

I know you feel the same I do, but you remember. I don't.

CHRIS

You will. I promise.

Chris kisses her again.
 

CHRIS (CONT'D)

I could stay with you if you want me.

BIANCA

No. Life can't stop, right? We don't know what will happen when we get back to normal. You need to work and I need to work too. Besides, I have to think of the factions.

(sighs)

I miss Jo.

CHRIS

You need some help here.

BIANCA

Mel comes often. And there are the bartenders.

CHRIS

Have you found what happened with that bartender ---

(thinks)

What's her name?

BIANCA

Loreto.

CHRIS

Right. Loreto.

BIANCA

No. She just vanished the same day Jo did.

Chris looks seriously at Bianca.

CHRIS

That is weird, right?

BIANCA

Don't you think she has something to do with this?

CHRIS

I don't know, B. I just think is weird.

Both stare at each other.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

I need to go.

Bianca nods.

CHRIS

If you need anything ---

BIANCA

I let you know.

Chris smiles and kisses her again. Then he ORBS out. Bianca gets serious.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

(wonders)

Could she had something to do with this?!

Then she touches her belly.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

And now this.

Bianca closes her eyes and takes deep breaths.

CUT TO:

INT. MELISSA'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Melissa comes in holding a cup of coffee in her hands. She's wearing a skirt and a matching top. She seems to be in a rush.

MELISSA

Laptop, laptop.

She glances around and spots the laptop on the couch. She walks towards it and takes it. Then she has a sip of her coffee as she heads to the case on the sideboard and tries to put the laptop in as she holds the cup of coffee.

OFF TO SOMEONE ORBING IN - Junior ORBS in.

JUNIOR

Hey!

Melissa is so distracted that she jumps at the sound of his voice and splits the coffee all over the floor. The cup breaks into pieces as it touches the floor.

MELISSA

(mad)

Damn it!

Melissa looks at him.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

Why don't you guys knock on the door?

JUNIOR

Are there any more guys orbing in here?

Melissa grimaces at him.

MELISSA

Very funny, Mr. 'I know it all'.

JUNIOR

Okay, Issa, it's about time we work on our issues.

MELISSA

I don't have time right now.

JUNIOR

C'mon.

MELISSA

I'm in a rush, Junior. Don't you have to work or something? Or right, you need to find out a way for me to remember all those things about my life that I don't.

JUNIOR

I told you, it's not a major change.

MELISSA

Oh, no?

Melissa takes her hands to her hips.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

In my memory, we dated for months without people knowing about us. It happens that it wasn't exactly like it happened.

JUNIOR

I told you there's no much difference. Just a couple of months late.

MELISSA

A couple of months is something. Of course, I don't need to know much so we can risk that someone finds out.

JUNIOR

That's not it.

MELISSA

Then why don't you let me help out in the search?

JUNIOR

First, because you have no magical powers.

Melissa rolls her eyes. She seems really mad.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

Then, if you research on your own, we can risk exposing our secret to the one who screwed our lives.

Melissa takes a deep breath.

MELISSA

I told you I would only do it with you by my side.

JUNIOR

Issa ---

MELISSA

Don't, J. I need to work.

Melissa looks at the mess on the floor.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I'll clean up later.

She takes her briefcase and her bag and turns to leave. Then she turns to Junior.

MELISSA

I'm a little late. Can you give me a ride?

Junior smiles and nods. He approaches her and then holds her hand. He ORBS out taking her.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT ONE

ACT TWO

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY

FAST MOTION AERIAL VIEW.

CUT TO:

INT. JARED'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Jared is comfortably sitting on the couch as he watches her sister pacing the room. He rolls his eyes.

JESSICA

He can't do this to me. Using the baby as an excuse.

Jessica sounds mad.

JARED

A baby that doesn't exist.

Jessica stops and stares at him.

JARED (CONT'D)

I'm so tired of your dramas, Jess.

(stands)

You should have fixed that problem months ago.

JESSICA

That was the idea.

JARED

Well, I'm really interested in how are you going to fix it now. It's clear that you won't get pregnant any time soon and if you do, well, you'll have a lot of explaining to do.

JESSICA

I know.

Jared stares at her seriously. She sits on one of the couches.

JESSICA (CONT'D)

You want an heir with Warren blood you can shape your way, isn't it?

Jared shoots her a look.

JARED

You know I do.

JESSICA

Then, don't worry. I'm thinking of something that it might work.

JARED

Can I know what's going through your mind?

Jessica smiles.

JESSICA

You will in the right moment. As for now, everything seems normal, apart from the fact that Wyatt and Prue seem to have a cordial relationship. Which I don't like, but ---

JARED

They are cousins, Jess. I know you don't like her, but you need to pretend you don't care.

JESSICA

As far as she stays away from my marriage. Have you used your water vision?

JARED

(rolls his eyes)

It's a water pit.

JESSICA

Whatever. Have you?

Jared nods.

JARED

It seems like Prue has completely forgotten her old life. Just like the others.

JESSICA

At least that.

JARED

There's something else happening.

Jared turns to face her.

JARED (CONT'D)

The factions. They are becoming more popular.

JESSICA

There was always a faction, Jared. They need to be led.

JARED

I am the leader they need. I just can let them know yet. But that's not the problem. That comes to help actually.

JESSICA

How?

Jared smirks.

JARED

It keeps them distracted. There is this demon. Armand.

Jessica gets thoughtful.

JESSICA

I believe I've heard of him.

JARED

You might. He was trained in the demonic academy back when the Source was in charge. He might become very powerful.

JESSICA

Is that a good thing?

JARED

It is. Only that he might try to attack the Halliwells.

JESSICA

So?

JARED

That would come in handy.

Jessica stares seriously at him.

JARED

I just need an heir. I don't need the others and as far as the family reduces in number, less are the chances for them to find out what's going on and reverse it.

JESSICA

Do you mean that if one of them gets killed we should rejoice?

Jared smiles.

JARED

Indeed.

JESSICA

It would be great if one of the casualties turns out to be Prue.

JARED

Now, now, sis.

Jared smirks.

JARED (CONT'D)

Don't be that evil.

JESSICA

A woman can dream.

Both brother and sister look at each other and smirk.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - ARMAND'S HEADQUARTER CAVE - DAY

Armand enters the cave and glances around. He smiles.

ARMAND

Big enough to gather demons here.

The cave is big indeed.

ALEXIA (O.S.)

I'm glad you like it.

OFF TO A WOMAN - ALEXIA (looks 30's) comes into the cave. She wears a revealing and sassy two pieces red gown that only covers her breast, arms, and lower body, leaving her belly to be shown, a seductress. This woman is a Seer.

Armand turns around and looks at her as she approaches him. She puts her arms around his shoulders and kisses him. Then they smile at each other.

ALEXIA

Gathering the faction in the bar is not a good idea. This is a much private place.

ARMAND

How did you find it?

Alexia glances around and smiles.

ALEXIA

It was supposed to be taken by a leader.

(turns to Armand)

She was killed before her time.

ARMAND

Do you mean another faction leader?

ALEXIA

(smirks)

She was more than that. She didn't even know the true extent of her powers. Her name was Leah.

ARMAND

Never heard of her.

ALEXIA

Obviously. Well, darling, now you need to prove to everyone that you are the right person to raise as leader of the Underworld.

ARMAND

More demons join our faction every day.

ALEXIA

It's not enough. You need to put an end on them.

ARMAND

The Halliwells.

ALEXIA

They carry Warren blood, Armand. While there's one alive, we, demons, have no chance to rise up.

OFF TO A DEMON - Best known as SCORPIO (30's), the demon comes in.

Alexia turns to Scorpio.

ALEXIA (CONT'D)

Armand, meet Scorpio.

Armand and Scorpio turn at each other.

ALEXIA

Scorpio has a particular power that might come in handy.

ARMAND

(to Scorpio)

I heard about you.

Alexia smiles as she turns to Armand.

ALEXIA

He was already making a name for himself back in the Academy.

Armand smiles.

SCORPIO

I was part of the students with rare powers.

ARMAND

I guess it has something to do with your nickname.

SCORPIO

My tail ---

Armand smiles sarcastically.

ARMAND

Of course, a tail.

ALEXIA

Scorpion Demons are very rare. There're a few of them and they don't belong to a specific faction. Scorpio here ---

(smiles at Scorpio)

--- Is the powerful one of them and the leader of a small brotherhood of Scorpion demons. His stinger tail can release venom so powerful that the victim could die in a couple of seconds.

