SEASON 6, EPISODE 1

TEASER

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. UNDERWORLD - DUNGEON - NIGHT (FLASHBACK)

ON THE SCREEN - It reads:

2002

The Seer is there and also Paige is inside the magical cage.

Phoebe FLAMES in.

SEER

Come to me, child.

PAIGE

Phoebe, snap out of it, please.

SEER

‘Let the little children come to me, for the kingdom belongs to such as these’, ---

The Seer takes Phoebe to a circle of candles.

SEER (CONT’D)

--- ‘the rose circle represents nature, desire, fertility’

(pauses)

Kneel.

Phoebe kneels down.

PAIGE

Phoebe, it’s your body, take control, fight it.

SEER

‘Give me strength, and give me might, to steal in still of night’.

PAIGE

Phoebe!

SEER

‘Darkest forces let it be, hear my plea, bring life to me’.

A light comes out of Phoebe’s womb and goes into the Seer’s womb. Phoebe returns to normal.

PHOEBE

My Baby.

SEER

He was never yours, or Cole’s. From the moment of conception, this baby was mine.

The Seer unbuttons part of her dress to reveal the baby moving around inside of her.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - CORONATION CAVE - NIGHT (LATER)

The Dark Priest and the council leaders are there. The Seer and the cage where Phoebe and Paige are in are also there.

The Seer doubles over in pain.

DARK PRIEST

What is it?

SEER

Just start the ceremony.

DARK PRIEST

May the world’s evil flow your soul tonight and grant you eternal darkness.

PAIGE

Doesn’t look like she’s having any more luck with that thing inside of her than you are. Ah, so sorry, that was insensitive.

PHOEBE

It’s okay, the baby wasn’t mine.

PAIGE

What do you mean?

PHOEBE

The baby was never mine. From the moment it took over, it just felt like this black hole of evil. Totally soulless.

PAIGE

Phoebe.

PHOEBE

Yeah.

PAIGE

Told you so.

They laugh.

PAIGE (CONT’D)

I’m really sorry.

PHOEBE

I know you are, honey, I know you are.

DARK PRIEST

Seer, are you prepared to accept the power and position of the Source before all these leaders of the Underworld?

SEER

I am.

PHOEBE

Okay, so now what?

PAIGE

We might have a fighting chance if we had the power of three but we can’t get to Piper. Ugh, this cage is magic-proof.

PHOEBE

Okay, so the cage is built to make sure magic wouldn’t get out, but in the premonition I had, I saw the Seer kill you with a power.

PAIGE

So, the cage lets magic in. Do you remember the spell to call a lost witch?

PHOEBE

Piper and I just used it to try to find you. Uh, ---

(chants)

'Power of the witches rise,

Course unseen across the skies,

Come to us who call you near,

Come to us and settle here.

Piper appears in the cage.'

PIPER

Oh!

PHOEBE

Oh, thank God it worked.

PIPER

Oh, my. Where are we?

PAIGE

Uh, trapped in a cage.

PIPER

Mm-hm, okay, so let's bust out.

PAIGE

No, you can’t use your magic in here. It’ll just bounce off and probably kill us.

DARK PRIEST

Repeat, the oath after me.

Piper looks at what happens outside the cage.

PIPER

Ah, what’s going on out there?

PHOEBE

The Seer’s being coronated as the new Source.

PIPER

Huh.

PAIGE

Yeah, then she’s gonna sacrifice us.

PIPER

(shoots them a look)

Let's get this straight, you guys summoned me to a cage where my powers don’t work, so we can all die together?

PAIGE

Well, the plan has some flaws admittedly.

PHOEBE

We just have to stay positive. We have the power of three here, there is nothing stronger than that, right?

The Seer starts glowing and floats up into the air.

PIPER

Are you sure there’s nothing stronger than the power of three?

The Seer floats back down the ground. She turns to the cage and gets a shock when she notices Piper is also there.

SEER

What an unexpected surprise. You just made my ---

FLAMES shoot out of The Seer’s head and she groans.

PHOEBE

It’s the baby. He has too much power for her. That’s how I felt, it felt like I was gonna explode.

The council leaders start talking about what’s happening to the Seer.

PAIGE

What are we gonna do?

PHOEBE

We need to make her tap into the baby’s power, all of it.

PAIGE

How the hell are we gonna do that?

The FLAMES disappear.

SEER

I command all in attendance to witness the power of the Source.

PIPER

Power of Three spell?

SEER

And the death of the Charmed Ones!

PHOEBE

Uh, okay.

Piper, Phoebe, and Paige get ready to chant.

CHARMED ONES

The power of three will set us free,

the power of three will set us free.

The blue beam of light hits the cage but the spell protects them.

CHARMED ONES (CONT’D)

The power of three will set us free, the power of three will set us free.

DARK PRIEST

What’s wrong?

SEER

Nothing’s wrong.

The Charmed Ones continue chanting and the blue light rebounds and hits the Seer.

PIPER

It’s working. Keep going.

It then rebounds from the womb onto every demon in the room and they are all vanquished, the Seer included. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige glance around.

CUT TO:

INT. PENTHOUSE - BEDROOM - NIGHT (SHORTLY AFTER)

The bedroom is dark. The bed is at the center. A view of the city can be seen through the windows.

Someone is lying on the bed. Suddenly, the person gets into a sitting position. A shock on her face.

BEAT. This person is Melinoe. She looks shocked and confused all at the same. Then Melinoe takes her hands to her belly and as soon as she touches her belly she withdraws the hand immediately.

MELINOE

No.

Yes. Something weird has happened to her.

CUT TO:

EXT. WHITE MANOR - PORCH - DAY (PRESENT)

ON THE SCREEN - It reads:

2037

A man, COLTON (34), opens the door and stares at Melinoe who stands there staring seriously at him. He smiles big as he looks at Melinoe.

COLTON

Mother! What a surprise! I wasn’t expecting you. What brings you here?

MELINOE

(smiles)

It is time for you, Colton, to know the truth about you.

Colton’s smile fades from his face. He stares seriously at Melinoe.

CUT TO BLACK.

OFF TO THE ENTRANCE - Wyatt comes in holding a pair of baby bottles with milk and stops as he sees Tina staring at her sisters. Wyatt sighs and then he smiles.

Wyatt walks over to Tina and lowers down beside her.

MUSIC FADES OFF.

WYATT

(to Tina)

Did you orb out of bed again? Tina, don’t teach those things to your baby sisters.

Tina looks at her daddy and smiles.

WYATT (CONT’D)

Show-off.

Tina smiles. Wyatt stands and walks over to the cribs.

WYATT (CONT’D)

Morning, girls.

Wyatt puts the baby bottles on the table between the cribs.

WYATT (CONT’D)

Which one of you is hungrier?

TINA

Tina.

Wyatt looks at Tina.

WYATT

Mummy is coming with yours.

PRUE

Mummy is here.

Wyatt and Tina look at Prue.

WYATT

Tina is showing off to her sisters again.

Prue looks at Tina.

PRUE

Bad girl.

Tina makes a sad face. Prue walks over to a chair and sits there. She smiles at Tina.

PRUE (CONT’D)

Mummy is proud.

Tina smiles. Wyatt shoots Prue a look.

PRUE (CONT’D)

(shrugs)

What? It’s true.

Wyatt takes Peri from the crib.

WYATT

She needs to learn that she cannot show those things to her baby sisters.

PRUE

You really wanna talk about that, Mr. Almighty Twice Blessed Wyatt?

Wyatt shoots her a look.

WYATT

At least I’m not show-off almighty Prue.

Both of them smile at each other. Wyatt starts feeding Peri while Prue takes Tina in her lap and starts feeding her too.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - DINING ROOM / FOYER / STAIRCASE / ENTRANCE - DAY (LATER)

Melinda and Damon are finishing breakfast. Damon stares at Melinda as she pretends not to notice it.

OFF TO FOYER - Chris ORBS in carrying Matt and Phoenix. He puts Matt on the floor.

CHRIS

Morning!

Melinda and Damon look at them. Melinda stands immediately.

MELINDA

Morning!

She rushes to Matt and hugs him tightly.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

Happy birthday, my darling boy.

Damon stands and also walks over to them.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

You are such a big boy now.

Matt smiles at his aunt.

DAMON

Happy birthday, Matt.

CHRIS

I can’t believe he’s turning two already.

MELINDA

We need a big party. Last year we didn’t get to celebrate his and Jo’s birthday.

DAMON

She goes by Tina now, Mel.

MELINDA

I know.

Melinda stands and takes Phoenix in her arms. Chris looks at his children with a sad glance.

CHRIS

She would love to be here.

Melinda and Damon look at each other.

MELINDA

(to Chris)

I’m sure she’s looking after them from where she is.

Chris forces a smile.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

Anyway, Prue is planning to have the Matriarchs here for the party. You know, to bless all five of them.

CHRIS

Right. When did she decide it?

MELINDA

When you didn’t.

Chris shoots her sister a look.

OFF TO PRUE AND WYATT - They come downstairs.

PRUE

I told you about it, Chris.

Chris, Melinda, and Damon look at Prue and Wyatt.

CHRIS

I told you I wasn’t sure about it.

PRUE

Why?

Prue puts her hands on her hips and stares seriously at Chris.

PRUE (CONT’D)

The children need their blessing.

CHRIS

You decide when it comes to yours and I when it comes to mine.

PRUE

I’m their godmother. Besides, I take care of them most of the time. If mines get to be blessed, yours too.

CHRIS

It’s a lot of Matriarchs in the same place at the same time.

Both Chris and Prue stare seriously at each other.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

Drop it.

Wyatt, Melinda, and Damon stare at Prue and Chris.

WYATT

Guys, c’mon. Chris, it doesn’t make sense Matt and Phoenix don’t get the blessing.

MELINDA

True. We’ve been postponing it for so long.

DAMON

That’s not the one thing we’ve been postponing.

Melinda shoots Damon a look.

CHRIS

I need to get to work.

WYATT

I’m gonna take the kids to Magic School’s nursery.

PRUE

I need to head to P3 to prepare the Halloween party for tomorrow night.

CHRIS

See? There won’t be time for blessings or whatever.

PRUE

The decision is made, Chris. So, ---

WYATT

(steps between them both)

So, please. Stop both of you.

Wyatt glances at Prue and Chris.

WYATT (CONT’D)

(to Chris)

Work.

Chris sighs. He then lowers down and kisses Matt.

