[EXT. VARIOUS SAN FRANCISCO CITY (STOCK) - NIGHT]



[INT. P-3 -- NIGHT]  

(PAIGE walks up to PIPER and PHOEBE at the bar.)  

PIPER:  Hey, Paige, where ya been?   You're late.

PAIGE:  I know. I'm sorry.  I got tied up.

PIPER:  Where?  At Richard's?

PAIGE:  No! I was at work.  Get your mind out of the gutter, missy.

PHOEBE:  Hey, you're the one that orbs home to find lingerie.

(PHOEBE laughs.)

PAIGE:  Two times.  I did that twice.

PIPER:  Yeah, it's about the only time we ever see you anymore.

PAIGE:  Why did I come here?  To get picked on?

(PHOEBE gives her a hug.)

PHOEBE:  Because we love you.

PIPER:  We kind of miss you.

PAIGE:  I am not at Richard's that much.  

(Both PHOEBE and PIPER raise their eyebrows at her.)

PAIGE:  Fine.  Ok, maybe I am, but, you know, I am just an orb away if you need 
help.

PIPER:  Yeah, the thing is, we just gotta be careful, because if we stray too 
far away from each other, demons take advantage.  We've learned that lesson the 
hard way a few times.

(PHOEBE nods.)

PAIGE:  I know.  I know.  I get it.   I just really don't want to think of us 
living together in fifty years.

PIPER:  Nah! Twenty, thirty years tops.

PHOEBE:  We could always move to Hong Kong.  So I could see Jason whenever I 
want to.

PIPER:  How do you say "dream on" in Chinese?

PHOEBE:  Ni Tsai Tsua Mung.

PIPER:  Impressive.

PHOEBE:  Berlitz.  And what about you, Missy?  Spill it!

PIPER:  Spill what?

PHOEBE:  Come on. You and Greg -- put out any fires lately?

PIPER:  Is that supposed to be a subtle fireman reference?

PHOEBE:  Yeah, you like it?

PAIGE:  Wait a minute.  You're going out with a firefighter?

PIPER:  Proof positive you haven't been around much.

(PAIGE rolls her eyes and shrugs.)

PHOEBE:  (summarizing)  Let's see. They've been seeing each other for about 
three weeks, and someone -- I won't say who, (whispers loudly) although it's not 
the fireman -- is avoiding taking it to the next step.

PIPER:  I am not avoiding.  I'm just a little reluctant.  That's all.

PAIGE:  My dear, it is time to get back in the saddle.

PIPER:  Now a cowboy reference.

PHOEBE:  Piper, you just need to relax and let it happen.

PIPER:  Yeah, easy for you to say.  You weren't the one sleeping with an angel 
for three years.

PHOEBE:  Yeah, but you were nervous when you and Leo first started, you know.  I 
seemed to remember that you used to freeze him during all the good parts, right?  
Hey, maybe you should, uh --

PIPER:  No. I'm not freezing Greg.  I'm so nervous I'd probably blow him up.

PHOEBE:  Well ...

PIPER:  Gutter, gutter, gutter.

(PHOEBE laughs.)

(CHRIS approaches them and walks by them.)

CHRIS PERRY:  What are you guys talking about?

PHOEBE:  Stuff.

(Not wanting to spare the time, CHRIS walks past them and heads for the back 
room.)

PAIGE:  Hey, where you going?

CHRIS PERRY:  I'm gonna go work on the next demon ... stration!

PHOEBE:  Chris, why don't you relax and come have a drink with us.

CHRIS PERRY:  Thanks, but I didn't come here to relax.

(CHRIS walks away.  PAIGE rolls her eyes and turns to the others.)

PHOEBE:  That is one bitchy Whitelighter.

PIPER:  You're telling me.

PAIGE:  Hey, Piper, why don't you, uh, go talk to the guilt machine over there.  
Mmmm?

(PIPER slips off her stool to follow CHRIS.)  

CUT TO:



[INT. P-3 - BACK ROOM - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]  

(The door opens to the darkened back room.  CHRIS turns on the light to find a 
woman sitting in the chair patiently waiting for him.  She looks at him.  He 
recognizes her instantly.)  

(He closes the door softly behind him.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Bianca ... 

(She stands up and they move toward each other.  CHRIS shakes his head in 
confusion.)  

CHRIS PERRY:  I don't understand.  What are you doing here?

(She places her finger against his lips to stop the questions.)

BIANCA:  Shh.  There'll be time to explain later.  

(She turns her wrist up where we see a bird-shaped birthmark on her inner wrist.  
She intimately drags her finger down his neck and lower still down the front of 
his chest.

BIANCA:  But for now ...

(Her eyes rise to meet his.  Then with one swift movement, she plunges her hand 
into his chest, power flows from CHRIS out through her hand.  CHRIS slowly sinks 
down as she drains him of his power.)  

(The door opens and PIPER walks in.)

PIPER:  Hey, Chris, you know, all work and no -- hey!

(BIANCA pulls her hand out of CHRIS' chests and powers up an energy ball.)  

(PIPER blasts her into dust.)