ARMAND

Is that so?

Scorpio nods.

SCORPIO

Among other powers.

ARMAND

And you want to join my faction?

SCORPIO

That's correct.

Armand smirks.

ARMAND

The Warren Line, ever heard about them?

SCORPIO

Who hasn't?!

ARMAND

Would you go against them?

Scorpio glances at Alexia who nods. Then he looks at Armand.

SCORPIO

Just tell me what you need.

ARMAND

Simple.

(smirks)

I need them all dead. Then I'll become the King of the Underworld.

Armand keeps smiling. Scorpio and Alexia look at each other.

Chris comes in followed by Melissa.

MELISSA

C'mon, Chris.

Chris rolls his eyes and turns to her.

CHRIS

If Junior doesn't want you in the middle of this, then you shouldn't.

MELISSA

But why's that?

CHRIS

He's just trying to protect you, okay?

MELISSA

I bet Bianca knows more than I do. I wonder what Ella thinks about it? Did you betray her for real?

Chris looks aside.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

You guys are not telling me everything.

CHRIS

We just want to keep you safe.

Melissa rolls her eyes.

MELISSA

I didn't know about magic there, isn't it?

CHRIS

You knew about magic. You are the guardian of Gadreel's Medallion. Sebastian is your cousin.

MELISSA

Yeah, right, a demon almost killed me because of that.

CHRIS

Exactly. Wait!

Chris stares seriously at her.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

Who was that demon?

MELISSA

Am I supposed to know? You and Wyatt try to look for him, but he was vanquished before you could find him.

CHRIS

(thoughtful)

Right. I think I have memories of it. Fake, but I do.

MELISSA

So, that's it. The demon is still alive, that's why you aren't telling me anything, right?

CHRIS

In our reality, he was vanquished.

Melissa gets annoyed.

MELISSA

Then why can't you guys tell me everything?

CHRIS

Because you could say the wrong thing to the wrong person!

Melissa's eyes widen.

MELISSA

So, you guys don't trust me?

Chris tries to amend the situation.

CHRIS

It has nothing to do with trust. But unintentionally ---

MELISSA

Unintentionally my ass, Chris.

Melissa is really mad.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I could help, you know. I'm sure no one has eyes on me.

CHRIS

We don't know that, Melissa. We don't know who we are dealing with. And please, try not to talk about this matter with Eric, Ethan, or even Sebastian. If one of us is not present, ---

MELISSA

(cuts him off)

The evil character can learn that you have your right memories back.

Melissa crosses her arms over her chest.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

Don't worry. I know the rules.

CHRIS

Thanks. Now can we go to the daily meeting? Or else, Wyatt will get mad at us.

Melissa rolls her eyes and then turns to leave. Chris sighs. He takes some documents from his desk and leaves the office.

CUT TO:

INT. BAY MIRROR - MIRROR'S MAGAZINE - MEETING ROOM - DAY (SHORTLY AFTER)

Around the oval table are Chris, Melissa, and some other reporters and columnists. Wyatt is in the head. Wyatt analyses some documents.

WYATT

Well, this is big.

(to Melissa)

Can you get an interview with the guy?

MELISSA

Sure, I can.

Melissa nods.

WYATT

What else?

A woman, VERA (40's), with a very funny style (she wears a colorful flowery dress in purple tones with a purple cardigan, colorful glasses, and funky jewelry, also a fake daisy in her head, and purple lipstick) is sitting across from Chris. She raises up her hand.

WYATT

Vera?

VERA

Well, I was thinking in the astrology column.

WYATT

We have already agreed in publishing a book with the predictions of each sign for next year.

VERA

Yes, I'm already working on that. Now, 2037 is the year of the Snake in the Chinese Calendar. I was thinking to post a matter about it.

MELISSA

(rolls her eyes)

What are you? A witch? Who believes in that?

Vera looks at Melissa.

VERA

Astrology is important in people's lives and no, I'm not a witch. I'm an Astrologist, Tarologist, and Numerologist in case you haven't notice.

MELISSA

Oh, I have.

Melissa looks away. Vera turns to Wyatt.

WYATT

Work on that, Vera.

VERA

Thanks, Wyatt. I'm glad that there's someone in this magazine that takes my work very seriously.

Vera shoots Melissa a look. Melissa rolls her eyes.

WYATT

Anything else?

Chris speaks.

CHRIS

I've got the pics from last week's party. You know. The charity party to help the people affected by hurricane Flora that hit Florida last October.

WYATT

Who covered the party?

MELISSA

I did.

WYATT

Well, you've got redoubled work, Melissa. It'll keep you busy.

Melissa smiles sarcastically.

WYATT (CONT'D)

That's all, guys. You can get back to work.

Everybody nods and stands. Vera looks at Melissa.

VERA

I can give you a reading, you know? Maybe it'll help.

Melissa rolls her eyes. Wyatt glances from one to another.

WYATT

I'll take one of those someday, Vera.

Vera smiles at Wyatt. Then they all start heading out.

WYATT (CONT'D)

You two.

Wyatt points to Chris and Melissa.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Stay.

Melissa and Chris look at Wyatt. All the others leave.

WYATT

(to Melissa)

What the hell is going on with you?

CHRIS

She's pissed off because Junior has asked her to stay away from the search we're doing.

Wyatt and Chris stare at each other.

MELISSA

You guys are keeping me in the dark. You're not telling me the whole story.

WYATT

(to Chris)

I thought Junior had it all under control.

MELISSA

He hasn't and believe me, I'll keep the sex strike until you guys tell me everything.

CHRIS

Sex strike?

Melissa shoots them a look.

WYATT

It's not his fault. He's just doing what we asked.

MELISSA

Oh, so, you asked him to keep secrets from me?

Chris and Wyatt look at each other.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I'm sure Jessica and the others are aware of the full story.

WYATT

She isn't.

Melissa is surprised.

MELISSA

What? She's your wife.

WYATT

That's not entirely true.

Melissa's eyes widen.

MELISSA

What?

WYATT

We can't tell you.

MELISSA

You can trust me, Wyatt. Damnit! We've known each other for years.

Chris and Wyatt look at each other.

CHRIS

Maybe we can tell her.

Wyatt looks at Melissa. Then he nods. Melissa stares at them seriously.

They walk towards Prue. Leo hugs Prue. Then he looks at her and smiles.

You're big.

Prue smiles.

PRUE

They are kicking a lot, believe me.

Paige smiles.

PAIGE

Oh, the joy of expecting twins.

The three of them laugh.

Paige shoots him a look. Leo looks at Paige.

There are two of you here.

People may listen.

Leo glances at Paige.

PAIGE

We don't know who's behind this. All care is little.

Leo smiles. Then he turns to the students.

PAIGE

And what's my pregnant niece doing here?

PRUE

Secret Library.

PAIGE

Right. Your favorite place in this school.

PRUE

It has become indeed.

(lowers her gaze)

I'm sad for him. Not remembering.

PAIGE

Leo will be fine. And it's best that he doesn't remember his granddaughter and grandson. It's hard for us. Imagine him.

PRUE

I know.

PAIGE

But he's not that anxious to meet Jessica's baby as he is to meet yours.

PRUE

Jessica's baby!

Paige notices that Prue didn't like to hear that name.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

Sorry, Prue, but the baby is not to be blamed.

PRUE

That baby was apparently conceived when we were still living our real lives, so I doubt is Wyatt's.

PAIGE

We don't know that and from Wyatt's fake memories, he believes she might be expecting his child. We don't know how things work here.

PRUE

Yeah, whatever. Aunt Paige, I really don't want to talk about it.

PAIGE

Fine. Need help?

PRUE

No.

I'll use the help of the hot Librarian.

Paige laughs.

PAIGE

Don't tell Henry, but damn, that Librarian is hot indeed.

Both of them laugh.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTIC - DAY

Melinda is sitting on the sill of one of the windows. The Book of Shadows is open on her lap. She's flipping the BOS.

OFF TO DEMONS - Two Scorpion Demons FADE in. Their fading method is characterized by a brown color that is swept down when appearing and swept up when disappearing. The two demons are still in human shape.

By the corner of her eyes, Melinda realizes she's not alone. She glances at them.

MELINDA

What the hell?!