CHRIS

Behave, son.

He stands and kisses Phoenix on the forehead.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

Bye, sweetie.

Chris turns to the others and smiles goodbye. Then he looks at Prue and both share a look. Then Chris ORBS out.

MELINDA

(to Prue)

You can’t be too hard on him.

PRUE

Hard on him? I am the one who takes most of the decisions concerned to his children.

MELINDA

Well, at least he is now more caring about them.

DAMON

After the intervention.

PRUE

Still. I am the one looking after them most of the time.

WYATT

Yeah, that’s why today you need to care about P3 and the kids’ birthday party.

MELINDA

I’ll have some time today so, I can help.

PRUE

Good.

(to Wyatt)

You take them to Magic School?

WYATT

Leave it to me.

MELINDA

Actually ---

They look at Melinda.

MELINDA (CONT’D)

Damon and I can take them.

DAMON

I thought you needed to be early at Halliwells.

MELINDA

I do, but we moved here to help so, ---

DAMON

Got it.

Damon approaches Matt and holds him. Then he and Melinda take the kids upstairs.

MELINDA

I’ll meet you later, Prue.

Prue nods. Prue turns to Wyatt.

WYATT

Got five minutes for us?

PRUE

P3 can wait five minutes.

WYATT

Good.

Wyatt wraps his arms around Prue and pulls her for a kiss. Both kiss passionately, but ---

SOUND - Doorbell.

Prue and Wyatt interrupt the kiss and look at each other.

WYATT

Waiting for someone?

Prue shakes her head. Then she goes to open the door.

BEAT. Colton is there. He smirks as he sees Prue. Wyatt approaches.

ON PRUE - She recognizes him.

PRUE

(astonished)

You?

COLTON

Hello, ---

(pauses)

--- sister!

Prue and Wyatt look at each other.

ON COLTON’S FACE - He carries a big smirk on his face. The smirk of someone that wanted to cause an impression and did.

CUT TO:

INT. WHITE MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY (FLASHBACK)

ON THE SCREEN - It reads:

FIVE MONTHS EARLIER

Colton is sitting on the couch staring seriously at Melinoe who sits in front of him staring at him.

COLTON

You’re telling me that I am not just a witch.

MELINOE

No. I bound your demonic powers when you were born after the vision I had.

COLTON

But you don’t have visions, mother.

MELINOE

I had while I carried you in my womb. Somehow, I knew how powerful you were going to be and the danger it represented. And I saw all that was involved in your conception.

Colton stands and paces the room.

COLTON

I am one of them.

MELINOE

You are more than just one of them. The day you were born has a strong meaning.

Colton looks at Melinoe.

COLTON

Mother, why now? Why wait thirty-four years to tell me the truth about my birth.

MELINOE

(stands)

Because you are my son. I didn’t conceive you, but I gave birth to you.

COLTON

A Halliwell.

MELINOE

Thinking of changing your name already?

COLTON

Why now? Why at this very moment?

MELINOE

Because they destroyed my plans.

COLTON

So, this is payback?

MELINOE

They didn’t care for you, Colton. They didn’t care when the Seer ripped you out of your mother’s womb and they didn’t care when it seemed like she wasn’t strong enough to hold you inside.

COLTON

But you were.

MELINOE

I am a Goddess and you chose me. It’s your decision what happens now.

Colton stares seriously at Melinoe.

COLTON

Can I have my powers back? My demonic powers?

Melinoe smirks.

MELINOE

With time you will. But first, we need to spread the word that the heir is alive.

Melinoe and Colton stare seriously at each other.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ENTRANCE / FOYER - DAY (PRESENT)

Prue and Wyatt stare seriously at Colton who carries a big smirk on his face.

PRUE

Excuse me?

WYATT

Who are you?

Colton looks at Wyatt for the first time.

COLTON

(to Prue)

Your big brother.

Prue lets out a sarcastic smile.

PRUE

I’m sorry, you knocked on the wrong door. I’m the eldest and I don’t have brothers. If you excuse me, ---

Prue starts shutting the door, but Colton stops her.

COLTON

I advise you not to do that.

Prue and Wyatt stare at Colton.

COLTON (CONT’D)

You should get our mother and sisters here for a chat.

Colton walks in without invitation. Prue and Wyatt look at each other. A huge confused look covers their faces.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY

STILL FOOTAGE at the Golden Gate Bridge.

CUT TO:

INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - NURSERY - DAY

There are a dozen children there. There’s a witch taking care of them.

OFF TO THE DOOR - Charlotte comes in followed by Melinda and Damon. Tina and Matt come holding hands with each other, Charlotte carries Phoenix while Melinda carries one of the twins and Damon the other.

CHARLOTTE

I thought Wyatt was the one to bring them here.

MELINDA

We wanted to give him five minutes alone with Prue.

Charlotte walks towards one of the cribs and puts Phoenix there, Melinda and Damon do the same with the twins. Tina and Matt join the other children.

CHARLOTTE

The twins keep waking them up.

MELINDA

Those two don’t give them a rest.

DAMON

Well, at least Chris is taking Matt and Nix with him at night.

MELINDA

Not every night. He did last night, but two nights ago, he left them with us. Nix is learning from the twins. She only calms down when Prue grabs her.

Charlotte smiles.

DAMON

At least the twins are sleeping more hours in a row.

The three of them turn at Tina and Matt as they play with other children.

CHARLOTTE

Is Tina showing off at home?

MELINDA

All the time.

CHARLOTTE

That girl is gonna be trouble.

DAMON

Well, we met her. She didn’t look like trouble.

MELINDA

Her adult self didn’t. Now her baby self ---

The three of them laugh.

CHARLOTTE

Well, I need to get to the classroom. Without Alex here, I don’t have an assistant to help me.

DAMON

Has he said something?

CHARLOTTE

Only that he and Michaela are enjoying their time in Egypt.

MELINDA

They should. It’s good for them. And Michaela seems calmer.

Charlotte nods.

SOUND - Charlotte’s phone. She checks the phone.

CHARLOTTE

It’s Prue. She needs to talk to me.

(looks at them)

Now I need to find someone to replace me. I really need to go. See ya.

Charlotte walks off. Melinda and Damon stare at the kids. Then Damon glances at Melinda.

DAMON

We could have that, you know?

MELINDA

(glances at him)

Give me some more time, D.

And Melinda walks off. Damon sighs then he follows her.

CUT TO:

INT. BAY MIRROR - PHOEBE’S OFFICE - DAY

Phoebe is having an important conversation on the phone.

PHOEBE

--- clearly, it doesn’t matter anymore. But I need you to have a look at it again. I can’t just change the ending just like that ---

Wyatt ORBS in. Phoebe and Wyatt make eye contact.

PHOEBE (CONT’D)

It wouldn’t make sense for my characters to have a different ending.

Phoebe realizes Wyatt's expression is one of seriousness.

PHOEBE (CONT’D)

No, I don’t want a sequel. There’s not a sequel in my plans. I don’t do sequels. Look, just give it another look and we talk about that later. Bye.

Phoebe looks at Wyatt.

PHOEBE (CONT’D)

Those editors are driving me crazy.

(sighs; to Wyatt)

What is it?

WYATT

You need to come with me.

PHOEBE

Is there something wrong?

Wyatt's expression tells her that there is. They stare seriously at each other.

CUT TO:

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT GROUP - CEO’S OFFICE - DAY

Johnathan and Cassandra walk in. Cassandra seems stressed.

CASSANDRA

We shouldn’t have overslept.

JOHNATHAN

It happens, Cass.

Cassandra turns to him.

CASSANDRA

You are the boss. Need to set an example.

JOHNATHAN

And I’m setting an example here. Being late happens. Especially when you spend the night with the woman you love.

Cassandra shoots him a look.

CASSANDRA

You say that word a lot.

JOHNATHAN

And you don’t.

Cassandra sighs.

CASSANDRA

I love you.

Johnathan smiles.

JOHNATHAN

(walking over to her)

So much better, don’t you agree?

He wraps his arms around her waist.

CASSANDRA

We need to work, Mr. Hale.

JOHNATHAN

We are working.

He then kisses her.

SOUND - CASSANDRA’S PHONE.

They break the kiss. Cassandra checks her phone.

CASSANDRA

It’s Prue. Emergency.

(looks at him)

I need to go.

JOHNATHAN

I’ll postpone the meeting with HR.

Cassandra smiles. Then she walks out of the office as he walks over to his desk.

EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR - DAY

STILL.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY

ON COLTON - He is holding a frame and is staring at the photo.

Prue stands nearby staring seriously at him. She seems like she’s trying to read him. Colton looks at her.

COLTON

The original trio.

(shows her the photo)

Which one is our mother?

PRUE

There’s no OUR mother.

Focus on the our. Colton puts the frame in its place. He looks at Prue.

COLTON

Let’s not make this more complicated than it already is, Prue.

PRUE

How do you know my name?

COLTON

Is there anyone in the magic community that doesn’t?

Prue shoots him a look.

COLTON (CONT’D)

(smirks)

Yes. I am a witch, you see.

(pauses)

From our mother's side.

SOUND - The front door.

Moments later, Charlotte and Cassandra walk into the living room. They look at Prue.

CHARLOTTE

What is it, Prue? And why couldn’t we be ---

Charlotte cuts herself off as she sees Colton there. Cassandra also looks at Colton.

COLTON

Were you going to say beaming?

CHARLOTTE

(to Prue)

Who’s him?

PRUE

Someone with a death wish.

Colton laughs sarcastically.

CASSANDRA

Prue, what’s going on?

COLTON

Let’s wait for mom to arrive. Sorry, I don’t want to repeat the story more than once.

CASSANDRA

Mom?

SOUND - The front door opening.

Soon, Phoebe comes in. Wyatt comes in right after. Phoebe and Colton look at each other.

COLTON

(smiles)

Mom?

Phoebe lets out a long sigh. Charlotte and Cassandra look from Colton to Phoebe confused.

PHOEBE

Who are you?

COLTON

The son you lost to the Seer.

ON PHOEBE - Her look is one of astonishment.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT ONE

[Prue Brianna Johnna Halliwell]

ACT TWO

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. WHITE MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY (FLASHBACK)

ON THE SCREEN - It reads:

FOUR MONTHS EARLIER

Melinoe is there. There are also six leaders of the Underworld there. Colton is also there in a corner.

MELINOE

My friends, all of you know why we are here.