(CHRIS slowly slides down the wall, gasping and clutching in chest in pain.  
PIPER walks over to him.)

PIPER:  Are you ok?

(CHRIS sits there a moment, gasping for breath and stunned.)

CHRIS PERRY:  (panting)  Yeah. I think so.  

(PIPER helps CHRIS to his feet.)

PIPER:  What happened?  Who was she?

(CHRIS looks at PIPER and lies bare-faced to her.)  

CHRIS PERRY:  I don't know.

CUT TO:



[EXT. P-3 ALLEY - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS]

(In the alley out back of P-3, black dust swirls in a tornado-like formation and 
reconstitute back into BIANCA.  She looks back over her shoulder, grave and 
determined to finish what she started.  She turns and walks out of the alley, 
shimmering out mid-stride.)

FADE IN.

[EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR - NIGHT]



[INT. MANOR - ATTIC -- NIGHT]  

(PAIGE stands at the Book of Shadows and flips the page over.  She points to the 
mark in the drawing of the Demon.)  

PAIGE:  Is that the mark?

(PIPER looks.)

PIPER:  No, it looked more like a bird.

PAIGE:  A bird? So you're saying maybe the Audubon society sent the demon after 
us?

(PIPER plops herself on the chair in the corner of the attic.  PHOEBE sits on 
the arm rest of the same chair while CHRIS paces the floor nervously, trying not 
to make it a big deal.)

PIPER:  Just keep looking.

CHRIS:  Guys, I'm telling you, I'm fine. Don't sweat it.

LEO:  (ignoring his protests)  You sure she wasn't a Darklighter?

PIPER:  I'm sure.

PHOEBE:  What else would be after a Whitelighter?

LEO:  I don't know.  That's what worries me.

CHRIS PERRY:  She's gone.  Piper blew her away.  What's the big deal?

PHOEBE:  The big deal is someone tried to kill you, Chris.

CHRIS PERRY:  Look at me.  Not a scratch.  Nothing.

(PHOEBE rolls her eyes and shakes her head.)

LEO:  Yeah, how did she get that close to you anyway, if you didn't even know 
who she was?

(CHRIS resumes his pacing and steps on a squeaky floorboard.  He glances down at 
it.)  

CHRIS PERRY:  You really ought to fix that, you know.

LEO:  Come on, Chris.  Who's after you?

CHRIS PERRY:  Has it crossed your mind that maybe she wasn't after me?  Maybe 
she was trying to get to them.

(PAIGE looks up from the book.)

PAIGE:  Kind of makes sense.

CHRIS PERRY:  Finally!  Somebody's listening to me.  

(LEO looks at CHRIS doubtfully, but doesn't say anything.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some work to take care of.

(CHRIS walks out of the attic.)  

LEO:  He's not telling the truth.

PAIGE:  Leo, maybe there's nothing to tell.

LEO:  (to PHOEBE)  Could you sense anything?

PHOEBE:  From Chris?  No, I can never sense anything from him.

PIPER:  What are you thinking?

LEO:  I'm thinking that if we figure out who she was, we might be able to figure 
out who Chris is.

PAIGE:  Well, we're not gonna find it in here, (she slams the Book shut)  ... at 
least not until we have more to go on, so you guys know where I'm gonna be if 
you need me.

(PAIGE heads for the door.  PHOEBE stirs and gets up.)

PHOEBE:  Yeah. I gotta go, too.

(They both leave the attic.  LEO watches in amazement.)

LEO:  Wait, you're just gonna let 'em go?

PIPER:  What do you want me to say?  They have lives, too.  Besides, what more 
can we do?

LEO:  Well, we can try and figure out who the demon is and make sure nobody else 
is after him.

(The doorbell rings.  PIPER turns her head in that direction.)  

LEO:  I'll get it. You just keep checking out the book, ok?

(LEO orbs out before PIPER can stop him.)

PIPER:  No, Leo, really, I'd rather you --

(But he's gone.  PIPER gets up.)

CUT TO:



[INT. MANOR - FOYER - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]  

(LEO orbs in front of the door.  He opens it to find GREG standing on the front 
porch.)  

LEO:  Can I help you?

GREG:  Yeah, is Piper home?

LEO:  Uh, Who's asking?

GREG:  I'm Greg.  She's expecting me.

(GREG looks beyond LEO and sees PIPER coming down the stairs.)

PIPER:  Leo, I got it. Sorry.  I'm running a little late.

(PIPER grabs her bag and is wearing her jacket as she heads out the front door.  
GREG gives PIPER a kiss on the cheek.)  

GREG:  Leo, as in your -

PIPER:  Yeah.  One and the same.  Leo, Greg.  Greg, Leo.

GREG:  Nice to finally meet you.

(They shake hands, though it's very obvious that LEO hasn't a clue about GREG.)

LEO:  Thanks.  Finally.

PIPER:  So, are you gonna be ok taking care of everything -- Wyatt ... and 
Chris?

LEO:  (smiles tightly)  Uh, yeah.  Absolutely.  

(There's a pause as PIPER looks at him doubtfully.  LEO reassures her.)