Then, they take a deep breath and suddenly some parts of their bodies appear; the hands are replaced by pedipalps (pincers), a long tail appears in each one of the. The tail ends with a stinger and also, four more pairs of walking legs in each one of them.

Melinda jumps in astonishment dropping the book on the floor.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Seriously?!

Melinda closes her eyes and a few seconds later her ASTRAL SELF appears beside her. Melinda opens her eyes and looks at her astral self as her astral self looks at her back.

ASTRAL MELINDA

Getting faster.

Both Melindas look at the demons.

ASTRAL MELINDA (CONT'D)

Scorpions?

MELINDA

We hate Scorpions.

One of the Scorpion Demons climbs vertically the walls without falling and he moves fast towards them; this power is called WALL CRAWLING. The other one approaches them.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

What do we do?

ASTRAL MELINDA

Fight.

MELINDA

How?

Both of them look at each other as they get closer. Then they turn to them.

ASTRAL MELINDA

Freeze them!

Melinda WAVES her hands and they seem to slow down their moves, but don't stop completely.

ASTRAL MELINDA (CONT'D)

Oh, great, you just slowed them down.

MELINDA

Your idea.

ASTRAL MELINDA

I'll try to orb them out.

MELINDA

To where?

The demons move faster and one of them reaches out his tail towards Melinda who WAVES her hands again slowing him down. Both Melindas get closer. They look at each other and seem to be thinking the same.

OFF TO ELLA - She comes in and stops astonished as she sees the whole scene.

ELLA

Wow!

Scorpion Demon #1 turns to Ella and starts approaching her. Astral Melinda WAVES her hands.

ASTRAL MELINDA

'Atlantic Ocean'.

Both demons are surrounded by ORBS and then they are orbed out of there. Both Melindas take a deep breath.

ELLA

What was that?

ASTRAL MELINDA

Something I've never seen before.

MELINDA

They look like scorpions.

ELLA

They were scorpions.

MELINDA

Shapeshifters maybe?

Astral Melinda turns to Melinda.

ASTRAL MELINDA

Did you notice the sting? It looked like there was real venom there. If you need me ---

Astral Melinda disappears. Melinda turns to Ella.

Melinda sighs.

Phoebe and Eric are standing in the doorway staring at a sleeping Charlotte who lays comfortable on her bed.

ERIC

What time did she come in?

PHOEBE

It was morning already. I was about to leave for Bay Mirror when she arrived. I decided to stay and work from home.

ERIC

Well, at least I can jump in bed and sleep together with her. Once we both worked the night shift.

Phoebe shoots him a look and Eric notices.

ERIC (CONT'D)

I mean, if you don't mind ---

PHOEBE

I was your age once, Eric.

Phoebe smiles. Then she gets serious.

PHOEBE (CONT'D)

But don't let Coop know that you sleep here when he's on long missions with his charges. He loves to believe his daughters are little girls.

ERIC

What does he think we are doing when she spends the night at my flat?

PHOEBE

Oh, honey, he likes to imagine you two playing cards.

Both of them laugh.

PHOEBE (CONT'D)

I need to get back to my computer. Have some rest.

Eric nods. Phoebe leaves the bedroom. Eric takes his jacket off and lays next to Charlotte in bed. He puts an arm around her waist as she is next to him.

Oh, hey, honey! Didn't know you were at home.

Cassandra looks at Phoebe.

CASSANDRA

I've got the afternoon off. Damon and I are going on a hunt. If we can call it a hunt.

Phoebe sits at the table before her computer.

PHOEBE

Are you going to spend the night out?

Cassandra shakes her head. She sits across the table in front of Phoebe and puts her mobile phone on the table.

CASSANDRA

No. We'll only hang around and see if we hear something.

PHOEBE

Pay attention to the name Armand.

CASSANDRA

The demon leader of the faction.

PHOEBE

Exactly. We don't know what kind of demon he might be.

CASSANDRA

Sure. Did you hear that Mel was attacked?

PHOEBE

By whom?

CASSANDRA

No idea. I resetted my brain when I heard the word venom.

PHOEBE

What?

CASSANDRA

Don't mention anything to Damon. She asked me to keep him away from this otherwise he'll get worried that she's fighting this unknown entity.

PHOEBE

Well, I might help her.

CASSANDRA

Good.

SOUND - Cassandra's mobile phone. A text.

Cassandra takes the phone and reads the text. As she does, a smile pops into her face. Phoebe notices.

PHOEBE

Who is it?

Cassandra looks at her mother.

CASSANDRA

Sorry?

PHOEBE

The one who made you smile.

CASSANDRA

Oh ---

Cassandra glances from her phone to her mother and tries to give it no relevance.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

It's just my boo. He uses to text me when he is bored in a meeting.

PHOEBE

Your boss is the same as mine and he doesn't look the type of texting or being bored in a meeting. And why would he text you?

Cassandra gets nervous.

CASSANDRA

I text him with jokes.

Phoebe is suspicious.

PHOEBE

Is there anything between the two of you?

CASSANDRA

No. Mom, no. Johnathan and I are just friends.

PHOEBE

Johnathan, huh?!

Cassandra doesn't know what to say.

OFF TO DAMON - He SHIMMERS in.

DAMON

Hey, ready to go?

Cassandra and Damon look at each other. Cassandra nods.

CASSANDRA

Sure.

Saved by the bell. They look at Phoebe.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

You said you would tell me everything.

WYATT

Everything is an understatement.

MELISSA

Wyatt!

Wyatt takes a deep breath.

MELISSA

How come Jessica is not your wife? She's pregnant!

WYATT

Yeah, she is.

CHRIS

We actually don't know how that happened.

MELISSA

Do you want me to draw you a picture?

CHRIS

That's not what I meant.

Wyatt stands and paces the place.

WYATT

Jessica got pregnant before.

MELISSA

Before?

WYATT

Before we were dragged into this.

Melissa gets serious.

MELISSA

Well, maybe you had a relationship with her in the ---

WYATT

I'm married to Prue.

Melissa's eyes widen. She's astonished.

MELISSA

Prue, Prue?

Wyatt looks at her and nods.

MELISSA

You're cousins.

CHRIS

Yeah, we got over that years ago. Well, I never had issues with that, but the family is happy with it and that's it.

(pauses)

They are soul mates. Their souls find each other in every life they live.

MELISSA

And you guys know that because ---

WYATT

Because we've seen it.

Melissa smiles sarcastically.

MELISSA

(sarcastic)

And Junior said there wasn't so much difference between what was and what is now!

WYATT

Not with you and Junior.

MELISSA

Maybe nothing that affects my relationship with Junior that much, but we're talking about you and me.

Melissa stands and starts pacing the room as Wyatt and Chris look at her.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

Jessica hit on you before we broke up.

WYATT

Yeah, but I never ---

MELISSA

I know you never had anything with her till the day we broke up, but I always thought that you were interested in her from before.

WYATT

Yeah, but I got to know her better after we broke up.

(pauses)

Then we grow distant and after college, you left town. Well, that's what I know happened in this reality.

CHRIS

The rest is pretty much the same as it was. The difference is that what you remember is that Wyatt dated Jessica after you when he actually didn't.

WYATT

There were others until five years ago when Prue and I admitted our feelings for each other.

Melissa sighs and sits. Wyatt sits as well.

MELISSA

And you married her.

WYATT

And you tried to seduce me before at my bachelor party. You found out our secret then.

MELISSA

That hasn't changed.

WYATT

Indeed.

Melissa takes a deep breath. Then she looks at Chris.

MELISSA

What else?

Wyatt and Chris exchange glances.

MELISSA

(to Chris)

You're not married to Ella either, are you?

Chris looks at her.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

Bianca?

Chris nods.

CHRIS

Bianca is my wife. I never had anything with Ella. And also ---

(pauses)

--- We had a child.

MELISSA

What? Where is it?

CHRIS

We don't know.

WYATT

As I don't know where's my child either.

MELISSA

Your ---?

Melissa is astonished.

CHRIS

Issa, you cannot tell anyone.

WYATT

We cannot destroy Nate and Ella's life with that information.

MELISSA

They're living a lie, Wyatt.

WYATT

We all are.

CHRIS

Whoever did this might have an eye on us. Do you understand why we need to be extremely careful about this?

MELISSA

Do you think one of them has something to do with it? Nate or Ella? Or even Jessica?

WYATT

No. Nate is not a magical being and Ella is our friend since we were children.