LEADER #1

You claimed to introduce us to the heir of the throne.

LEADER #2

Yes. What throne? What heir?

Melinoe glances at Colton who stands in the back.

MELINOE

The heir of the Source.

LEADER #1

Which one?

All of the leaders laugh.

LEADER #1 (CONT’D)

We had so many Sources.

MELINOE

Cole.

The leaders stop laughing immediately at the mention of Cole’s name.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

Cole Turner’s son.

The leaders glance at each other.

LEADER #2

As far as we know, Cole Turner died leaving no heirs.

LEADER #3

And he wasn’t the Source anymore at the moment the Charmed Ones vanquished him.

MELINOE

True. But one of the Charmed Ones got pregnant while he was the Source.

The leaders glance at each other.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

You might remember that, don’t you?

LEADER #1

I wasn’t there. Was one of the luckiest to escape. No one knows exactly what happened.

MELINOE

The Seer, the right hand of the late Source, and Cole’s after the first one was gone, stole the baby from Phoebe Halliwell’s womb.

Again, the leaders glance at each other.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

But the power of the baby was too much for her to handle.

LEADER #2

And even for the witch.

Melinoe smirks.

MELINOE

No. The witch would find a way eventually, but ---

(glances at Colton)

--- she didn’t care for that baby.

(looks at the leaders)

After the Seer’s destruction, the baby found a new womb to grow until the time to come to this world arrived.

LEADER #1

A new womb?

MELINOE

Powerful enough to carry him.

(pauses)

Me.

LEADER #2

The exiled daughter of Hades.

Melinoe nods.

MELINOE

What better than a Goddess?

LEADER #2

You always kept a low profile. Why are you standing here before us now?

MELINOE

I have my reasons, gentlemen. But the most important is that you don’t need to seek a leader. He is here.

Melinoe looks at Colton and signs him to step forward.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

Colton Turner.

(smiles)

Yes, I gave him his father’s last name.

They all look at Colton as he approaches Melinoe.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

This, gentleman, is Cole Turner’s heir and rightful successor to the Underworld’s throne.

Colton stares at them all. Melinoe smiles looking at Colton as he stands in front of the other leaders.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY

ON PRUE, CHARLOTTE, AND CASSANDRA’S FACE - They seem shocked.

CHARLOTTE

Wait, you got pregnant before Prue?

Phoebe, Wyatt, and Colton are still there.

CASSANDRA

How come we never knew about this, mom?

They all stare at Phoebe with an inquisitive look. Charlotte and Cassandra look at Prue.

CHARLOTTE

Did you know about this?

Prue shakes her head.

PRUE

No.

(looks at Phoebe)

Why didn’t you tell us?

PHOEBE

I ---

Wyatt helps a shaken Phoebe to sit.

PHOEBE (CONT’D)

I thought it wasn’t important.

Colton lets out a sarcastic smile.

COLTON

(furious)

I wasn’t important.

PHOEBE

I didn’t know.

COLTON

You didn’t know? How convenient.

PRUE

Stop it.

Prue and Colton look at each other. Both of them carry a furious look.

PHOEBE

If I ever suspected my son had found another womb, I ---

COLTON

You didn’t even try.

Phoebe looks at Colton.

COLTON (CONT’D)

You could have made sure that I was gone.

PHOEBE

I and my sisters saw as the Seer got vanquished. The baby was inside of her. It was too powerful for her. For me too.

COLTON

You’re wrong.

WYATT

What do you mean?

Colton looks at Wyatt and smirks.

COLTON

She’s a Charmed One.

PHOEBE

I had no control of it.

COLTON

(looks at Phoebe)

You never even cared to try. You were strong enough to carry her.

(looks at Prue; then at Phoebe again)

You didn’t even try.

Colton looks at Phoebe again.

CASSANDRA

This can’t be happening.

PRUE

Cassandra is right. How do we know that what you’re saying is true?

COLTON

There’s a way to prove it.

Colton smirks.

COLTON (CONT’D)

A DNA test.

CHARLOTTE

You were born from another.

COLTON

But I carry her ---

(looks at Phoebe)

--- genes.

Phoebe stands.

PHOEBE

You are a demon.

Colton stares at Prue and smirks.

PHOEBE (CONT’D)

Cole was half-demon.

COLTON

You are correct, ---

(sarcastic tone)

--- mom.

(glances at them)

My demonic powers were bound, but in no time I’ll have them back.

PHOEBE

Who? Who was strong enough to carry you in her womb?

COLTON

Someone who cared about me.

(pauses)

I booked us an appointment at Prescott Laboratory.

(to Cassandra)

You can make sure the results aren’t altered.

(pauses)

4 pm. See you there.

Colton turns around and walks out of the room. They all are shaken.

CHARLOTTE

How the hell is this even possible?

Prue approaches Phoebe and grabs Phoebe’s hand.

PRUE

Is there any chance that he is saying the truth, mom?

Phoebe shakes her head.

PHOEBE

I don’t know, honey.

WYATT

(to Prue)

Didn’t you feel something from him?

PRUE

I felt a lot of things and none of them were good.

CHARLOTTE

What do we do?

Prue and Wyatt look at each other.

WYATT

DNA test.

PHOEBE

I can’t.

WYATT

It’s the best option now. Then we figure out our next move.

PHOEBE

I need to tell Coop.

PRUE

(to Wyatt)

Take her to dad. I’ll do it.

CASSANDRA

The test?

Prue nods.

PRUE

(to Cassandra)

And you need to make sure the results don’t get altered.

Cassandra nods.

PHOEBE

Girls?

They all look at Phoebe.

PHOEBE (CONT’D)

I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you.

CHARLOTTE

You should have, mom. We might have a brother.

PRUE

He’s lying.

CHARLOTTE

(mad)

What if he’s not?

PRUE

Do you really believe he, as a fetus, flew from one womb to another just like that?

CHARLOTTE

Not just like that. Magic. Aunt Paige orbed Junior from the womb.

WYATT

That’s different. She didn’t orb him to her womb.

PHOEBE

Though it was what she planned. It didn’t work because Junior was ready to be born. I was only a few weeks pregnant.

PRUE

Listen. Let’s wait for the results. I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation for this.

(to Phoebe)

Mom, go to dad. I’ll find the truth.

Prue and Phoebe stare seriously at each other. Phoebe nods. Prue and Wyatt look at each other. Then Wyatt nods. Wyatt approaches Phoebe and grabs her hand. He then ORBS out taking her. Prue turns to Charlotte and Cassandra.

CHARLOTTE

She lied to us.

CASSANDRA

Charlie, please.

CHARLOTTE

She did. She didn’t trust us enough to tell us everything that happened between her and Cole.

PRUE

You heard her. It wasn’t important.

CHARLOTTE

It was her son. Why aren’t you mad?

PRUE

It was mom’s life. It wasn’t important then, it isn’t now. He is not our brother.

CHARLOTTE

Try to believe that. Just make sure you’re prepared to quit your firstborn place.

And just like that Charlotte BEAMS out.

CASSANDRA

This is new for me. Charlotte mad and Prue calm.

PRUE

Believe me, I’m not that calm.

CASSANDRA

I guess is motherhood, huh?!

Prue and Cassandra stare seriously at each other.

CASSANDRA (CONT’D)

I need to settle things before the test.

PRUE

Good. He’s lying. I know he is.

ON PRUE’S FACE - She wants to believe herself, but deep down she is afraid.

Melinoe is there. Colton walks in. He seems furious. Melinoe turns to Colton.

MELINOE

So?

COLTON

(determined)

I’m ready to receive all my powers. What do I need to do?

Melinoe smirks. She goes to the drinks cart and pours a purple liquid into a glass emptying the bottle. Then she walks over to Colton and hands him the glass.

MELINOE

It is the last one. After this, you’ll get your powers back to the fullest.

COLTON

(taking the glass)

My demonic powers.

MELINOE

The only ones I took from you.

Colton looks at the glass in his hands.

COLTON

And what’s next?

MELINOE

Next ---

(smirks)

--- you just cross the line.

ON COLTON - He is serious.

Colton drinks the liquid all at once and then drops the glass on the floor as BEAMS of BLUE ENERGY surround him forcing him to kneel down on the floor holding his head in pain.

Melinoe stares at him from a safe distance. Colton screams out loud.

CUT TO:

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

Wyatt comes in followed by Chris.

WYATT

I just left aunt Phoebe with mom and uncle Coop. You are not gonna believe what’s happening.

Chris shuts the door behind him, and that’s when Wyatt feels a strong pain in his head forcing him to kneel down on the floor. Chris looks at Wyatt, worried.

CHRIS

Wyatt?

Wyatt holds his head in pain.

INT. HALLIWELL’S - DINING ROOM - DAY

ON MELINDA AND TAMORA’S FACE - They are shocked.

MELINDA

Come again!

Prue stands before them. Her hands are on her hips, but she still seems calm.

PRUE

Can I have that glass of wine now?

MELINDA

You are not breastfeeding anymore and you deserve it.

Melinda walks behind the counter and pours Prue a glass of wine.

TAMORA

Wait? Brother? Why? How?

Prue walks over to the counter and takes the glass of wine. She has it all in one sip and grimaces after that.

PRUE

Damn, Mel. This isn’t my favorite.

MELINDA

Sorry, but I can’t think. How come you have a brother?

PRUE

Older brother. But it’s not confirmed yet. It can be just someone trying to mess with us. Things have been calmer lately so, I guess it's just about time demons try to break the peaceful season.

TAMORA

And you didn’t know aunt Phoebe carried Cole’s child?

Prue shakes her head.

PRUE

She never mentioned it. We all knew about Cole, now the pregnancy ---

(sighs)

--- well, she never mentioned it.

Prue looks at Melinda.

PRUE (CONT’D)

The wine?

MELINDA

Right!

Melinda takes another bottle of wine.

TAMORA

I guess you blew the guy up the moment he said he was your brother.

Melinda and Tamora look at Prue who seems weirdly calm.

PRUE

No. I didn’t.

Melinda and Tamora glance at each other.

PRUE (CONT’D)

I should have, but I didn’t.

Melinda pours wine into the glass.

PRUE (CONT’D)

There’s more.

Prue takes the glass of wine.

MELINDA

Take it slowly.

Prue shakes her head. Then she sips it all at once. Melina and Tamora stare at her. Once Prue finishes, she takes a deep breath.

PRUE

It didn’t help.