LEO:  Really, everything'll be fine.  If anything comes up, I'll call you.

PIPER:  Ok. Thanks.  Good night.

(GREG waves to LEO as he and PIPER leave the house.  LEO closes the door slowly 
behind them, leaning heavily on the door handle for just a moment.)

CUT TO:



[INT. MANOR - BATHROOM - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS]  

(CHRIS checks the festering wound on his chest.  It looks really bad.  He stares 
at it in the mirror for a while, then slowly buttons up his shirt, his face 
pained with the memory of BIANCA.)  

(CHRIS bows his head for a moment and sighs heavily.  He lifts his eyes to the 
mirror, digs into his pocket and takes out an engagement ring.  He looks at it 
... )

(Remembering ... )

CUT TO:



[EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAWN - FUTURE]

(The scene is San Francisco in the Future.  There are many buildings still 
there, but many are damaged, burned and still smoudering.  A flying transport 
crosses the skies and disappears in the distance.  The large video screen on the 
side of the building shows the latest entertainment.)  



[EXT. SAN FRANCISCO -- ARBORETUM - DAWN - FUTURE]

(With a damaged Golden Gate Bridge for a backdrop, the arboretum itself is also 
torn apart.  Sirens and other emergency sounds fill the air.)  

(But amidst the gray, damaged and decaying world, the camera moves down to focus 
on two hands awash in color, life and love:  One putting an engagement ring on 
the finger of the other.)

(BIANCA looks up from the ring on her finger and smiles, tears welling up in her 
eyes.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Will you marry me?

BIANCA:  You're asking me now?

CHRIS PERRY:  (nods)  Mm-hmm.

BIANCA:  Here?

CHRIS PERRY:  This is still our spot, Bianca, no matter what he's done to it.  
Marry me.

BIANCA:  On one condition.  You come back to me ... (CHRIS laughs) ... safely.

CHRIS PERRY:  Have I ever let you down before?

(They look at each other.  BIANCA reaches for CHRIS and they kiss.)

(A whirring sounds in the distance.  BIANCA breaks the kiss.  Pulling apart a 
bit, she glances around.)

BIANCA:  What's that?

(They look around and see a probe flying over the arboretum wall.  It dives into 
their spot and starts to scan BIANCA.)

BIANCA:  Chris!

(CHRIS waves his hand and telekinetically throws the probe into an old stone 
angel statue.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Uhh!

(It explodes on impact.)

(BIANCA takes a couple of deep calming breaths.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Are you ok?

BIANCA:  Yeah.  Yeah.  I don't think it had time to transmit.

(CHRIS surges to his feet in frustration.)

CHRIS PERRY:  (angry)  I cannot believe he's sending probes after us now.  I'm 
gonna kill that son of a bitch.

(BIANCA gets to her feet to calm him down.)

BIANCA:  No. No, you're not.  You're gonna stick to the plan.

CHRIS PERRY:  But he knows.

BIANCA:  No. If he knew, he wouldn't have sent the probe.  You have to go back, 
Chris.  It's the only way to stop him.  It's the only way to change all this.

(It's a hard responsibility for the young couple.  CHRIS closes his eyes.  
BIANCA lifts his hand and tenderly kisses his knuckles.)

DISSOLVE TO:



[INT. MANOR – BATHROOM – DAY – PRESENT]

(CHRIS looks away from the engagement ring.  He sighs heavily, then tucks the 
ring back into his pocket.  He exhales deeply, his face filled with pain.)

CUT TO:



[EXT. RICHARD RESIDENCE - MORNING]



[INT. RICHARD'S RESIDENCE - BEDROOM - MORNING]  

(RICHARD carries a lap tray filled with breakfast and a vase with a single red 
rose on it over to the bed.)  

RICHARD MONTANA:  Morning.

(PAIGE sits up as he puts the tray down on the bed.)

PAIGE:  Wow!

RICHARD MONTANA:  (disappointed)  "Wow." One of the most powerful witches in the 
world, and all you can say is, "wow."

PAIGE:  I don't know. Maybe I just need a little more inspiration.

(She gives him a look and a smile.  RICHARD can't resist.  He leans forward and 
kisses her.)

RICHARD MONTANA:  Well?

PAIGE:  I still think "wow" pretty much covers it.  You better be careful, 
'cause a girl could get used to this.

RICHARD MONTANA:  That's the plan.

(She laughs lightly.)

RICHARD MONTANA:  Did you tell your sisters you were moving out?

(PAIGE can't meet his look, but he knows the answer.)

RICHARD MONTANA:  (disappointed)  No.  

PAIGE:  Like, it just -- it hasn't really been the right time.  You know, things 
have been a little funky, and ... 

RICHARD MONTANA:  There's never a right time.  

PAIGE:  You don't understand.  Piper would probably blow a major gasket, and 
then we've got all the family obligations, and ... like it or not, we're 
stronger together.

RICHARD MONTANA:  (nods)  You gotta do something for you.

(The cell phone rings.  RICHARD points to the phone on the bedside table.)

RICHARD MONTANA:  Should I get that?  

(PAIGE nods.  RICHARD hands the phone to PAIGE.  She looks at the caller ID.)