MELISSA

And Jessica?

WYATT

We've met Jessica in college, at least in this reality. I don't remember meeting her in my real life. She doesn't have any powers to do something like this. We are dealing with someone much more powerful.

CHRIS

So powerful that altered our lives.

Melissa sighs.

WYATT

We need to be careful, Melissa.

Wyatt and Chris are serious. Melissa looks at them and nods.

MELINDA (V.O.)

A tail. Each one of them. They look like scorpions with a human-like appearance.

PRUE

You've got to be kidding me, right.

MELINDA (V.O.)

Wish I was. I've looked in the BOS, but there's nothing there.

OFF TO THE LIBRARIAN - He comes in carrying a book opened. He looks at Prue.

PRUE

I'll be right there.

MELINDA (O.S.)

Don't. You need to stay where you are. We can deal with it.

PRUE

I'm not sick, Mel.

MELINDA (O.S.)

No, you're pregnant and I don't want anything happening to my nieces.

PRUE

Then why did you call me?

MELINDA (O.S.)

Because you are my encyclopedia.

PRUE

Well, I know nothing about scorpion-like demons.

Prue looks at the Librarian.

PRUE (CONT'D)

But I'll see what I can find out.

MELINDA (O.S.)

Thanks. Take care of ---

PRUE

Your nieces. Right.

Prue hangs off the phone abruptly. Then she puts the phone on the desk. She's mad.

LIBRARIAN

They just want you to be safe.

Prue looks at him.

PRUE

It's been months. I'm living a fake life for months and I'm not even able to discharge some energy by vanquishing some demons.

LIBRARIAN

It's a risk pregnancy.

PRUE

That's what it was told to Nate so he won't push me to be his wife. Not the real truth. Well, it's risky because there are two of them inside my belly, but that's all.

The Librarian shoots her a look. Prue sits.

PRUE (CONT'D)

They are getting heavy, but I need to use my powers to the fullest.

Prue looks at the Librarian.

PRUE (CONT'D)

That's my way to relax when I'm stressed out.

LIBRARIAN

And that's the way they can protect you. Have you thought that they don't want to lose any other child?

Prue looks seriously at him.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

Jo and Matt?

Prue lowers her gaze. Her eyes get wet.

PRUE

I miss them too, but I am ---

LIBRARIAN

Prue Halliwell, yes, I know.

The Librarian walks towards her and puts the book on the desk.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

Then, Prue Halliwell, why don't we find out how to vanquish Scorpion demons so you can help your family by giving them the information they need.

PRUE

I won't be using my powers.

LIBRARIAN

You'll be using something better than that.

They stare at each other.

Normal. The woman is pregnant and not sick.

Melinda and Phoebe exchange glances.

PHOEBE

It's a risk pregnancy. She's expecting twins.

ELLA

We are talking about a powerful witch. She doesn't seem that bad to me.

PHOEBE

Well, she is. She needs to be patient and not risk the babies. We can't lose them too.

Melinda shoots Phoebe a look.

ELLA

Phoebe has realized she spoke too much.

PHOEBE

I mean, we've had lost enough in this family.

ELLA

Right.

So, what do we do?

MELINDA

Well, those demons will be back. That wasn't a random attack.

PHOEBE

Exactly. So, it can be assumed they will be back.

MELINDA

The factions are winning power and their main goal is to win the leadership of the Underworld. Attacking us and succeeding will give any of them the leadership.

ELLA

Wow, what a theory! I know they are down there working against the rest of us up here, but things have been calm for years. There's one or another that is crazy enough to face the Halliwells, but ---

PHOEBE

It's time for you to know that the factions are indeed on the move. The quiet time you remember is fake.

MELINDA

Aunt Phoebe!

PHOEBE

They've been quiet. They're not anymore.

ELLA

Meaning that since the Power of Nine was activated they got stronger and bolder?

PHOEBE

The Power of Nine ---

MELINDA

(cuts Phoebe off)

Exactly, El. That's exactly what's going on.

Phoebe and Melinda glance at each other.

ELLA

Well, I'll get the crystal all over the place.

Melinda nods.

MELINDA

I'm gonna search the internet. Maybe there's something about it on the web.

Ella turns and leaves the attic. Melinda looks at Phoebe.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Calmer?

Phoebe sighs.

PHOEBE

I just feel that sometimes I need to blow out everything I've got inside.

MELINDA

I know.

Melinda approaches her and hugs her.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

We are going to find Jo and bring our whole life back.

(breaks the hug)

And we need to be strong for Prue and Bianca.

Phoebe gets sadder.

PHOEBE

Poor Bianca. She doesn't even remember her son.

MELINDA

Yes. Well, I'm working on a potion.

PHOEBE

Messing with memories can be dangerous, Mel. If you don't believe me, ask your mother.

MELINDA

I know. That's why I haven't said anything to her. I want to be 100% sure about it. But now, we have some demons to deal with.

PHOEBE

I should better ask Paige to be here. The healing power can be useful.

MELINDA

Yeah. Die by venom is not in my plans today.

Phoebe takes off her mobile phone from her pocket and dials a number.

CUT TO:

INT. PLANE OF NOTHINGNESS - UNKNOWN TIME OF DAY

A tired Jo wonders around. She seems confused. The light fallows where she steps, not allowing her to see past that.

JO

Hello?

Jo stops and glances around.

JO (CONT'D)

Loreto, I know you were the one who put me here. At least I deserve an explanation.

Jo exhales. She seems really exhausted.

JO (CONT'D)

I just ---

ON JO'S FACE - Her eyes get wet. A tear runs down her cheeks.

JO (CONT'D)

I miss them. I wanted more time with them. Mom ---

(swallows)

Dad. They don't even remember me. How are they going to fix this if they don't know that I exist?!

No one answers her question.

JO (CONT'D)

C'mon! You can't just leave me for all eternity.

SOUND - BABIES CRYING.

Jo glances around as she hears the crying.

JO (CONT'D)

What's that?

She wipes her cheeks and glances around.

JO (CONT'D)

(out loud)

Who's there?

OFF TO - A LIGHT comes on. There can be seen two cribs.

Jo is astonished at it and doesn't think twice. She walks towards them as the crying gets more intense as she approaches.

Once she's finally next to the cribs, her eyes widen.

JO (CONT'D)

What ---

ON THE CRIBS - Two babies. Each one of them is in their respective crib. A baby boy and a baby girl.

Jo approaches even more and gets astonished as she recognizes the babies. 

JO (CONT'D)

That's me and ---

(looks at the baby boy)

Matt.

The babies keep crying loudly. She approaches Matt and holds him in her arms.

JO (CONT'D)

Hey, big cous. What are you doing here?

She looks at baby Tina.

JO (CONT'D)

What am I doing here?!

ON JO'S FACE - She is serious.

CUT TO:

INT. WHITMORE MANOR - HOME OFFICE - DAY

Tamora is sitting at the desk. She's on the phone. She seems tired and annoyed.

TAMORA

Yes, no. I'm not at the office today, but I can assure you that it will all be ready for your arrival, Mr. De Alarcão.

(pauses)

Whitmore Enterprises is sponsoring your exhibition here in San Francisco. That includes the inauguration reception and all the marketing related to it. We've got people working on that.

(smiles)

Well, it's not every day we get an Egyptologist and archaeologist in town.

(grimaces)

Yes, I know. The mummy won't travel alone.

(pauses)

Sure. Bye.

Tamora hangs off the phone. She exhales.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

(looks at the phone)

You're lucky that you own one of the most amazing collections of Egyptian archeological artifacts.

OFF TO SEBASTIAN - He comes in.

SEBASTIAN

And don't forget.

Tamora looks at him. He stops in front of her.

SEBASTIAN / TAMORA

The best-conserved mummy that has been found.

They smile at each other.

SEBASTIAN

You two will get along.

TAMORA

Are we? I want to kill the man and I haven't even met him.

Sebastian smiles as he approaches her. Tamora stands. Sebastian kisses her softly.

SEBASTIAN

Carlos can be annoying, but he is a good person with a great passion for what he does.

TAMORA

I know, you've told me that.

Stares at him.
 

TAMORA (CONT'D)

Once you know him, don't you want to take my place and organize the exhibition?

Sebastian smiles.

SEBASTIAN

I'm the sponsor, honey.

TAMORA

(makes sweet eyes)

Please?

SEBASTIAN

You'll be fine.