TAMORA

You said there was more.

Prue looks at them.

PRUE

We know him.

Melinda and Tamora don’t understand.

MELINDA

What do you mean?

PRUE

We faced him before ---

(pauses)

--- and won.

MELINDA

Who?

PRUE

Set. The damn Egyptian God.

TAMORA

Fake God.

PRUE

That one. I remember his face from when we went to ancient Egypt last year.

MELINDA

My God. He messed with Osiris.

TAMORA

Set might be your brother’s past life.

Prue shoots Tamora a look.

PRUE

First, he’s not my brother, and second, yes, Set is Colton’s past life. I’m sure of that. And it’s not a coincidence. Set messed with Isis and Osiris, especially Osiris.

MELINDA

So, you believe that’s what is in his plans now?

PRUE

I have no idea what his plans are, but I will find out. First, I need to prove he’s no brother of mine. He cannot be.

(looks seriously at them)

Get on with the kids' party. We are not missing it this year. P3 also needs a Halloween party and I don’t have my manager to help.

TAMORA

Leave it to me.

MELINDA

Go prove he’s not your brother.

Prue nods. The three of them stare at each other.

Wyatt is sitting on the couch. He has his head between his hands. Chris approaches with a glass of water.

CHRIS

Take this. It’ll help.

Wyatt raises up his head and takes the glass.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

What the hell happened to you, man?

Wyatt has a sip of water. Then he shakes his head.

WYATT

No idea. I suddenly felt a strong pain in my head.

CHRIS

Has it happened before?

Wyatt shakes his head again. He stands and puts the glass of water on the desk. He turns to Chris.

WYATT

I’m feeling better now.

CHRIS

Are you sure?

Wyatt nods.

WYATT

I need to tell you what’s happening.

CHRIS

Right. You said it was related to aunt Phoebe.

Wyatt nods.

WYATT

You better sit for this one.

CHRIS

That bad?

Wyatt nods.

WYATT

Aunt Phoebe got pregnant with Cole Turner’s child. She lost the child to the Seer and the Seer lost it to someone else. That child just knocked on our front door earlier today.

And yes, Chris sits back on the chair behind him. He is shocked.

CUT TO:

INT. WHITE MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Melinoe stares seriously at Colton who is sitting on the couch. His eyes are closed and he breaths in and out slowly.

MELINOE

Are you feeling better already?

Colton opens his eyes and stares at Melinoe.

COLTON

You could have warned me.

MELINOE

In my defense, I didn’t know it would cause you this much pain.

COLTON

(stands)

How do I know that it worked?

MELINOE

The only way possible. Use them.

Colton looks at the palm of his hand and ---

BEAT. Soon, a FIREBALL appears. Colton looks at it and smirks. He then throws the FIREBALL at one painting on the wall.

Melinoe and Colton look as the painting is consumed by the fire.

COLTON

Serena is going to hate it.

(looks at his hand)

Now I feel complete.

Melinoe looks at Colton.

COLTON (CONT’D)

(looks at Melinoe)

All my life I felt something was actually missing, but I thought it was just because you tried to keep me away from the Magic Community.

MELINOE

I did it because I knew it was dangerous if they discovered you.

COLTON

They now know I exist.

MELINOE

(walks over to him)

You are my son. Don’t forget that. I always cared for you and I was the one who was always there for you.

COLTON

I know, mother.

MELINOE

You promised to help me.

COLTON

And I will. You will get what’s yours, but first I need to prove to them who I am.

MELINOE

Do that. Remember, tonight, you need to cross the line. Only that will prove to the Leaders that you are who you say you are.

COLTON

(smirks; assures her)

I’m ready.

Melinoe smiles. Colton stares at her with a wicked smirk on his face.

Melinda and Tamora are there. Both of them have organized a meeting with the others to get help to organize both parties. P3 Halloween party and the children's birthday party. Junior, Pandora, Melissa, Eric, Damon, and Ethan are there.

PANDORA

Can you two tell us what’s going on?

MELINDA

A crisis.

JUNIOR

On which Earth?

MELINDA

Ours.

TAMORA

Short version. Aunt Phoebe had a child before she met uncle Coop.

MELINDA

Technically, she didn’t.

TAMORA

Technically, someone else had aunt Phoebe’s child.

Junior and Melissa glance at each other.

MELISSA

Is that even possible?

JUNIOR

I was orbed out of my mother’s womb.

MELINDA

It was something like that. The thing is that this person, the child, now a man, has appeared and claims to be that child.

TAMORA

And Prue is right now submitting herself to a DNA test to prove him wrong.

MELINDA

If he’s right, we’re going to be in huge trouble.

TAMORA

We are even if he isn’t.

DAMON

(suspicious)

Why?

MELINDA

That’s another story.

ETHAN

(confused)

Wait, you’re saying that someone orbed Phoebe’s baby out of her womb?

PANDORA

Oh, darling!

MELINDA

We don’t have time to explain in detail. What we need now is to focus on P3’s Halloween party and Tina and Matt’s birthday party.

TAMORA

Both need to happen tomorrow.

MELINDA

And everything needs to be perfect.

TAMORA

For our own sake. We need this.

ERIC

After last year, I couldn’t agree more. Where’s Charlie?

MELINDA

Mad at Magic School.

ERIC

Mad?

MELINDA

She’s is mad at aunt Phoebe.

TAMORA

Because no one knew about this pregnancy until now.

ETHAN

Wait, but how ---

MELINDA

We’ll explain later, Ethan. Now we need to organize ourselves.

ERIC

Well, good thing that Ethan and I are on days off.

ETHAN

Thanks to you. Now that you are in charge of the ER, it gets easier.

Eric and Ethan nod.

MELISSA

I can be part of the Halloween party. I’m not a kid’s person.

Junior shoots Melissa a look. Melissa looks at him.

MELISSA (CONT’D)

What? It is true.

PANDORA

I’m with Melissa. Halloween party.

TAMORA

Melissa and Pan. Who else?

JUNIOR

Count me in.

ETHAN

I have helped my sister plan her kids birthday party so, ---

Ethan looks at Melinda. She nods.

ERIC

I brought Tina to this world.

DAMON

And I’m a kids person.

Melinda shoots Damon a look.

TAMORA

Fine. Junior, Melissa, and Pandora stay with me.

MELINDA

Eric, Damon, and Ethan with me. I’m coordinating a team of men. For a children's birthday party.

(sarcastic)

How great is that?!

Melinda and Tamora look at each other.

TAMORA

Melinda nods.

This is a busy street. Lots of cars, lots of people on the sidewalk. The CAMERA focuses on one person in particular. A young woman, ELEANOR (26), is distributing flyers to the people who pass by.

ELEANOR

(to the people who pass by)

First Wiccan convention. Don’t miss it.

(hands it to a woman)

It’ll be a once-in-a-lifetime event. Tonight.

(hands it to a man)

Men are welcome too. Everyone who has a passion for the occult will be welcome. Don’t need to be Wiccan for real.

(smiles at someone)

It’ll be fun. Let your inner witch come out.

The CAMERA keeps focusing on her. Then the CAMERA moves away to ---

Melinoe. She walks over to Eleanor and stops in front of her.

MELINOE

(to Eleanor)

Can I have one of those?

ELEANOR

Of course. Are you passionate about Wiccan?

MELINOE

You can bet I am.

Eleanor hands Melinoe a flyer. Melinoe walks away while Eleanor keeps handing flyers to others.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT LABORATORIES - ROOM - DAY

This room is like any other room in a laboratory. It is full of modern equipment. Two chairs were placed side by side.

A lab technician, SHAWN (30s) walks in followed by Cassandra, Prue, and far behind, Colton.

SHAWN

(to Prue and Colton)

Normally is the mother or father’s sample, but with siblings it can work too.

PRUE

We are not siblings.

COLTON

(shoots Prue a look)

We are here to prove that wrong.

Prue ignores Colton’s comment.

PRUE

Can we get on with this?

Shawn nods.

COLTON

Eager to get rid of me, little sis?

Prue shoots Colton a look. He smirks. Shawn and Cassandra look at each other.

SHAWN

You both can seat down.

Shawn shows them where to sit. Prue and Colton sit each in one chair. Colton glances at Prue while she looks forward with a close face. Cassandra walks over to Shawn as he starts preparing the syringe needles to take the samples. She speaks to him with a low voice.

CASSANDRA

Those samples cannot be compromised.

SHAWN

Don’t worry, Mrs. Halliwell. I’ve got orders from Mr. Hale to work on this exclusively. We have new equipment that can provide us results in 24 hours and Mr. Hale offered a generous payment to not take my sight off of these samples.

CASSANDRA

(half-smiles)

Thank you.

Shawn smiles at Cassandra and gets back on preparing things. Cassandra turns around and looks at Prue and Colton. While Prue tries to ignore Colton, he glances at her with the smirks on his face.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT LABORATORIES - CORRIDOR OUTSIDE ROOMS - DAY

Some technicians walk down the corridor as Wyatt walks in. He’s on the phone.

WYATT

(on the phone)

I’m feeling better, Chris. --- Yes, I need to be here for Prue. I’m not letting her go through this alone. --- She’s already inside. Cass is with them. --- Yes, I’ll keep you posted. Just check on aunt Phoebe. Bye.

Wyatt hangs off the phone. He reaches one of the doors. Looks at it and then sighs. He waits outside.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT LABORATORIES - ROOM - DAY

Shawn has the syringes ready to take the blood samples. He takes one of the syringe needles and approaches Prue and Colton. Both Prue and Colton have their right arms ready.

SHAWN

Who wants to go first?

Prue looks at Colton and shoots him a sarcastic smile.

PRUE

The eldest first, right?

Colton looks at her and smiles.

COLTON

If you say so.

Colton looks at Shawn and nods. Shawn approaches Colton. Shawn gets Colton’s arm ready to draw the blood.

SHAWN

Make a fist.

Prue and Cassandra look at them. Shawn is going to stick the needle into Colton’s arms when it breaks. Shawn is astonished. Prue and Cassandra look at each other.

SHAWN (CONT’D)

This was not supposed to happen. I’ll get another.

Shawn turns around. Prue and Colton look at each other.

COLTON

Why did that happen?

PRUE

(low voice)

Relax your arm and let him stick the needle.

Colton shoots her a look.

PRUE (CONT’D)

(low voice)

I know what I’m talking about. It happens to me all the time.