PAIGE:  It's the house.

(Frustrated by it all, RICHARD looks away.)  

PAIGE:  Hello?

CUT TO:



[INT. MANOR - CONSERVATORY -- MORNING]  

(PAIGE orbs into the conservatory where LEO and WYATT sit with the open Book of 
Shadows on the table in front of them.)  

LEO:  Paige, when I said I needed you, I meant a fully-clothed you.

PAIGE:  (scoffs)  Oh, please, Leo, what's the big emergency?

LEO:  What would you say if I told you whoever attacked Chris was called a 
Phoenix?

PAIGE:  Well, I would say, "What's a Phoenix?"  And then you'd probably tell me.

LEO:  They're a family of assassin witches who are very elite, very powerful, 
and who were born with a distinct birthmark symbolizing their rise from Salem's 
ashes.

PAIGE:  Well, does the book say what they want?

(LEO pushes the book toward PAIGE to look at the write-up.)

LEO:  Just whatever bounty they're after, which, in this case, is Chris, which 
means they're still after him, and they won't stop until they succeed.

PAIGE:  Did you call Phoebe and Piper?

LEO:  No, Phoebe's at work, and Piper came in kind of late, so I didn't want to 
disturb her.

(LEO doesn't look at PAIGE.)

PAIGE:  Oh!  Did she, um, come home alone?

LEO:  (quietly)  I don't know.

(PIPER walks into the Conservatory dressed in her robe.)

PIPER:  Hey!  Talking about me?

LEO:  (nervously)  Morning.  Hi.  No.  Uh ... 

(LEO stands up and carries WYATT over to PIPER.)

LEO:  Listen, Wyatt's been fed.  

(PIPER takes WYATT.  LEO steps away.)  

LEO:  And I'm gonna get some coffee and Paige'll fill you in.

(LEO leaves the room.  PIPER gives PAIGE a look.)

PIPER:  What's going on?

PAIGE:  Oh, Leo just found out that a coven of assassin witches called the 
Phoenix are after Chris.

PIPER:  So that's what you guys were talking about?

PAIGE:  Yeah, in the beginning, and then I just kind of asked him if you'd maybe 
come home with anybody.

PIPER:  I see.

(WYATT gurgles.  PIPER looks at him.)

PAIGE:  Did you?  

(PIPER doesn't seem like she's going to say.)

PAIGE:  Oh, come on.  If a girl can't ask that, what can a girl ask?

PIPER:  Actually, no.

PAIGE:  I'm sorry. Maybe he's just not the right guy.

PIPER:  (sighs)  No, it's not Greg.  It's just me.  It's just weird now that I'm 
a mom.  I feel like I'm betraying Wyatt somehow.

PAIGE:  I think you're just betraying yourself.

PIPER:  Yeah. I know.  It's just weird.  (changes topic)  So, uh, coven of 
assassin witches.

PAIGE:  Yeah.  Maybe we should call Phoebe.

PAIGE:  No. I think we can do this by ourselves.  I don't think you have to 
bother her.

PIPER:  Well, what if we need the Power of Three after we find them?

PAIGE:  You didn't need the power of three to blow up the last one.

PIPER:  No, but --

PAIGE:  So, we need to try out this whole Power of Two thing, learn how to be 
flexible, right? So, you stay here.  I'm gonna go get the scrying crystal.

(PAIGE leaves the room.  PIPER thinks about PAIGE for a moment, then turns to 
look down at WYATT.)

PIPER:  Hmm.

CUT TO:



[EXT. BAY MIRROR BUILDING (STOCK) - DAY]

ELISE ROTHMAN:  (v.o.)  Phoebe, I offered you the time off. Take it!  



[INT. BAY MIRROR - PHOEBE'S OFFICE -- DAY]  

(ELISE stands at the doorway looking into the office.)  

ELISE ROTHMAN:  Go see Jason in Hong Kong.

(PHOEBE turns around and shrugs.)

PHOEBE:  It's just another airport, another city.

ELISE ROTHMAN:  You can always send in the column.  E-mail, fax machine.  It's 
the 21st century, and I'd like to welcome you to it.  When I say take time, I 
don't mean a vacation.  Go live there for a while.  Give it a shot.

PHOEBE:  Elise, I don't--

ELISE ROTHMAN:  No! I want you to listen to me!  It's time I gave you some 
advice for once.  

(ELISE steps into the office.)  

ELISE ROTHMAN:  Don't let it be work.

PHOEBE:  What do you mean?

ELISE ROTHMAN:  There's a whole generation of women out there who followed the 
dream, built successful careers ... but at the expense of everything else.  Now, 
I'm not saying I think they all made mistakes, 'cause some of them are very 
happy, but some of us aren't.  Trust me, you don't want to wake up one day and 
realize that all you've got is your career.

CUT TO:



[INT. CONDO -- DAY]  

(The door opens and a woman finds PIPER and PAIGE standing out in the hallway.)  

PIPER:  (smiling cheerfully)  Hi!  How's it going?

LYNN:  Can I help you?

PIPER:  Hopefully.