TAMORA

If I keep hunting nonstop day in day out.

SEBASTIAN

Well, tonight is a day out and I suggest we order pizza and eat in bed.

TAMORA

Don't tempt me.

SEBASTIAN

(makes sweet eyes)

Please?

Tamora smiles. They kiss.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - ARMAND'S HEADQUARTER CAVE - DAY

SOUND - LOUD SCREAM. Armand is mad.

Next to him are Alexia and Scorpio.

SCORPIO

We tried again, but they protected the house.

Armand walks towards Scorpio with a mad expression.

ARMAND

Make sure you find a way in. I need them dead.

SCORPIO

I will. I command the attack myself.

Scorpio FADES out. Armand breaths fast. Alexia stares seriously at him.

ALEXIA

A leader needs to know how to be patient.

Armand turns to Alexia.

ARMAND

A small misstep can cost me the lead of the entire Underworld.

ALEXIA

I know. But patience is a virtue.

They stare at each other seriously.

CUT TO BLACK.

ACT FOUR

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. BAY MIRROR - MIRROR'S MAGAZINE - WYATT'S OFFICE - DAY

Wyatt is at his desk on the phone while Chris and Junior are talking.

JUNIOR

(mad)

You asked me to keep her away from this as much as possible and now you're telling me you've told her the whole thing?

CHRIS

We needed to. She was suspicious and you better than anyone knows how annoying and persistent she can be.

JUNIOR

A sex strike, Chris!

CHRIS

(grimaces)

Sorry about that.

OFF TO MELISSA - She comes in and closes the door behind her.

MELISSA

My matter is almost done. Chris, we need to send it to print.

CHRIS

Fine.

Melissa looks at Junior and smiles.

MELISSA

Hi, honey.

Chris smiles. Junior is astonished.

JUNIOR

Are you kidding me, right?

MELISSA

(funny)

I'll show you later how playful I can be.

Melissa laughs.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

But hey, I've been thinking. Does Eric, Ethan, and Sebastian know everything?

CHRIS

Eric and Sebastian. Ethan doesn't.

MELISSA

Because ---

CHRIS

Because he took it badly when he found out in real life. We don't know what his reaction would be if we tell him magic is real.

MELISSA

Makes sense. Well, at least I'm not the last to know. There're at least others.

WYATT

(on the phone)

Okay, fine. But please, be careful. Scorpio demons are something I never heard of. Bye.

Wyatt hangs off the phone. The others look at him.

CHRIS

Scorpio demons?

Wyatt sighs.

WYATT

What else is new?!

CHRIS

Do they need help?

WYATT

Mel is not alone. She'll keep us updated.

MELISSA

Is this normal?

They look at Melinda.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I mean in our real life?

JUNIOR

Yes, honey, it is.

They all exchange glances.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

And I thought Ruby was the worse we could deal with.

CHRIS

I miss the Red Witch.

Wyatt stares at Chris.

WYATT

At least she had a face.

Wyatt stares at the frame on his desk.

ON FRAME - It id of Jessica. She's smiling big in her wedding dress.

He is serious. Then he takes the phone and sends a text.

CUT TO:

EXT. GOLDEN GATE PARK - DAY

Bianca is sitting on a bench. It looks like she's waiting for someone.

OFF TO SOMEONE - The person wears black clothes with a black sweet hoodie. The hood covers her face which is barely seen. Her name is RAE (looks 30's). She walks fast towards Bianca. Once she gets there, she sits beside Bianca. It seems like they know each other, but pretend not to.

BIANCA

Did someone saw you?

RAE

No one, I believe.

BIANCA

Thank you for coming.

RAE

We are sisters, Bianca. Phoenix sisters.

BIANCA

Our coven is broken.

RAE

But we are still out there. Siobhan is on the run. We haven't heard from her.

BIANCA

How many are with you?

RAE

We are five now. The others went after Siobhan. They still believe she must reconstitute the coven.

Rae looks at Bianca.

RAE (CONT'D)

We believe you must.

Bianca looks at Rae.

BIANCA

The whole purpose of the Phoenix Witches is different for me now.

RAE

We are ready to follow you, B. No matter what the purpose of our coven is.

Bianca lowers her gaze.

RAE (CONT'D)

I just wish I knew what really happened.

Both women look forward.

RAE (CONT'D)

It wasn't because of that why you asked me to meet you, right?

BIANCA

No. I need to know what's happening down there. Once you're hiding in the Underworld.

RAE

Do you mean the factions?

Bianca nods.

RAE (CONT'D)

There're a few. Everyone wants to win.

BIANCA

How?

Rae looks at Bianca.

RAE

You know how to. The one thing that'll grant one of them the leadership is the Halliwells. Or better saying their dead bodies.

(pauses)

Armand is getting popular.

BIANCA

What do you know about him?

RAE

Not much. Only that he was trained at the Academy.

BIANCA

I know it's a lot to ask of you, but could you ---

RAE

Yes.

Bianca and Rae look at each other.

RAE (CONT'D)

As I said, we want to follow you as our leader. So, yes. We'll see what we can learn about Armand.

BIANCA

Thank you, Rae. Be careful.

RAE

Always.

Rae stands and walks away. Bianca watches her walking away and then she touches her belly.

BIANCA

Maybe you can do that. Unite the Phoenix and change their whole purpose.

(smiles)

Well, who says you're a girl? You might be a boy.

Bianca looks up and takes a deep breath.

CUT TO:

INT. MATTHEWS / MITCHELL MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY

SOUND - THE FRONT DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES RIGHT AFTER.

Soon Pandora comes in followed by Junior.

PANDORA

You should be happy now that she knows everything.

JUNIOR

Worried, better saying.

Junior sits on the couch as Pandora stares at him.

PANDORA

At least you can share with her our problems to the fullest. I have to keep my boyfriend in the dark because he knows nothing about magic in this reality.

Junior glances at her.

JUNIOR

It's just that I know her. I know she can't keep quiet. Do you know that she visits websites to learn more about the Wiccan world?

PANDORA

It's normal. Her ancestors had a connection with the magical world. She's the guardian of Gadreel's medallion, remember?

JUNIOR

How could I forget?!

PANDORA

Then, get over it. It's actually a good thing that she knows the whole thing. The more the merrier.

JUNIOR

She has no way to defend herself.

PANDORA

But you do.

Junior stands. Both stare at each other.

JUNIOR

You're right. I'm going to become Melissa's shadow.

PANDORA

(astonished)

What?

Junior turns around and leaves.

PANDORA (CONT'D)

That's not what I meant.

Junior doesn't come back.

PANDORA (CONT'D)

Bro? Junior?

Pandora sighs.

PANDORA (CONT'D)

Crap!

She grimaces and leaves the bedroom.

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY TURNING INTO EVENING

The sun starts to set.

AERIAL FOOTAGE ALL OVER THE TOWN.

CUT TO:

INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - SECRET LIBRARY - EVENING

Prue is at one of the desks flipping through the book's pages.

PRUE

Nothing about Scorpion demons in here.

OFF TO THE DOUBLE DOORS - They pop open. Alex and Michaela come in. They spot Prue.

ALEX

I guess we are not alone.

Prue raises her eyes and sees them.

PRUE

Sorry, if I blew up your love nest.

Alex and Michaela exchange glances.

ALEX

We are not ---

PRUE

Yes, I know.

(smiles)

I'm also a cupid, you know?

Alex and Michaela lower their gazes.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Have you guys come to help me find anything about Scorpion demons?

MICHAELA

(astonished)

Scorpion demons?

PRUE

Guess you're not.

MICHAELA

We came to try to find out about the ---

Michaela cuts herself off. Alex and Prue look at her.

PRUE

About what? The green hovering face?

Michaela's glance gives her away.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I asked you to stop searching for it, Mic.

MICHAELA

I know, but I'm with Alex so no one will know I'm still on this.

Prue stands and approaches them.

ALEX

That's true. I've been with her all the time.

MICHAELA

And I'm also learning a lot from my father so, very soon I can get my powers back.

PRUE

That won't be happening that soon, you know. Unless we get back to our normal lives and then yes, you could have your powers back.

MICHAELA

I still believe I can help.

PRUE

Last time you almost burnt a house down.

MICHAELA

It was an accident. Besides, as I said, I'm learning with my father.

Prue stares at Michaela seriously.

PRUE

How is Don?