Colton does as she says. He tries to relax. Cassandra looks around and signs them that Shawn is ready. Shawn walks back to them.

SHAWN

Let’s try again?

Colton nods.

SHAWN (CONT’D)

Make a fist.

Colton does. Then he closes his eyes. Shawn sticks the needle into Colton’s arm. And drains the blood. Seconds later, he pulls the needle out. He turns to grab another needle and walks over to Prue.

SHAWN (CONT’D)

(to Prue)

Will it break?

Prue forces a smile.

PRUE

It could, but I’ll behave.

Shawn smiles. He gets Prue’s arm ready. Prue looks at Cassandra who forces a smile on her. Shawn sticks the needle into Prue’s arm at the first attempt. Shawn pulls out the needle and turns around. Cassandra walks over to Prue.

CASSANDRA

(to Prue)

Are you okay?

Prue looks at Cassandra. Colton looks at them.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

You never let a needle stick into your arms.

PRUE

(forces a smile)

I’m calm.

(looks at Colton)

Curiously calm.

Prue and Colton stare at each other seriously.

Wyatt walks back and forth. He seems worried.

OFF TO THE LAB DOOR - It opens. Colton comes from the room. He looks at Wyatt.

COLTON

I didn’t know you were here.

Wyatt stops and looks at Colton.

COLTON (CONT’D)

I left them inside. Guess I trust them more than they trust me.

WYATT

Would you blame them? You come out of nowhere with a fantasy story and you expect them to believe you are their brother?

Colton lets out a sarcastic smile.

COLTON

It’s not fantasy. It’s the truth.

WYATT

Why now?

COLTON

I just found out. Believe me, it took me a while to decide if I should or should not look for my family.

WYATT

This is not your family.

Wyatt and Colton get face to face. Both of them have a serious expressions on their faces. Then Colton smiles.

COLTON

I’m not the enemy.

Colton steps back. He reaches out his hand.

COLTON (CONT’D)

I’m just looking for the truth about myself.

Wyatt looks at Colton’s hand.

COLTON (CONT’D)

I’m nothing more than a victim of the circumstances.

Wyatt and Colton look at each other seriously. Then, Wyatt reaches out his hand and both of them shake hands.

BEAT. As soon as their hands' touch, a strong BEAM OF ENERGY burst from them pulling them apart and throwing them back. Luckily, no one else is there. Colton hits a wall and falls on the floor while Wyatt hits the roof and ends up falling on the floor too. Both of them look at each other across the hall.

OFF TO LAB DOOR - Prue and Cassandra come from the room. They glance around and see both Wyatt and Colton standing.

PRUE

What happened?

Prue rushes to Wyatt. Cassandra looks at Colton.

CASSANDRA

What did you do?

Colton looks at Cassandra and smirks.

COLTON

I did nothing, little sis.

CASSANDRA

I’m not your sister.

Prue approaches Wyatt.

PRUE

(to Wyatt)

What happened?

Wyatt looks at Colton, then he looks at Prue a forces a smile.

WYATT

Nothing. Are you ready to go?

Prue nods. She turns to Colton and Cassandra. Colton approaches them.

CASSANDRA

The results will be ready tomorrow.

COLTON

Tomorrow you’ll have the proof that I’m a Halliwell.

PRUE

Our name is too precious to be used for someone like you.

Colton smiles.

COLTON

You don’t know me, sis. But we’ll have all the time in the world.

Colton turns around and walks off. Wyatt puts an arm over Prue’s shoulder.

WYATT

Are you okay?

Prue nods.

CASSANDRA

He can’t be our brother, Prue.

PRUE

Let’s wait for tomorrow.

CASSANDRA

I’m gonna stay here. I want to make sure no one alters the results.

PRUE

I can’t ask you that.

CASSANDRA

You’re not. I’m doing it because I want to. You are the big sister. Period.

Prue smiles.

CASSANDRA (CONT’D)

Now, please. Get ourselves and the kids a proper birthday party and a blast of a Halloween party for us adults to get drunk.

PRUE

I think I’ll look for a nanny ‘cause I need to get drunk too.

All three of them smile. Then Cassandra walks into the room. Prue turns to Wyatt.

PRUE (CONT’D)

Are you going to tell me what happened here before?

Wyatt looks seriously at Prue.

WYATT

Whoever he is, he might be powerful. Really powerful.

Both Prue and Wyatt look at each other seriously.

Some people are there. Men and women. All of them have drinks and canapés.

Eleanor is socializing with the guests. She smiles at them all and signs them to take a seat on the chairs placed there. At the front of the room, there is a table with three chairs behind it. People start taking their seats. Eleanor speaks at them all.

ELEANOR

Dear, guests. I’m so honored that all of you are here. If you’re here, I guess that somehow you believe in magic. I’ve called two friends of mine to talk about the craft.

Eleanor signs to two others, a man and a woman, to approach her.

ELEANOR (CONT’D)

Magic can be real if you dare to believe in it. I know we have some curious here that don’t believe magic is a real thing. But believe me, it is.

People look at one another.

ELEANOR (CONT’D)

It is everywhere.

Eleanor keeps talking as the CAMERA moves away to the entrance of the room.

BEAT. A MAN wearing a golden MASK walks in followed by other men wearing black and with their faces covered. Those are demons. The Golden Mask demon seems to be in charge of the whole gang.

Eleanor stops talking as she realizes the arrival of the demons.

ELEANOR (CONT’D)

Excuse me, this is the Wicca convention. Are you sure this is the right place for you to be?

GOLDEN MASK DEMON

(voice altered)

This is right where we should be.

The Golden Mask Demon nods to the others. What happens next is hell on earth. The Golden Mask Demon raises up his hands and FIRE comes from them hitting everyone in the room. The demons do the same and throw FIREBALLS at the guests.

Eleanor is horrified by what’s happening. Everyone tries to find cover. Eleanor does the same as the demons break havoc in the place. Lots of people are incinerated and scream in pain. Eleanor glances around and is horrified at the scene. The Golden Mask Demon looks at Eleanor and reaches out his hand. FIRE comes from them and is about to hit Eleanor, but this one uses her power of INVISIBILITY.

ELEANOR’S POV - She sees the whole scene surrounded by a cloud of blue smoke. She sees how FIRE comes in her direction and lowers down.

The Golden Mask Demon stares at the place where Eleanor just was.

GOLDEN MASK DEMON (CONT’D)

Burn it all to the ground.

The Golden Mask Demon turns around and walks off. The demons set fire to the whole place.

INT. HALLIWELL / COOP MANOR - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Piper walks back and forth. Leo is sitting on the couch. Coop is sitting right beside a shattered Phoebe.

PIPER

We all saw it.

LEO

Piper, you’ve said that.

PIPER

Paige saw how the Seer drained the fetus from Phoebe’s womb to hers. Then we all saw how she couldn’t handle the powers of the baby herself.

COOP

Somehow the fetus found its way to a new womb.

PIPER

(stops; mad)

Why not Phoebe’s? She was right there.

LEO

Maybe because it knew Phoebe wasn’t strong enough to hold it.

PHOEBE

He said I was.

They all look to Phoebe.

PHOEBE (CONT’D)

He blames me. I didn’t look for him.

PIPER

First, we need to prove that he is who he says he is.

LEO

Yeah, maybe he’s wrong. Or this might be a plan to get to us.

COOP

Leo is right, Phoebe.

PHOEBE

You don’t understand.

(looks at them)

He has his eyes.

Phoebe and Piper look at each other.

PHOEBE (CONT’D)

Cole’s. The same blue eyes.

COOP

It doesn’t mean anything, Phoebe.

PHOEBE

I saw Cole when I looked at him.

(glances at them)

It was like looking at Cole.

PIPER

Phoebe, you are not really believing in this nonsense, are you?

PHOEBE

I don’t know what else to believe, Piper.

(stands)

I never thought about it after I lost the baby. But one thing Colton said was right. I never cared to check if the baby was really gone.

PIPER

(mad)

For crying out loud, Pheebs, we saw the Seer being destroyed. The fetus was inside of her.

PHOEBE

I know, but what if he really did find a way to get himself into another womb?

PIPER

You are not listening to yourself.

PHOEBE

You know that Paige wanted to orb Junior from Mia’s womb to hers.

PIPER

It’s different. Paige’s womb wasn’t ready to host a baby back then and the baby was ready to be born.

PHOEBE

And my baby was only a few weeks old when I lost it. It could find another womb. He was Cole’s child. He was powerful. The Source’s heir.

PIPER

And it is dead.

LEO

Stop the two of you. We need to wait for the DNA results.

PIPER

I don’t need a DNA test to tell me this whole story is bullshit.

COOP

We all need to calm down.

SOUND - Front door opening.

Moments later, Prue and Wyatt walk in. They all turn to Prue and Wyatt.

COOP (CONT’D)

(to Prue)

So, how did it go?

PRUE

It is done.

Phoebe approaches Prue and holds her daughter’s hands.

PHOEBE

Ladybug, I’m sorry I never mentioned that baby you.

PRUE

It’s okay.

PHOEBE

It’s not okay. I should have ---

PRUE

(cuts her off)

It was not important.

Phoebe and Prue look at each other.

PRUE (CONT’D)

He is not my brother. The results will prove it. Cass is staying there to make sure no one tries to alter the results.

WYATT

In less than 24 hours we’ll know the truth.

COOP

Where’s Charlie?

Prue looks at Coop.

PRUE

She texted. She’ll be staying in Magic School.

PIPER

What do we do in the meantime?

WYATT

We do nothing, mom. We just wait.

PRUE

Besides, life doesn’t stop and we shouldn’t stop ours.

PHOEBE

(to Prue)

Can we talk? In private?

Phoebe and Prue look at each other. Then Prue nods.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT THREE

[Prue Brianna Johnna Halliwell]

ACT FOUR

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. HALLIWELL / COOP MANOR - PRUE’S OLD BEDROOM - NIGHT (SHORTLY AFTER)

Prue walks in followed by Phoebe. Phoebe closes the door behind her. Prue doesn’t turn to her mother. Phoebe looks at her.

PHOEBE

I can understand that you are disappointed.

Prue turns around.

PRUE

Disappointed doesn’t come close to how I feel.

Phoebe lowers her gaze.

PRUE (CONT’D)

I thought we didn’t have secrets, mom.

PHOEBE

(looks at Prue)

I never intended to keep it a secret. It just wasn’t important.