PAIGE:  Yeah. See, we just moved in from out of state, and we wanted to get to 
know our neighbors.

LYNN:  Oh, well, welcome.  Where did you move from?

PIPER:  (huge grin)  Phoenix.

LYNN:  Really?  

(PIPER and PAIGE both smile at her.)

LYNN:  Please, come in, come in.

(She motions the inside.  PIPER and PAIGE both walk into the apartment.)

PAIGE:  Thank you.

LYNN:  Mm-hmm.

(LYNN closes the door behind them, then locks it.)

(They walk into the living room.)

PIPER:  Wow! Nice place.

PAIGE:  Yeah, real nice.

LYNN:  Thank you.

(A little girl runs out in front of her mommy and tugs at her shirt.)

LITTLE BIANCA:  Mommy. Mommy, can you play with me?

(LYNN takes her daughter's hand and holds it.)

LYNN:  Bianca, sweetie, could you give mommy a minute? Ok?  

LITTLE BIANCA:  Okay.

(PIPER notices the phoenix birthmark on the inside of LITTLE BIANCA'S wrist.  
LYNN ushers LITTLE BIANCA out of the room.)

LYNN:  Go and play with your toys. I'll be right in, ok?

PAIGE:  Now what?

(LYNN closes the door behind BIANCA, turns and throws an energy ball at PIPER 
and PAIGE.)

(They step aside.)

PIPER:  Look out!

(LYNN powers up another energy ball.  This time, PIPER blows her up.  PIPER 
motions to PAIGE.)  

PIPER:  The kid!

(They hurry to the next room.)

(Cut to:  Inside the room, the door opens.  PIPER and PAIGE watch as LYNN 
reforms in the bedroom and picks up LITTLE BIANCA.)

LYNN:  Hurry, Bianca!

(She shimmers them both out.)

PAIGE:  (stunned)  They can re-form?

PIPER:  (dryly)  Apparently.  Which means the one that attacked Chris can, too.

CUT TO:



[EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - ARBORETUM - DAY - PRESENT]

(It's the arboretum.  Set with the Golden Gate as its backdrop, the gardens are 
in its pristine beauty.  CHRIS orbs into the garden in front of the angel statue 
... his and Bianca's "spot".)

(It takes him an unusually long time to orb.  The orb lights travel slower than 
normal for him.  Barely reformed, CHRIS gasps in pain and manages to sit on the 
concrete bench.)

(BIANCA steps out from behind the angel statue.)

BIANCA:  You really shouldn't try to orb anymore, you know?  It could kill you.

CHRIS PERRY:  Is that what you want?

BIANCA:  If that's what I wanted, you'd already be dead.  All I want is to bring 
you back.

CHRIS PERRY:  How'd you know I'd be here?

BIANCA:  Same reason you knew I'd be waiting here.  I mean, this is still our 
spot ... isn't it?

CHRIS PERRY:  (shakes his head)  No.  This is what we hoped it would be.  This 
is what we were trying to preserve for our future.   Do you remember?

BIANCA:  We were naive to think we could change anything ... to stop him.

CHRIS PERRY:  You don't believe that.  

(He looks at BIANCA and sees that she does.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Or at least you didn't.

BIANCA:  Well, I do now.

CHRIS PERRY:  What happened to you, Bianca?  How did he turn you back?

BIANCA:  That's not important.  What is important is that I was interrupted in 
stripping you of your powers, and if I don't finish what I started, you'll die 
soon.  Think of it as ... an infection.  And I'm the only one with the antidote.

CHRIS PERRY:  Here or there, I am dead anyway.

BIANCA:  No.  He gave me his word he wouldn't hurt you.  Now, please, Chris, 
don't make this any harder than it has to be.

(CHRIS turns to look at BIANCA.  Instead of staying, CHRIS orbs out.  BIANCA 
reaches forward to grab the orbs -- to stop him, but CHRIS is gone.)

CUT TO:



[INT. MANOR - LIVING ROOM/ FOYER - DAY]

(The Charmed Ones and Leo discuss PIPER and PAIGE'S encounter with the Phoenix 
Assassin.)  

PHOEBE:  Wait.  How old is the little girl?

PIPER:  I don't know.  Four?  Five?

(CHRIS orbs into the room and promptly falls to the floor, weakened by his 
ebbing powers.)

PAIGE:  Chris!

(They rush over to him.  PAIGE turns him over, but CHRIS is nearly delirious.)  

CHRIS:  (mumbles)  Bianca ... 

(PIPER looks down at CHRIS.  Camera holds on CHRIS.)  

FADE OUT

(COMMERCIAL SET)



FADE IN.

[EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR - DAY]



[INT. MANOR - CONSERVATORY -- DAY]  

(CHRIS is lying on the couch.  LEO opens his shirt to reveal the infected wound 
on his chest much larger than before.)  

PHOEBE:  Oh, my god.  What is that?

LEO:  I don't know.

PIPER:  Doesn't matter.  Just heal him.

(LEO puts his hands on CHRIS to heal him.)

PAIGE:  Why didn't he tell us about that?