MICHAELA

He's doing fine. He's enjoying his work here.

PRUE

Good.

SOUND - MICHAELA'S PHONE. She receives a text message.

Michaela takes the mobile phone from the pants' pocket and checks the text and grimaces as she reads its content. Prue and Alex notice it.

PRUE (CONT'D)

What's going on?

Michaela puts the phone back on her pants pocket.

MICHAELA

I applied for a job at the campus cafeteria, but someone else got the job.

PRUE

I didn't know you were looking for a job.

ALEX

I told her she can stay as long as she needs to live here, but she insists that she and Don must move out to a place of their own and so she needs a job.

MICHAELA

I spent my whole life away from him. I want to have my own space with him.

Prue thinks of something.

PRUE

I think I can help with that.

MICHAELA

How so?

PRUE

Since my ---

Prue lowers her gaze and then she looks at them.

PRUE (CONT'D)

--- Daughter ---

(sighs)

Since Jo left, we haven't found anyone capable to help at P3. I'm this big and Bianca is working nonstop. The others have a life as well and with the hunt ---

ALEX

It gets complicated.

PRUE

Indeed. So, if you don't mind working on nights.

MICHAELA

You're offering me a job?

PRUE

(sarcastic)

Oh, I'm not being nice. I just want to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't turn the Michaela I killed in the future.

(confused)

Or will kill. Whatever.

Michaela smiles.

MICHAELA

When do I start?

Prue smiles.

OFF TO THE LIBRARIAN - He comes holding a book.

LIBRARIAN

Found something about Scorpion Demons.

They turn to him.

PRUE

Great.

Prue walks towards the Librarian. Michaela smiles at Alex.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - ALLEY - EVENING

SCORPIO is standing there. With him, are four other scorpion demons. Scorpio is giving them instruction.

SCORPIO

The job is simple. We must get in and attack.

SCORPION DEMON #1

Any idea what happened to our brothers?

SCORPIO

They were sent to the Atlantic Ocean. Now they are in the Academy.

(glances at them)

They don't know how to vanquish us. That's why they sent them to a faraway place. Your job is to attack them. Get them tired, then I'll show up and finish the job.

SCORPION DEMON #2

Are we really joining Armand's faction?

SCORPION DEMON #3

We never worked for anyone.

SCORPIO

We never had a real place. It's time for that to change. Armand has offered us the position of official Assassins.

SCORPION DEMON #1

Is that enough for us?

Scorpio laughs sarcastically.

SCORPIO

Of course, it isn't. After we vanquish the Destined Ones, we'll be closer to gaining the Underworlds' trust. Then we'll take Armand and others out of our way.

SCORPION DEMON #2

That's more I like.

SCORPIO

Then, let's vanquish the Destined Ones.

One by one, the Scorpion Demons start fading out. Scorpio stands there alone. He smiles wickedly.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTIC - EVENING

Phoebe and Paige are there.

PAIGE

Phoebe, ---

Phoebe seems worried. She walks back and forward.

PAIGE

--- You must calm down. According to Mel, you almost said more than you should to Ella.

PHOEBE

(stops and stares at Paige)

I know. It's just that ---

Phoebe sighs. Then she sits on the couch and buries her face between her hands.

PAIGE

We'll find Jo.

Phoebe looks at her sister. Her eyes are red as if tears are fighting to come out.

PHOEBE

I try to remind strong. For Prue and everyone else.

PAIGE

I know.

PHOEBE

My granddaughter is God knows where and we are not even close to finding her.

PAIGE

All these months I wondered when would you break.

PHOEBE

I can't break, Paige.

PAIGE

You're are a human being, Phoebe. I know you don't want Prue to see you breaking, but keeping the mask isn't helping her and not even the others. We all are in the same boat. But you can break, we all can. And after we break, we come back to the fight. So, Phoebe, it's okay that you break sometimes.

Phoebe and Paige hold hands.

PHOEBE

Thank you, sis.

Paige smiles.

PAIGE

Always.

OFF TO MELINDA - She comes in.

MELINDA

Thank you, Prue. We'll be fine.

Melinda hangs off the phone. She looks at her aunts. She notices that both her aunts look sentimental.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

What's going on?

Phoebe and Paige force a smile.

PHOEBE

It's okay to break sometimes, isn't it?

Melinda gives them a sympathetic smile.

MELINDA

Yeah, it is. I've done it thousands of times for the past five months. Damon calms me down all the time.

PAIGE

We'll be fine.

MELINDA

We'd better.

Melinda shows them the phone.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

That was Prue. I know how to vanquish those demons.

OFF TO ELLA - She comes in.

ELLA

Got all the crystals out.

They look at Ella.

ELLA (CONT'D)

Can you explain now why did I do that?

MELINDA

They are coming for us.

ELLA

Still don't understand.

Melinda smiles.

MELINDA

We're gonna make them have a taste of their own venom.

The three of them glance at Melinda.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - DEMONIC BAR - EVENING

The bar is calmer and there's not a lot of demons and other evil beings. Just a few.

Damon and Cassandra are sitting next to the bar. They're having some red drinks. They have a sip of it and then grimace.

CASSANDRA

What the hell is this?

DAMON

Don't really want to know.

They glance around.

DAMON (CONT'D)

This is calmer today.

SOUND - Phone's beeping.

Cassandra takes her phone from the back of her pants pocket. It's a text.

ON THE SCREEN - IT READS:

'I need you to come home ASAP. Mel'

Another text from Melinda appears right away.

ON THE SCREEN - IT READS:

'And speak nothing about this to Damon'.

Cassandra puts her phone back on her pants back pocket. Damon notices that something is up.

DAMON (CONT'D)

Something wrong?

Cassandra tries to disguise herself.

CASSANDRA

Oh, no, it's just my boss.

DAMON

Really?

CASSANDRA

I think I'll be working tonight.

DAMON

You don't do after-hours shifts.

CASSANDRA

Tonight, I will.

DAMON

I stay a little while.

Cassandra shakes her head.

CASSANDRA

You know the rules, Damon. No one hunts alone.

DAMON

But ---

CASSANDRA

(cuts him off)

No buts. Let's go.

They are about to leave when a group of demons comes in. They're talking.

DEMON #3

I wish I was a fly to see what's happening to the Destine Ones now.

Damon and Cassandra stop and look at them.

DEMON #3 (CONT'D)

The Scorpion Demons are something they didn't see coming.

The other demons laugh. Damon turns to Cassandra.

DAMON

Scorpion demons?

Cassandra grimaces.
 

DAMON (CONT'D)

Is that why you need to go?

CASSANDRA

Mel asked me not to tell you anything.

DAMON

Why?

CASSANDRA

Because she's tired of you worrying about her.

DAMON

I must worry. I love her.

CASSANDRA

Would you mind discussing that with her later? We must go now.

Damon sighs. Cassandra turns around and leaves. Damon leaves behind her.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT FOUR

ACT FIVE

FADE IN:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTIC - EVENING

Phoebe, Paige, Ella, Melinda, and Charlotte are there. Charlotte is wearing pajama and the four other women are looking at her.

PHOEBE

(to Charlotte)

Honey ---

CHARLOTTE

Melinda said ASAP.

MELINDA

I didn't know you were asleep.

CHARLOTTE

Well, now Eric is asleep.

(pauses)

Alone.

PAIGE

Well, in pajamas or not, Charlie is here now.

MELINDA

I hope Cass got my text.

OFF TO CASSANDRA - She BEAMS in followed by Damon who SHIMMERS him.

CASSANDRA

I'm here.

DAMON

And so am I.

Melinda looks at Damon.

MELINDA

(surprised)

Honey? What are you doing here?

DAMON

That's not the question, Mel. Why didn't you tell me about those demons?

MELINDA

I didn't want to worry you.

DAMON

So, you prefer lying to me.

MELINDA

Technically I didn't lie. I just didn't say that we had demons to fight.

Ella, who's standing next to a window, has a glance outside. Something calls for her attention.

ELLA

Do you guys mind discuss this later? Some weird men are watching the house.

Ella keeps staring through the window.

ELLA (CONT'D)

They just fade out.

OFF TO THE SCORPION DEMONS - The five of them FADE in.

They all look at them.

CASSANDRA

We didn't even discuss the plan of attack.

Then, the demons take a deep breath and suddenly some parts of their bodies appear; the hands are replaced by pedipalps (pincers), a long tail appears in each one of the. The tail ends with a stinger and also, four more pairs of walking legs in each one of them.