PRUE

It was my brother. My sisters and I had the right to know that there was another before us.

PHOEBE

There wasn’t. That pregnancy ---

(swallows)

--- it wasn’t actually mine. The Seer and Cole, the Source, planned the whole thing. I remember how I felt when I was carrying that baby. I couldn’t control it.

(walks over to Prue)

Yours was different. I felt how powerful you were, and you went out of control a few times while inside my womb, but nothing like that.

(pauses)

Honey, you have all the right to be mad for not telling you, but please, understand.

PRUE

I’m not mad, mom. And I’m not disappointed. I actually don’t know how I feel. I just know that after last year, I won’t let anyone mess with my life and my family. It doesn’t matter if it proves true that he is my brother. I’m not letting him mess with what I love the most.

PHOEBE

He might be good.

Prue lets out a sarcastic smile.

PRUE

Oh, he’s not. Believe me, I know him.

PHOEBE

What do you mean?

Prue is about to answer when the door opens and Wyatt peeks inside.

WYATT

Something happened. You need to see this.

Prue and Phoebe look at Wyatt. Then, they all walk out of the bedroom.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Melinda, Eric, and Ethan are there. The three of them are staring at the TV screen, astonished.

REPORTER (V.O.)

The first Wiccan convention of the modern era was marked by this terrible disaster. Armed terrorist entered the facility and ---

Wyatt and Prue walk in.

WYATT

Have you ---

Wyatt realizes they are watching the TV.

WYATT (CONT’D)

That.

Melinda, Eric, and Ethan turn to Prue and Wyatt.

MELINDA

Wiccan convention? Seriously? Are we coming out in the open now?

Tamora and Pandora walk in.

TAMORA

We heard about it. Junior, Melissa, and Chris have gone there. All three of them are on duty.

ETHAN

Do witches do conventions now?

PRUE

We don’t. That was probably a practitioner or something like that.

MELINDA

They are saying they were terrorists and even haters.

PRUE

Or worse.

Wyatt looks at Prue.

WYATT

Are you thinking ---

PRUE

Demons. Why not?

PANDORA

Why would demons attack practitioners?

ERIC

Why are we pretending there were just practitioners there?

WYATT

Eric is right. We should better investigate.

Damon SHIMMERS in.

DAMON

Okay, it’s settled. The kids are staying at Magic School.

PRUE

What?

They all look at Damon.

MELINDA

I thought it was better. It could help Charlie to calm down. She’s a little shattered with all that’s happening.

WYATT

She’s not the only one.

ERIC

I tried to reach her, but she got mad when I asked her to calm down.

MELINDA

(to Prue)

Did you and Charlotte switch bodies or what?

Prue rolls her eyes.

PRUE

Maybe they should stay there. We need to get into that whole convention thing.

SOUND - DOORBELL.

Wyatt turns around and walks off.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ENTRANCE - NIGHT (CONTINUOUS)

Wyatt comes from the living and goes to open the door. There, Eleanor stands. She seems nervous.

ELEANOR

Hi. Is this the Halliwell manor?

WYATT

Can I help you?

ELEANOR

I need magical help.

ON WYATT - He stares at Eleanor with a serious expression on his face.

CUT TO:

EXT. WICCAN CONVENTION LOCATION - NIGHT

Firefighters, paramedics, the coroner office, and police officers are there as well as some reporters covering the disaster. A perimeter was set. Melissa and Chris are standing there. They stare as bodies are taken from inside the place and into the coroners’ van. Chris has his camera with him.

CHRIS

I need to find a way to get in.

MELISSA

It’s too dangerous. Junior is inside. I’m sure he’ll find anything in case there’s something to be found.

Chris shoots Melissa a look.

CHRIS

A Wiccan convention, Melissa. This was demons’ work. For sure.

MELISSA

Or your obsession with demons. You think I don’t know you’ve been going after demons every now and then?

Chris rolls his eyes.

OFF TO JUNIOR - He comes from the inside with a police officer and a firefighter. They exchange a few words and then Junior walks out the perimeter. He approaches Chris and Melissa.

CHRIS

(anxious)

So?

Junior sighs.

JUNIOR

Everyone is dead.

Chris and Melissa look at each other.

JUNIOR (CONT’D)

Their bodies ---

MELISSA

Stop. I mean, I get the idea and it’s enough for me to write about it.

CHRIS

Demons?

JUNIOR

I don’t know. Some witnesses mentioned that men with their faces covered walked into the place. It could be one of those devices that shoot fire or something like that.

CHRIS

Devices? J, we don’t believe in that.

JUNIOR

But those things exist and in case it turns out to be demons behind this then we need a better story to cover what happened here tonight.

MELISSA

And how do we find out what happened here tonight?

CHRIS

The only way possible.

Junior and Melissa look at Chris.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

We dig into it.

The three of them glance at each other.

CUT TO:

INT. WHITE MANOR - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

ON THE BURNED PAINTING - It still hangs on the wall.

Melinoe BLUE FLAMES in at the same time that Colton walks in wearing black and holding a golden mask in his hand.

COLTON

You couldn’t wait, could you?

Colton turns to Melinoe. She smiles at him.

MELINOE

I didn’t know you had it in you.

Colton goes to the drinking cart and pours himself a drink.

COLTON

You raised me away from the magic community. But I learned all I know from you. You’re Hades' daughter. Why did you want me to be good if you knew I was the Source’s heir?

MELINOE

I didn’t. You were naturally good. I didn’t shape the way you were. On the other hand. I taught you all I knew so you could get better. Learn all good and evil. But you made your choice.

Colton walks over to her.

COLTON

I don’t feel that good right now.

MELINOE

(smirks)

That’s your true nature coming out. You have your powers to the fullest now. You are complete and you have chosen a side now.

COLTON

The evil side.

MELINOE

When you killed those people you crossed the line that keeps good and evil apart. There’s no coming back now, honey.

COLTON

It was your plan all along, wasn’t it?

MELINOE

(shakes her head)

No. I had that vision when you were born. I never had another vision again. Not like that one. I actually tried to keep you away ‘cause I was afraid they would take you from me. No matter what, you are my child.

COLTON

I have their blood.

Melinoe gets serious.

MELINOE

Darling, you have more than just their blood. You are the one they never expected. I’m sorry I kept you away from the truth. I was selfish. Yes. But now ---

COLTON

You need me. You need my true self. You want me to help you to take the throne from your father and sister.

Melinoe stares seriously at Colton.

COLTON (CONT’D)

And you want to get revenge on them because they took the only other one who could help you.

(pauses)

Jared.

MELINOE

I was so selfish about you that I found another to help me get my throne without having you in the middle of it.

COLTON

You have me in the middle of it now, mother.

MELINOE

Does it mean that you are going to help me?

COLTON

Any doubt I would?

Melinoe smiles.

COLTON (CONT’D)

I am the Source’s heir. I’m willing to take my own throne back and also my rightful place as a Halliwell.

Melinoe reaches out her hand and touches Colton’s face softly.

MELINOE

My dear, boy. I am so proud of you.

Colton smirks.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

Your wife is going to hate what you’ve become and she’ll hate me more than she already does for turning you into the best version of yourself.

COLTON

Leave Serena to me.

Melinoe smiles. Both of them stare at each other.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - CONSERVATORY ROOM - NIGHT

Eleanor stands in front of Wyatt, Prue, Melinda, Tamora, Pandora, Damon, Eric, and Ethan. Eleanor is very nervous as she explains to them what happened.

ELEANOR

They came and started shooting fire and hitting everybody.

WYATT

(walks over to Eleanor)

Okay, just calm down. Take a deep breath.

Eleanor looks at Wyatt and nods.

WYATT (CONT’D)

Now, start from the beginning.

ELEANOR

I organized this Wiccan convention.

PRUE

Oh, so it was your idea?!

ELEANOR

I was tired of us living in hiding all the time. But I swear, I didn’t mean to expose magic.

ETHAN

Do you know about magic?

ELEANOR

I’m a witch.

They all are surprised at this revelation.

ELEANOR (CONT’D)

I thought it was a good idea for us witches to gather and to make others more comfortable with magic even if they thought it was not for real.

WYATT

You realized that it caused this whole mess?

Eleanor nods.

ELEANOR

Why would demons attack in a public place? They were seen entering the place.

Chris ORBS in and Junior ORBS in bringing Melissa. Eleanor sees them ORBING.

ELEANOR (CONT’D)

Oh!

Junior and Chris glance at each other.

ELEANOR (CONT’D)

Whitelighters, right?

CHRIS

Who is she?

PRUE

Apparently, the only survivor of that damn freaking convention.

ELEANOR

My intentions were good.

PRUE

Your intention killed a bunch of people.

Eleanor feels bad about it.

JUNIOR

So, you saw what happened?

Eleanor nods.

ELEANOR

They shoot fire from their hands. And also fireballs.

CHRIS

Demons.

Eleanor nods.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

(to Eleanor)

Are you a witch?

Eleanor nods.

ELEANOR

With active powers. It actually came in handing. I turned invisible just in time. The leader was going to hit me with fire.

WYATT

The leader? How was he?

ELEANOR

He was wearing a mask. A golden mask.

MELINDA

A mask? That’s new.

TAMORA

They are not content with hoods anymore.

PANDORA

How do we find a masked demon?

Prue and Wyatt look at each other with worried expressions on their faces.

CHRIS

(to Prue)

Do you still want to summon all the matriarchs here?

Prue and Chris look at each other.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - SOURCE’S OLD CAVE - NIGHT

This cave seems to be abandoned for a very long time. Melinoe BLUE FLAMES in bringing Colton with her. Colton looks at Melinoe.

COLTON

You need to tell me how to do that.

MELINOE

I don’t. I believe you just need to focus.

Colton glances around.

COLTON

Where are we?

MELINOE

This was the half-face Source’s cave. I thought you could use it to gather with your
followers.

COLTON

Do I have followers already?

MELINOE

Didn’t the others follow you before?

Colton smirks.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

And that was just the beginning. More will join.

Colton paces the place. The old throne is still there covered in spider webs.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

But there’s something else you should do.

Colton turns to Melinoe.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

A witch escaped.

COLTON

I know. She used her power to escape.

MELINOE

You must find her and kill her.

COLTON

I thought I already crossed the line.

MELINOE

You did.

(smirks)

But she was the only witch in that group. You’ll prove yourself to your followers.

COLTON

You’re right. I should do that.