PIPER:  Why doesn't he tell us about a lot of things?  

(PIPER notices that LEO'S having a difficult time healing CHRIS.)

PIPER:  What's the problem?

LEO:  He's not healing.  Something's draining his powers and blocking mine.  
It's like a virus.

(LEO pulls his hands away.)

PIPER:  A virus named Bianca.

PHOEBE:  You think she did this?

PIPER:  It's gotta be.

PAIGE:  Yeah, but it doesn't explain why she would come back from the future 
just to kill him.

PIPER:  Well, somebody had to have sent her.  She's a hired gun.

PHOEBE:  Well, we have to find her to save him, figure out what she did --

CUE SOUND:  EMPATH ABILITY

PHOEBE:  Whoa.

(PHOEBE moves forward and kneels next to CHRIS on the couch.)

LEO:  What is it?

(PHOEBE stares at CHRIS.)

PHOEBE:  Oh, my god.  He loves her.

PAIGE:  Loves who?  Bianca?

PHOEBE:  Yeah.  She broke his heart.

(CHRIS moves.  PHOEBE looks down at his hand and sees that he's holding 
something.  PHOEBE reaches out and removes it from CHRIS' grasp.)

PHOEBE:  Engagement ring.

(She holds it up for them to see.)

PIAGE:  Obviously an acrimonious split.

(PIPER reaches for the ring.)

PIPER:  Well, at least we have something to scry for her now.  You guys work on 
the vanquishing potion in case she's not in the mood to help.

(The girls walk out of the room leaving LEO alone with CHRIS.  LEO 
sympathetically looks down at CHRIS hearing him call out the name of the woman 
he loves.  Just another thing the two men have in common.)

CHRIS PERRY:  (mumbling)  Bianca.  Bianca.

(CHRIS moves slightly, trapped in the memory of his past.)

TOUR GUIDE:  (echoing)  (v.o.)  Welcome to the Halliwell Memorial Museum ... 

WHITE FLASH TO:



[INT. MANOR - FOYER/MAIN HALL - DAY -- FUTURE]  

(The Halliwell Manor is no longer a home, but a museum.  A tour guide leads a 
tour group through the house.)  

TOUR GUIDE:  ... a tribute to magic, and, of course, The Charmed Ones.  Please 
remember there is no digi-capturing, no holographing, and most certainly, no 
magic allowed while inside the museum.  That's a big one.  Don't worry about 
those probes, folks.  They are merely scanning for witches.

(The TOUR GUIDE moves on.  The probes scan the group as they follow her.)

TOUR GUIDE:  (o.s.)  Now, as we pass through the foyer, note the family 
portraits hanging on the walls which date all the way back to the witch trials, 
including one of the grand matriarch herself, Melinda Warren, the woman who 
literally gave birth to the storied legacy...

(After the main group walks by the probes, CHRIS and BIANCA trail behind.  With 
a wave of his hand, CHRIS moves the probes away from them to scan the mannequin 
in the corner.)

BIANCA:  Nicely done.

(The Tour Continues into the SITTING ROOM.  The furniture has been removed and 
various displays are set up with mannequins wearing costumes from past episodes 
such as 5X05-Magic Wears a Mask and 5X01/02-A Witch's Tail.)

TOUR GUIDE:  Around you, you'll notice just a few of the many mythological 
creatures the legendary sisters transformed into in their demon-fighting heyday.  
Actually, The Charmed Ones were responsible for well over 1,000 demon vanquishes 
before they were finally vanquished themselves.  

(The TOUR GUIDE hits a control and the lights dim.)

TOUR GUIDE:  Now, the time is 25 years ago.  Imagine yourselves standing here on 
this very floor when The Charmed Ones were reborn.

(A large holographic screen appears and a Scene from 4X01:  Charmed Again (1) 
shows on screen.  Bright lights from above the main hall shine down on PAIGE, 
PIPER and PHOEBE, consecrating them The Charmed Ones.  When the light dies, 
PAIGE lets go of their hands.)

HOLOGRAPHIC PAIGE:  (freaked out)  Ok. What was that?

HOLOGRAPHIC LEO:  I think that means you're supposed to be here.

(The front door crashes open and a force enters the house, pushing the girls to 
the floor.  SHAX materializes out of the winds.)

(The sight of him on screen scares the people in the tour group.  The TOUR GUIDE 
smiles, amused.  She turns the hologram off.)

TOUR GUIDE:  Scares 'em every time.  Ok, let's head over to the kitchen where 
many of the sisters' classic potions were brewed.  Some of which are available 
for purchase in the gift shop on the way out.  

(The TOUR GUIDE leads the group into the next room.)



[INT. MANOR - KITCHEN - DAY - FUTURE - CONTINUOUS]

TOUR GUIDE:  (o.s.)  Of course, the attic was the preferred spot for potion-
making, principally, because that's where kept the famed Book of Shadows which 
is where we're headed next.

(The TOUR GUIDE walks out of the kitchen.  The group follows her.)

TOUR GUIDE:  A little background on the manor itself.  It was actually destroyed 
in the earthquake in 1906, but ... 