The others look at them.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

Oh, so that's what you meant by Scorpion demons.

MELINDA

None of them is the leader. It was supposed to be bigger.

The five demons look the same in their scorpion form.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

The leader. We need to kill the leader.

PAIGE

Be careful with the venom.

CHARLOTTE

Oh, venom.

The demons walk towards them as they step back. Paige WAVES her hands.

PAIGE

'Scorpion'

Paige ORBS one of them towards a wall. The demon gets straight immediately.

MELINDA

Their venom.

One of the demons approaches Melinda and grabs her. He throws her against some furniture.

CASSANDRA

We'll be careful, okay?

DAMON

Mel.

PHOEBE

Don't let them hit you with their string.

ELLA

Easy, right?

One by one, the demons approach them and thrown them against the furniture.

ELLA (CONT'D)

We should call the others.

MELINDA

We can do this. We only need the leader.

Paige, Phoebe, Melinda, Charlotte, Cassandra, and Damon step back and stare at them.

CHARLOTTE

Aren't they enough?

MELINDA

No. We need to vanquish the leader.

(to Charlotte and Cassandra)

Empathy is the solution. We need to give the leader a taste of its own venom.

DAMON

How do we keep those busy?

MELINDA

Freezing them?!

ELLA

They are almost immune, remember?

The demons walk towards them, slowly.

AT THAT MOMENT - Wyatt ORBS in between the demons and the witches and Damon.

MELINDA

(surprised)

Wyatt?

Wyatt WAVES his hand and using ENERGY WAVES on the demons. They are pushed back, but not destroyed.

PHOEBE

We were lacking firepower.

Wyatt looks at them over their shoulders.

WYATT

Prue asked me to come.

ELLA

(surprised)

Prue?

DAMON

Well, mate, you need to keep doing that until the leader comes.

The demons get up and start walking towards them.

WYATT

Who said it'll be easy?!

MELINDA

(to Phoebe)

Good idea keeping the BOS out of the attic.

Phoebe smiles. Again, Wyatt uses ENERGY WAVES on the demons, again and again, they are not destroyed.

DAMON

Tell me you're not charging it much.

WYATT

I'm not.

DAMON

Good to know.

MELINDA

(to Charlotte, Cassandra, and Phoebe)

You guys need to channel the anger to them. Make them use the venom to vanquish his own leader.

CHARLOTTE

And then what?

PHOEBE

They'll be vanquished as well.

The demons start approaching them again and Wyatt is about to use his powers on them again, but this time Scorpio FADES in.

MELINDA

There he is.

As well as the others did, Scorpio's body starts to change. He shapeshifts into a Scorpion to the fullest.

SCORPIO

Your powers are useless against us.

Scorpio's voice sounds normal, despite his shape. His tail moves back and forward.

SCORPIO (CONT'D)

Come, my demons, attack them. Make them feel our venom.

The demons stare at the witches and approach them.

MELINDA

Now would be a good time to channel the anger.

Phoebe, Charlotte, and Cassandra step forward and stare at the demons. They concentrate on them.

DAMON

Will this work?

Melinda looks at Damon as he looks her back.

MELINDA

It came from Prue's brain, so, my faith is high.

Phoebe, Charlotte, and Cassandra keep focusing on them as they approach. The demons raise up their tails and are about to hit them when suddenly they stop.

SCORPIO

Move forward, brothers, hit them with our venom.

PHOEBE

It's working.

The demons turn to Scorpio.

SCORPIO

What are you doing?

Scorpio takes back his human form.

SCORPIO (CONT'D)

What are you doing? Attack them.

The demons approach Scorpio and surround him. Scorpio glances at them.

SCORPIO (CONT'D)

Your fool. Witches' powers can't ---

Scorpio is hit by one sting. Scorpio screams in pain.

ELLA

That's more I like it.

Suddenly, each one of the scorpion demons hits Scorpio with their stings.

SCORPIO

No. It can't be.

Suddenly, Scorpio blows up, spitting venom all over the place.

Wyatt creates an ORB SHIELD protecting him and the others from the venom.

As soon as Scorpio is gone, the scorpion demons start blowing up as well and splitting their venom.

When they are all gone, Wyatt turns off his ORB SHIELD.

CASSANDRA

Oh, nice that we didn't get hit by their venom.

CAMERA MOVES AROUND THE ATTIC - It's a mess and covered by scorpion venom.

CHARLOTTE

And we weren't keeping that much of a social distancing.

PAIGE

Huh?

ELLA

How are we going to clean this?

They glance around.

MELINDA

A spell.

They all look at Melinda.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Oh, what? Demons attack at home and cleaning with a spell is personal gain?

PHOEBE

Mel is right. We'll use a spell. We've gone through a lot already.

ELLA

(to Wyatt)

Good thing Prue asked you to come.

Wyatt smiles.

PAIGE

Let's do the spell.

CHARLOTTE

Sorry, I can't. I'm going back to bed.

Charlotte BEAMS out.

CASSANDRA

To bed?

MELINDA

Eric is waiting for her.

CASSANDRA

Oh, I see.

They all exchange glances.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - NIGHT

AERIAL VIEW all over the town at the sound of 'Mother's Daughter' by Miley Cyrus.

Several places all over the town are shown.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - NIGHT

VIEW AT THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.

MUSIC PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND.

CUT TO:

INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - SECRET LIBRARY - DAY

MUSIC FADES OFF.

Prue is sitting on the couch and reading a book as she caresses her belly. She seems very focused on the book.

PRUE

(reading out loud)

'Changing reality is a strong power held by strong users. Those users can create, shape, and manipulate reality just by thinking about it. While weaker users are limited to what is already considered "real", stronger ones can make changes from nothing. Depending on the power of a reality warper, they may alter something as tangible as physics and the universe to something inconceivable like logic.'

(pauses)

'The way the power really works is when the user controls the very existential state of anything depending on their proficiency, regardless of whether or not the entity in question is an object or subject, among so many or most others depending on their power scale. It can range from transmogrifying objects or subjects into something different, altering the laws of reality, logic, and physics, creating things out of thin air, to even outright erasing it on the spot.'

Prue stops reading.

OFF TO THE LIBRARIAN - He comes in holding a few books.

LIBRARIAN

Have you heard from them?

Prue looks at the Librarian.

PRUE

(half-smiles)

It went well.

The Librarian puts the books on a table.

LIBRARIAN

Are you still mad that you didn't go there to help?

He sits next to her.

PRUE

I asked Wyatt to be there. I know he's going through a lot as well. But yeah, I miss the fight.

LIBRARIAN

The plan was yours.

PRUE

It was on the book the answer to how to vanquish Scorpion demons.

LIBRARIAN

The book didn't say that using an Empathic power would be helpful.

Prue smiles.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

Your powers are great indeed, but your brain, the ability you have to see things where others can't. Prue, that's much more important. If it weren't for you, how would we know about this whole mess?

Prue lowers her gaze. Then she looks at him. A tear runs down Prue's face.

PRUE

My daughter faded out before my eyes and the last thing she saw was carelessness from me.

The Librarian holds her hand.

PRUE (CONT'D)

She thought I had forgotten her.

LIBRARIAN

You'll find her.

Prue swallows. The Librarian wipes her cheeks.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

You are Prue Halliwell.

PRUE

It's just a name.

LIBRARIAN

No, it isn't. People fear you, Prue. Why would you think they tried to erase your memory and replace it with fake memories?

PRUE

Because I remembered what was real.

LIBRARIAN

Exactly. If it were no relevant, why care?!

(pauses)

It's not the name, but the meaning of it. It's not just Prue Halliwell, it's the Warren Line.

PRUE

(smiles)

Thank you.

The Librarian smiles at her.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I should go home now. It's late.

LIBRARIAN

Sure.

Prue closes the book.

PRUE

Can I take this book with me?

The Librarian stands and helps her stand.

LIBRARIAN

Have you found anything?

PRUE

Not exactly, but it has given me a lot to think about.

LIBRARIAN

Take it.

Prue smiles.

CUT TO:

INT. MELISSA'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Little light there. Junior ORBS in. He glances around.

JUNIOR

Issa?

No one answers.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

I'm sorry to orb in, but you said it was urgent.

OFF TO WOMAN'S FEET - The camera follows a pair of female feet wearing red high heels.