MELINOE

I’ll take care of the place.

(walks over to the throne)

You should sit on your father’s chair. Cole Turner never sat here, but the Source’s essence possessed the body of the one who did.

They look at each other.

COLTON

About the Source’s essence ---

MELINOE

You don’t need it. Part of it lies within yourself. You are a natural Source.

Both Melinoe and Colton stare seriously at each other.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - NIGHT TURNING INTO DAY

FAST MOTION FOOTAGE all over the town.

CUT TO:

EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR - DAY

STILL.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTIC - DAY

ON BOOK OF SHADOWS - Someone is flipping through its pages.

Wyatt is by the Book of Shadows turning page after page. He seems a little tired. He takes his fingertips to his temples, puts a little pressure, and rubs the temples. It seems like he’s having a headache.

OFF TO PRUE - She walks in and takes her hands to her hips as she sees Wyatt there.

PRUE

You went to bed late and woke up earlier than me?

Wyatt looks at her and smiles. He disguises his pain.

PRUE (CONT’D)

(walking over to him)

Something wrong?

WYATT

I’m fine. I just couldn’t sleep knowing that some freak is out there killing people.

PRUE

I want to go to Magic School and check on the kids, but ---

WYATT

Go. I’ll handle things here.

Prue nods.

PRUE

I’m gonna try to talk some sense into Charlie.

WYATT

Do that.

Wyatt leans to kiss her. Then Prue BEAMS out. As Prue leaves, Chris ORBS in. He stares at Wyatt.

CHRIS

I found a big nothing.

Wyatt stares at him. Chris wears the same clothes as the day before.

WYATT

Did you spend the whole night on that?

CHRIS

Have you found anything there?

Wyatt shakes his head.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

Then don’t complain. That book has failed us.

WYATT

(mad)

Chris!

CHRIS

Sorry. I didn’t mean that.

Wyatt walks towards his brother.

WYATT

It’s been a while since you mentioned her.

Chris looks away.

WYATT (CONT’D)

I know you miss her.

CHRIS

(mad)

She was my wife. The mother of my kids. Of course, I miss her.

(sighs)

I just don’t want to talk about it.

WYATT

Well, you should. It’s better than spending hours, days even, down there vanquishing demons.

CHRIS

I’m behaving, remember? Since that damn intervention you made. I’m better.

WYATT

I know, but ---

CHRIS

I don’t want to talk about it, Wy.

Chris gives his brother a serious look. Wyatt drops the matter.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

Where’s Eleanor?

WYATT

Downstairs. Melinda has prepared breakfast.

CHRIS

Great. I’m starving.

Chris turns around and leaves the attic as Wyatt watches him leave. Then Wyatt takes his fingertips to his temples again and rubs them.

CUT TO:

INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - MAIN LIBRARY - DAY

Charlotte walks in. She seems to be annoyed. Prue walks after her sister.

PRUE

Just listen to me, Charlie, please.

CHARLOTTE

(facing her sister)

No. I can’t believe you are okay with this.

PRUE

I’m not okay with this. Don’t fool yourself. I just understand why mom did what she did.

CHARLOTTE

She lied to us.

PRUE

She hid something. Something that happened before she even met dad.

Charlotte crosses her arms over her chest.

PRUE (CONT’D)

Listen, I understand you are mad about the possibility of us having a brother.

CHARLOTTE

Aren’t you?

Prue looks seriously at her sister.

CHARLOTTE (CONT’D)

why aren’t you setting the world on fire?

PRUE

Do you want me to set the world on fire or do you want me to try to figure out what are this man’s plans?

Charlotte stares seriously at Prue.

CHARLOTTE

What do you mean? Do you think he’s lying? He seemed very convincing.

PRUE

I really hope he’s lying. But we need to wait for the results to be sure. Regardless, he’s not just after the family he could have.

CHARLOTTE

Do you think he has an agenda?

PRUE

I don’t. I know. If his story turns out to be true, then he is Cole’s son. And back then, when he was conceived, Cole was the Source.

CHARLOTTE

He’s evil?

PRUE

I’m not sure of that, but I can’t sense good from him.

Charlotte seems calmer now. Prue walks over to her and grabs Charlotte’s hands.

PRUE (CONT’D)

Charlie, we need to be together. The three of us and the whole family. Including mom.

Charlotte nods.

CHARLOTTE

If he turns out to be our brother, it’ll make him the eldest.

Prue nods.

PRUE

I am the firstborn female witch of this family. A Twice Blessed and a Charmed One. I know sometimes I seem a bit cocky, but I do it because I need people to know that when it comes to my family, I’m capable of anything.

CHARLOTTE

Sometimes you are so full of yourself.

PRUE

What would be fun on that if I weren’t?

Charlotte lets out a smile.

OFF TO CASSANDRA - She BEAMS in followed by Coop who BEAMS in bringing Phoebe.

Prue and Charlotte look at them. Cassandra is serious.

CASSANDRA

I’ve got the results.

Cassandra takes her smartphone out of her pants pocket and hands it to Prue.

CASSANDRA (CONT’D)

I haven’t seen them. It’s in my email.

Prue takes the phone and stares at him waiting for the courage to check it. Phoebe, Coop, Charlotte, and Cassandra look at Prue.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT FOUR

[Prue Brianna Johnna Halliwell]

ACT FIVE

FADE IN:

INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - MAIN LIBRARY - DAY (TIME LAPSE)

Prue walks back and forth staring at the smartphone’s screen. Phoebe and Coop look at each other.

COOP

(to Prue)

Honey, I can do it if you ---

PRUE

I can. I just need ---

Prue stops and turns to them. She takes a deep breath.

PRUE (CONT’D)

No matter what’s in here, it changes nothing. We are a family.

(to Charlotte)

Right?

Charlotte nods. Charlotte turns to Phoebe and Coop.

CHARLOTTE

Mom? I’m sorry for the way I reacted. I know you didn’t do it on purpose. And I know how you loved my sisters and me.

PHOEBE

Oh, honey, the three of you are my life.

CHARLOTTE

I know.

PHOEBE

I didn’t mean to keep this from you. It was a long time ago. I never felt it like my child.

CHARLOTTE

I know, mom.

(reaches out her hand)

The three of us are your children no matter what.

Phoebe holds her daughter's hand. Cassandra approaches them.

CASSANDRA

No matter what.

Cassandra holds Charlotte and Phoebe’s hands. Coop and Prue smile. Phoebe, Charlotte, Cassandra, and Coop look at Prue.

PHOEBE

We need to know what it says.

Prue nods. Then she checks the email on the phone. Prue’s expression is unreadable. The others are impatient.

PHOEBE (CONT’D)

Prue, please.

Slowly, Prue looks at the others and BEAT. Her expression is not good.

PRUE

Positive.

Charlotte and Cassandra are shocked. Phoebe takes her hands to her chest. Coop supports Phoebe.

PRUE (CONT’D)

There’s a blood relation. There’s 25% that he’s our brother.

Cassandra turns to Phoebe.

CASSANDRA

Mom, you need to come to the lab with me. We must be 100% sure.

COOP

I think there’s no doubt.

CHARLOTTE

There’s actually 75% of doubt.

COOP

Girls, don’t lie to yourself.

PHOEBE

I’ll go.

Phoebe holds Cassandra’s hand.

PHOEBE (CONT’D)

Let’s go.

Cassandra nods. Prue hands Cassandra her smartphone and nods. Cassandra BEAMS out taking Phoebe. Coop looks at Prue and Charlotte.

COOP

He’s your sibling now.

PRUE

Sorry, dad. I have two sisters, that’s it. That man will never be related to me. Period. Now, if you’d excuse me, I have some demons to find and some parties to call off.

Prue BEAMS out. Coop and Charlotte look at each other.

COOP

Is it just me or Prue is too calm?

CHARLOTTE

Calmer than normal.

Charlotte sighs. Then Coop embraces Charlotte.

CUT TO:

INT. WHITE MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Colton comes in checking his phone. He smirks as he checks the results. Melinoe walks in too.

MELINOE

So?

COLTON

(facing her)

25%. We are half-siblings.

Melinoe smiles.

MELINOE

Any doubt you were?

COLTON

None.

MELINOE

What are you gonna do now?

COLTON

I’ll pay a visit to my family.

ON COLTON - He smirks.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Eleanor is there. Melinda and Damon are there too and so is Chris. Eleanor is trying to convince them of something.

ELEANOR

Honestly. I appreciate that you’re trying to help me, but seriously, I don’t think the masked demon would come after me.

MELINDA

We still haven’t found anything about those demons, so it is better if you stay here until we find and vanquish them.

ELEANOR

But, guys ---

Wyatt walks in.

WYATT

Melinda is right.

(to Eleanor)

We must protect you.

ELEANOR

But ---

WYATT

No buts. You’re staying here.

Prue comes in from the conservatory room. They all look at her. They realize her expression.

WYATT (CONT’D)

Love?

PRUE

He’s my half-brother.

Wyatt rushes to Prue. Chris and Melinda look at each other.

WYATT

How are you?

Prue forces a smile.

PRUE

I’m ---

(sighs)

--- me.

WYATT

Even Prue Halliwell can break.

PRUE

Not yet.

Wyatt kisses her forehead.

DAMON

What happens now?

Prue and Wyatt look at the others.

PRUE

We’ll find the masked demon and his team and vanquish them.

MELINDA

Should we call off the parties?

Prue nods.

ELEANOR

No, please. I can’t accept that you put your life on hold because of me.

CHRIS

This is something that involves all the magical community, so ---

ELEANOR

No.

They all stare seriously at Eleanor.

ELEANOR (CONT’D)

I know what happened last year. Your lives were a mess. Your kids were taken from you because of a freak demon who wanted what all the others want.

(pauses)

The power.

(smiles)

Don’t put your lives on hold again because of that. You deserve to live. Those kids, the future generation, deserve better.

They all glance at each other.

ELEANOR (CONT’D)

Masked demons, sources, avatars, you name it. There will always be something to fight against, but right now only happens once. Make it happen.

Prue walks over to Eleanor and smiles.

PRUE

You are right. Thank you.

(turns to the others)

Tell the others. Protect the house. We’re holding a double birthday party in this house this afternoon and a Halloween party tonight at P3.

CHRIS

You’re forgetting the blessing.

Prue looks at Chris who smiles at her.

CHRIS (CONT’D)

You’re right. We’ve postponed it for too long.