(The group leaves.  BIANCA and CHRIS linger in the kitchen.  A demon appears in 
the room.)

DEMON:  Hey, you two, move along.

BIANCA:  (to CHRIS)  Wait for it. 

(The DEMON steps forward just as an athame appears in her grip.)

DEMON:  Are you deaf?  I sa--

(As soon as he speaks, BIANCA knows that he's right behind her.  She turns and 
lethally slashes the DEMON with the athame.  He goes up in a wall of fire and 
smoke.)

(For a moment, CHRIS has a stunned look on his face at the viciousness and 
efficiency of the kill.)

(Without a further thought about it, BIANCA walks past the vanquished DEMON and 
heads for the basement door.  She opens the door and looks back at CHRIS.)

BIANCA:  Come on.  



[INT MANOR - BASEMENT - DAY - FUTURE - CONTINUOUS]

(BIANCA runs down the stairs.  When she reaches the bottom, she alertly looks 
around still clutching the athame in her hand.  CHRIS walks down the stairs and 
sits on the steps near the bottom.)

(The athame disappears from her grip.)

BIANCA:  We should be safe here until the museum closes.  (She sighs.)  Then, 
we'll go get the book.

(BIANCA turns to look at CHRIS.)  

BIANCA:  What's the matter?

CHRIS PERRY:  Nothing.  It's just ... sometimes I forget who you really are.

(Her entire demeanor softens.  For him.)  

BIANCA:  Hey. Come here.  

(She grabs his hand and pulls him to his feet.  They stand there looking at each 
other.)  

BIANCA:  You mean who I used to be, Chris, before I met you.

CHRIS PERRY:  So ... what do we do now?

(She looks at him thoughtfully.)  

BIANCA:  Hmm.  We say good-bye.

(She unsnaps her shirt and takes it off.  CHRIS leans forward and they kiss.)

(Camera's focus follows BIANCA'S hand as drops her shirt to the floor.)

CUT TO:



[INT. CONDO - DAY -- PRESENT]  

(A vase shatters on the wooden floors.  BIANCA efficiently walks across the 
ransacked room to the armoire in the corner.  She opens it and starts removing 
things from the shelves, tossing them to the floor.  She's looking for 
something.)  

(Behind her, LYNN shimmers into the room.)

LYNN:  Who are you, and what do you want?

(BIANCA glances behind her.)

BIANCA:  Where's the Grimoire?

(LYNN holds up her hand and powers up an energy ball.)

LYNN:  One more time.  Who are you?

(Not wanting to waste the time, BIANCA turns around.)

BIANCA:  Who do you think I am?  

(She holds up her left wrist to show LYNN the phoenix birthmark.)

BIANCA:  Mother.

(The energy ball dissipates.)

LYNN:  Bianca?

BIANCA:  In the flesh.  Now, where's the Grimoire?  I have to get The Charmed 
Ones off my tail fast.  I need a spell to do it.

(BIANCA turns back to searching through the armoire.)

LYNN:  I don't understand.  How is this possible?

BIANCA:  Look, I don't have time for reunions, ok?  And I'm not about to make 
the same mistake a thousand other demons have made now where's the damn book?!

(LYNN flicks her wrist and a small journal-sized book appears on the corner of 
the coffee table.)

BIANCA:  Thanks.

(BIANCA picks it up and starts rummaging through it.)

BIANCA:  Do you know where The Inhibition Spell is?

LYNN:  How is that gonna help?

BIANCA:  Look, I know The Charmed Ones.  I've studied their history.  This is 
when they all want their separate lives.  If I can release their inhibitions, 
maybe I can get them to pursue them.

LYNN:  The spell won't last long.

BIANCA:  It doesn't have to.  Just long enough to distract them so I can get 
what I came for.  (She finds it and tears the page out of the book.)  Got it.  
(bluntly)  Thanks.

(BIANCA puts the book down intending to leave.  LYNN stops her.)

LYNN:  Wait.  I -- do you have to leave so soon?  Can't I help?

(BIANCA turns to look coldly at her mother.)

BIANCA:  Yeah.  Someday when I ask you what it feels like to kill ... don't lie 
to me.  Don't tell me you don't feel a thing.

(BIANCA turns and walks away, shimmering out of the room as she leaves.)

CUT TO:



[INT. MANOR - LIVING ROOM -- DAY]  

(LEO dabs a damp cloth across CHRIS' forehead.  He doesn't look good.)  

LEO:  Hang on there, buddy.

(The girls return.)

PIPER:  We found Bianca.  She's at her mother's.

LEO:  Little Bianca?

PIPER:  No, the one we want.  Here.  Something for Chris to remember her by.  Or 
not.

(PIPER hands the engagement ring back to LEO.  He looks at it for a long moment 
then slowly puts it on the side.)

PAIGE:  Got the vanquishing potion, so after we orb over there, I'm gonna ...

(The spell washes over them casting an eerie glow on them.  Even though his back 
is to them, LEO'S listening.  When PAIGE doesn't continue, LEO turns around and 
prompts her.)  

LEO:  You're gonna ... what?

PAIGE:  I'm gonna move into Richard's house.