ON JUNIOR - His jaw drops as he watches someone coming in.

THE CAMERA MOVES FROM Junior to Melissa. She's wearing sexy red lingerie.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

What ---

MELISSA

Ending a sex strike can be considered an emergency.

JUNIOR

Indeed.

Junior is really wordless at what he sees.

MELISSA

What are you waiting for?

Junior smirks. He takes off his jacket and walks quickly towards her. He pulls her into his arms and both of them kiss passionately.

CUT TO:

INT. WHITMORE MANOR - MAIN BEDROOM - NIGHT

Sebastian is wearing the pants of a pajama. He is sitting at the edge of the bed with the controller in his hands. It seems like he's trying to pick a movie.

OFF TO TAMORA - She comes in with a box of pizza. She's also wearing pajamas. She closes the door behind her.

TAMORA

Have you found a nice movie?

SEBASTIAN

Netflix catalog is big, you know?

Tamora smiles and puts the pizza box on the bed.

TAMORA

Pick one, we know we won't get to the end of it.

Sebastian turns to her and she smiles roguishly.

SEBASTIAN

And I thought you were tired.

They smile at each other.

CUT TO:

INT. MATTHEWS / MITCHELL MANOR - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Pandora is watching some TV. She's sitting on the couch.

OFF TO PAIGE - She ORBS in behind her.

Pandora turns to look at her mother.

PANDORA

Finished already?

PAIGE

The attic looks new.

Pandora smiles.

PAIGE (CONT'D)

I thought you would be out tonight.

Paige sits next to her daughter.

PANDORA

Ethan is on the night shift.

PAIGE

I see.

Paige stares seriously at her daughter.

PANDORA

What is it, mom?

PAIGE

I'm so glad that this hasn't changed. Coming home and seeing you there.

PANDORA

That's not a thing to celebrate, mom. My sister spends more time in her fiancé's house than here. And Junior ---

(pauses)

Well, Junior was not the staying-at-home type of man.

PAIGE

Still. They are here.

PANDORA

Are you thinking of Jo and Matt?

Paige nods.

PANDORA (CONT'D)

I miss them too.

Both mother and daughter hug.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL / COOP MANOR - DINING ROOM - DAY

Charlotte, Cassandra, Phoebe, and Eric are having a late dinner.

PHOEBE

The attic looks new.

CHARLOTTE

You mean that you updated the décor.

PHOEBE

Not that new.

They laugh.

ERIC

(to Charlotte)

I didn't even notice you left the bed.

CHARLOTTE

(smiles)

You were sound asleep.

CASSANDRA

Why would dad say if he finds out Charlie's bringing her boyfriend to spend the night?!

CHARLOTTE

It was actually the day and you won't say a word.

CASSANDRA

My mouth is shut.

SOUND - A PHONE BEEPING.

Cassandra checks it and smiles. The others notice.

PHOEBE

Is that your boss?

Cassandra looks at Phoebe.

PHOEBE

I don't think he would be on a meeting at this hour.

CASSANDRA

(disguises)

It's just a friend.

Cassandra answers the text. Phoebe, Charlotte, and Eric exchange glances.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - DARK CORRIDORS - NIGHT

Melinda, Chris, and Damon come walking.

MELINDA

(to Damon)

Honey, you shouldn't have come. It wasn't your turn.

DAMON

I didn't complete my mission this afternoon, so ---

CHRIS

You just want to protect her, but she's protected with me, remember?

DAMON

Don't take it personally.

Chris shrugs.

MELINDA

(to Chris)

How's Bianca? She seemed off when I called her earlier.

CHRIS

She is. I believe is because of this situation.

Melinda pats Chris' shoulder.

MELINDA

I can't imagine what she's feeling.

CHRIS

Yeah.

Chris smiles at her.

CUT TO:

INT. P3 - DANCING FLOOR - NIGHT

The club is crowded. Music plays loudly.

At the bar, Bianca is busy preparing drinks. Michaela and Alex approach the bar and put the trays they're holding on the counter.

MICHAELA

I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Bianca smiles at them.

BIANCA

You're actually a blessing.

Bianca puts drinks on the table.

ALEX

I might ask Prue for a part-time job here.

BIANCA

Do whitelighters work?

ALEX

Yeah, I think I don't have the spirit to be on the Whitelighters' job 100% of the time. Normal life excites me.

BIANCA

We have everything, but a normal life.

ALEX

You know what I mean.

Bianca puts more drinks on the trays as she smiles.

CUT TO:

INT. JARED'S APARTMENT - ROOM - NIGHT

Jared is standing next to the Water Pit. He WAVES his hand over it and smiles.

JARED

Yes, it all looks fine. At least this is working out. Now I just need a Warren heir. But that's up to you, little sis.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - DARK CORRIDOR - NIGHT

Armand comes walking fast. He feels something. Someone is following him. He stops and turns around.

BEAT. Jessica stands in front of him with her big fake pregnant belly.

JESSICA

Remember me?

Armand smiles.

ARMAND

How could I forget? But last time I checked you were thinner and on the enemy's side.

JESSICA

Don't believe everything your eyes see.

They stare at each other seriously.

CUT TO:

INT. PRUE'S CONDO - BEDROOM - NIGHT

Prue is leaning to the headboard of the bed. She's reading the book she brought from Magic School's Secret Library.

Wyatt ORBS in. He looks at her and smiles.

WYATT

Am I late?

Prue looks at him.

PRUE

Never.

Wyatt smiles and goes to lay down next to her.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Was it easy?

WYATT

I told her I would be working late.

PRUE

In a normal world, you wouldn't have to give her any explanations, you know?

WYATT

We are not in a normal world.

They stare at each other.

PRUE

I know we've spoken about it, but I insist. You know that baby isn't yours, right?

WYATT

Prue, we don't know how things work.

PRUE

She's pregnant the same time I am, Wyatt. We both know that when I got pregnant, we were living our real lives.

WYATT

Yeah, but what if she is? Maybe in this reality, she is.

PRUE

She's not expecting your baby, Wy. All this reality warping ---

(pauses)

I've been reading and I'm not sure, but this might not be the same as when Cole changed reality and aunt Paige was transported there.

WYATT

So?

PRUE

So ---

(takes a deep breath)

We all know. In aunt Paige's situation, she was the only one who knew the truth, when she came back, time had passed and no one else knew what happened. They didn't live it.

WYATT

And we all got our memories back.

Prue nods.

PRUE

The world is right, but our lives are no. Everything related to us happened differently.

WYATT

Well, not everything, I mean ---

PRUE

Ruby.

Wyatt looks at Prue.

PRUE (CONT'D)

She's locked in the tower. If we were transported to an alternate world, she wouldn't be. She would probably be out there, powerless because Darkness never got released. She confirmed to Blanche that she was out and defeated by us.

WYATT

Indeed.

They look seriously at each other.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Maybe you're right.

Prue smiles.

PRUE

I might be pregnant and you all might be protecting me, but I've still got my brains.

Wyatt smiles and kisses her.

WYATT

Well, intellectual Prue Halliwell, what if we speak about it tomorrow? Tonight, I just want to sleep with my wife.

PRUE

I'm pregnant, you know?

WYATT

And you are sexier than ever.

Both of them kiss passionately.

The camera moves away as the image fades out.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - CAVE - NIGHT - 2062 (FLASHFORWARD)

Three girls can be seen from their backs, one blonde and two brunettes. They are fighting a demon. They hold out their hands.

ON THE SCREEN, IT READS:

2062

The camera moves to the front and focuses on their faces; BEAT. They are Jo (middle), Peri (right), and Patience (left). They chant. The Charmed Ones of their time.

CHARMED ONES

'The Power of Three will set us free. The Power of Three will set us free.'

The demon blows up and as he does, suddenly one of the girls disappears; Jo. Peri and Patience look at each other.

PERI

Where's Jo?

Patience shrugs. Then they are hit with a strong headache that lasts for a few seconds, then it stops. Peri and Patience look at each other again.

PATIENCE

What was that?

Both seem astonished.

PERI

You saw what I saw?

PATIENCE

A bunch of new memories popped into my mind.

PERI

Into mine too.

PATIENCE

What the hell is going on, Per?

PERI

I don't know. I'm confused. Truly confused.

(serious)

But we'll find out.

Both sisters stare seriously at each other.

The camera moves away from them and then it ---

CUT TO BLACK.