Prue smiles. Wyatt pats Chris’ shoulder.

WYATT

(to Eleanor)

And you’re staying under our protection.

ELEANOR

I won’t fight that.

They all smile.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - SOURCE’S OLD CAVE - DAY

The cave seems cleaner than before. Colton is there. He is wearing a very elegant black suit. He walks over to the throne and runs his fingers on the throne.

OFF TO THE ENTRANCE - A leader of the Underworld comes in. His name is BAK (40s). He stares at Colton.

BAK

Ready to take your place?

Colton turns to Bak and smiles.

COLTON

I’ve waited too long.

BAK

It was about time the right heir took the place. Not even the Twice Blessed witches could keep the throne.

COLTON

I will.

(smirks)

This is my father’s legacy after all.

BAK

It is. Soon, the whole Underworld will be ready to sword loyalty to you and so you be crowned as the Source of All Evil.

COLTON

Great. I wish nothing more.

BAK

Melinoe mentioned you still have one task to complete before that happens.

COLTON

I have a witch to kill.

BAK

Great.

(smiles)

I still can’t believe that our next leader is not other than the heir of Cole Turner and a Charmed One.

COLTON

You better do because that’s exactly who I am.

Bak smirks.

COLTON (CONT’D)

Now, if you’d excuse me ---

And BEAT. Colton FLAMES out. Bak SHIMMERS out.

They place the cakes on the tables. Both Melinda and Sebastian glance around and smile. Tamora, Pandora, Melissa, Ethan, and Eric come in carrying the food and Melinda signs them where to put it.

Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Leo, Coop, and Henry come in and glance around. Charlotte and Cassandra look at their mother who carries a heavy expression. Both sisters glance at each other.

MUSIC FADES OFF.

PIPER

Have you got the spell?

Wyatt nods.

PIPER (CONT’D)

Let’s call the matriarchs here then.

Prue and Chris come in carrying Tina and Matt, while Melinda comes carrying Phoenix, Charlotte comes in carrying Peri and Phoebe comes carrying Patience.

Andy is busy with a charge and Alex ---

Well, you know he’s taking a time off with his girlfriend.

PRUE

Welcome, aunt Prue.

PHOEBE

Let’s get this started.

They all nod. Prudence approaches her sisters and all the original Charmed Ones hold hands.

ORIGINAL CHARMED ONES

‘I call forth from space and time

Matriarchs of the Warren Line

Mothers, Daughters, Sisters, Friends

Our family spirit without end.

To gather now, in this sacred place

and help us bring this child to grace.’

Then, matriarch spirits from different time periods appear in the room. Among them is Penny Halliwell. The matriarchs look at the others.

PIPER

A new generation has been born into our family. They are our legacy and the continuation of who we are.

PENNY

We pledge to be with these children. Apart but never separate. Free but never alone. They are part of the Warren Line and because of that, we will bless them all the goodness that we are.

Penny walks over to the children and smiles.

PENNY

(to Matt)

MATRIARCHS

Blessed be.

WARRENS AND FRIENDS

Blessed be.

Penny smiles at them all.

PENNY

Take good care of the next generation. The future is theirs.

Penny steps back and stands beside the other matriarchs. They all smile at the others.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - CONSERVATORY ROOM - DAY (LATER)

After the blessing, everybody but the matriarchs are there enjoining the double birthday party. There are two cakes at the main table. Everybody seems to be enjoying the party.

Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Prudence talk.

PRUDENCE

(to Phoebe)

When will you get the result?

PHOEBE

Tomorrow.

PAIGE

I can’t believe it. After all these years. I was there when the Seer took the fetus out of you.

PRUDENCE

How crazy is that? Is it even possible?

PHOEBE

I don’t know, but something in my heart tells me that he really is my son.

PIPER

You have three daughters, Pheebs. That’s it. That other baby wasn’t yours. Your words.

PHOEBE

I know, but I can’t feel those words anymore. Not in here.

Phoebe touches her chest.

PRUDENCE

Well, no matter what, we’ll be here for you Pheebs.

Phoebe smiles at her sisters.

PHOEBE

Thank you.

All four sisters hold hands.

CAMERA MOVES TO - The kids are with the grandfathers Leo and Coop and also Henry is there playing with the kids. A.J. and Allen are with them.

Not far from them, Tamora, Pandora, Sebastian, and Ethan talk.

PANDORA

--- so, we are ten now.

Tamora looks at her sister.

PANDORA (CONT’D)

Should we change the Power of Nine spell now?

TAMORA

Actually, sis, if we count on aunt Prue’s kids, this generation has twelve members.

PANDORA

Right. Then we are thirteen now.

(grimaces)

That’s worse.

SEBASTIAN

I still want to check with the Elders. They must know something.

TAMORA

I doubt it, but you can try.

ETHAN

I still can’t understand how a fetus changes wombs just like that.

Junior and Melissa approach them.

JUNIOR

It’s called magic.

MELISSA

There’s a lot of that around.

CAMERA MOVES TO - Chris and Wyatt are talking while watching their father playing with the kids.

CHRIS

I’m still worried about yesterday, Wy.

WYATT

(shoots Chris a look)

Do you want to talk about worrying?

Chris looks away.

WYATT (CONT’D)

You don’t talk to me anymore. I know you gave up on the obsession for the hunt, but I know something is happening.

CHRIS

Nothing is happening.

Chris can’t look at his brother in the eye.

WYATT

Then why sometimes do you ask us to look after the babies and then you disappear all night?

CHRIS

Well, because I need some time to myself.

WYATT

Some time to yourself? What do you do with that time?

CHRIS

Look, Wyatt ---

(looks at Wyatt)

--- I haven’t gotten over what happened, okay? Bianca was the love of my life. I still hurt at her loss.

WYATT

I know.

CHRIS

Then don’t pressure me. I’m fine. I just, ---

(swallows)

--- I just need my alone time with her.

Wyatt shoots Chris a look. Wyatt wants to say something, but then he feels a pain in the head. Wyatt grimaces. Chris notices.

CHRIS

What is it?

WYATT

Nothing. I’m fine. I’ll be right back.

Wyatt walks out of the room.

CAMERA MOVES TO - Prue walks over to her father who puts an arm over her shoulder. They stare as the kids as they do something funny. Leo carries Phoenix in his arms.

CAMERA MOVES TO - Charlotte and Melinda take some drinks and join Cassandra and Johnathan.

MELINDA

(to Charlotte)

I’m glad you’re calmer now.

CHARLOTTE

Me too. But I can’t just accept that he is my brother.

CASSANDRA

Neither can I.

JOHNATHAN

You girls need to keep a cold head.

MELINDA

Johnathan is right.

CAMERA MOVES TO - Damon and Eric are near them talking in a low voice.

DAMON

I can’t understand why she doesn’t want to pick a date.

ERIC

Just give her time.

DAMON

Time? She said yes when I proposed. Why is she so reluctant in picking a date?

ERIC

Women. Halliwell women.

CAMERA MOVES TO - Prue walks over to Chris.

PRUE

Hey, where’s Wyatt?

Chris looks seriously at her.

CUT TO:

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

Wyatt is there on his back to the door. He is seriously looking forward. Then he lowers down his gaze. Wyatt wraps his shirt right sleeve up and ---

ON WYATT’S LOWER ARM AND HAND - BEAT. His veins have a black shade from the palm to the lower arm.

Wyatt stares seriously at it. The worry is notorious in his facial expression.

OFF TO THE ENTRANCE - The door opens. Prue walks in. She looks at Wyatt.

PRUE

Love?

Wyatt doesn’t turn right away. He rolls the sleeve down. Prue walks over to him.

PRUE (CONT’D)

Honey, are you okay?

Wyatt turns around and looks at her. He then forces a smile.

WYATT

Of course.

PRUE

Why did you leave the party?

WYATT

(deviating his glance)

I was just ---

PRUE

Don’t lie to me.

Wyatt looks at her.

PRUE (CONT’D)

I can feel that something is wrong.

(touches his face)

Tell me.

Wyatt swallows. He then lowers his gaze. He lifts his shirt right sleeve again. Prue looks at his arm. She is surprised at it.

WYATT

It started last night and it has spread slowly ever since.

PRUE

What is it?

They look at each other. Wyatt clearly doesn’t know.

WYATT

I have no idea. But I’m afraid.

(sarcastic laugh)

Wyatt Halliwell is afraid.

PRUE

Wyatt Halliwell is allowed to be afraid.

WYATT

I am a Twice Blessed witch.

PRUE

So am I.

Prue cups his face between her hands.

PRUE (CONT’D)

We’ll find out what’s going on the same way we do everything.

(pauses)

Together.

Wyatt nods. She then kisses him. Then Wyatt leans his forehead on hers.

PRUE (CONT’D)

We need to be down there for our kids.

WYATT

And then we have P3.

PRUE

We can call it off.

WYATT

No. We can’t. We can’t postpone life.

Prue nods. They kiss again. Slowly, but passionate.

CUT TO:

INT. WHITE MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY

ON COLTON’S RIGHT ARM AND HAND - Just like Wyatt’s, Colton’s arm veins are black from the hand to the lower arm.

Colton stares seriously at it. Melinoe is standing in front of him.

COLTON

It started last night. I gave it no importance, but ---

MELINOE

It must be related to who you are.

COLTON

What do you mean?

Melinoe is serious.

COLTON (CONT’D)

Is this because I got all of my powers back?

MELINOE

It is more than that.

COLTON

More than that? Do you care to elaborate?

Melinoe looks seriously at Colton.

MELINOE

There is something I haven’t told you about.

COLTON

Something like what?

MELINOE

You were born on the day that all magic died.

Colton frowns.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

It was the day of the Wiccan Festival of Lights. The day where an old prophecy came to be fulfilled.

Colton swallows.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

All forms of magic ceased on this holy day to welcome a Twice Blessed child into the world. But there wasn’t just a child, but two.

COLTON

You mean ---

MELINOE

You were born on the same day and at the exact same hour as another.

BEAT. It hits Colton.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

Wyatt Halliwell is considered the firstborn Twice Blessed witch, but ---

(pauses)

--- there is another.

(pauses)

You.

ON COLTON - He is serious.

MELINOE (CONT’D)

You, Colton Turner, Halliwell if you prefer, are a Twice Blessed Witch. A firstborn Twice Blessed witch.

ON COLTON - He can’t believe what he has just listened to. He is astonished.

CUT TO BLACK.