PIPER:  Are you?  Good for you.

PHOEBE:  That's a great idea.  And I think I'm gonna go check out what's going 
on in Hong Kong.

PAIGE:  Cool.

(LEO doesn't like the sudden turn around.  Alarmed, he gets to his feet.)  

LEO:  Wait.  Hang on a second.  This isn't you guys.  You must be under some 
kind of spell.  You have to fight this.

PHOEBE:  How can you fight your heart?

PIPER:  Or your hormones?

PAIGE: Yeah.

PHOEBE:  (to PAIGE)  Will you drop me off on the way to Richard's?

PAIGE:  I would love to.

LEO:  Paige, Phoebe, listen to me.

PHOEBE:  [Speaks chinese]  Zay jen

(PHOEBE smiles.)  

LEO:  Wait.

(They both orb out of the room.  PIPER nods a "so there" to LEO, then turns and 
walks out of the room.)

(LEO looks down at CHRIS when he groans.)

CHRIS PERRY:  (mumbles)  What do I tell them?

WHITE FLASH TO:



[INT. MANOR - ATTIC - NIGHT -- FUTURE]  

(The attic door opens slowly.  BIANCA peers inside to make sure it's safe.)  

BIANCA:  Don't tell them anything.  

(Like the other rooms in the manor/museum, the attic is cleared and roped off.  
BIANCA walks into the attic followed closely behind by CHRIS.)

BIANCA:  Just stick to your cover story.  The less they know about the future, 
the better.

CHRIS PERRY:  Well, what if they find out who I really am?

(BIANCA opens the rope and walks into the restricted area.)

BIANCA:  They won't ... not as long as you can pass yourself off as their 
Whitelighter.

CHRIS PERRY:  And you're sure I won't lose my powers when I go back?

BIANCA:  Yeah, not with this spell.  That's why we need it.  Look, just 
remember:  Protect baby Wyatt, and you protect The Charmed Ones.  Keep them 
alive for our future.

CHRIS PERRY:  Great.  No pressure there.

(CHRIS steps forward toward BIANCA, the loose floorboard creaking under his 
feet.)

BIANCA:  Chris, you know you're the only one who can do this.  You're the only 
one who can save us.

CHRIS PERRY:   If I make it back.

BIANCA:  Baby, you have to make it back ... (smiling softly at him)  ... if you 
want to marry me.

(They kiss.)

CHRIS PERRY:  You really know how to motivate a guy, you know that?

(BIANCA laughs.)

(They both walk over to the Book of Shadows - the holographic display version of 
the book.  She passes her hand clear through the image.)

BIANCA:  Sure you can summon the real book?

CHRIS PERRY:  Yeah.

BIANCA:  Away from him?

CHRIS PERRY:  Yeah.  But we won't have much time once it gets here.  His demons 
will be all over us.

BIANCA:  We won't need much time.  Just long enough to send you back to them.  

(BIANCA digs into her pocket and walks over to the far attic wall.  Using a 
thick piece of white chalk, BIANCA starts to draw the triquetra on the wooden 
boards.)

CHRIS:  (v.o.)  Hurry ... 

WHITE FLASH TO:



[INT. MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY - PRESENT]

CHRIS PERRY:  (mumbling)  ... before he finds us.

(CHRIS is still caught in his delirium on the couch.  LEO paces the floor.)  

LEO:  (upward)  Paige?  Phoebe?  Get back here right now!  That's an order!

(PIPER walks down the stairs dressed to go out.)  

PIPER:  (instructing)  Wyatt's sleeping, and the monitor is in the kitchen.

(LEO rushes toward PIPER.)

LEO:  Ok, Piper, but you can't go anywhere.  What about Chris?

PIPER:  (smiling)  Wish me luck!

(PIPER walks out of the house.  LEO sighs, then heads back to check on CHRIS.  
As soon as he walks into the room, BIANCA kicks LEO in the face.  He falls to 
the floor hard.)  

(BIANCA smiles with satisfaction.  She sits on the edge of the couch and leans 
over CHRIS' unconscious form.)  

BIANCA:  Come on.  We're going home.

(She puts a hand on his chest and shimmers them both out of the room.)  

FADE OUT

(COMMERCIAL SET)



FADE IN.

[INT. FIRE HOUSE - GARAGE]  

(Open on the inside of the fire house.  Everything is quiet except for the soft 
sounds of two people kissing.  The camera moves around the ambulance parked in 
the garage and heads slowly toward the fire engine next to it.  The camera rises 
to show PIPER and GREG kissing and lying under the blankets on top of the fire 
engine, clothes strewn all over the engine roof top.)  

GREG:  Wait.  Hold it.

(GREG pulls away a bit.)

PIPER:  Why?

GREG:  Because I just want to make sure that you're sure about this.

PIPER:  What's the matter?  Am I not acting sure?

GREG:  Yeah, it's just that ... well, you've been a little reluctant until now, 
and I guess I'm just curious why the change?

PIPER:  (thinking)  Um ... who knows?  Who cares?  All I know is I want ...

CUE SOUND:  ORBING

(PIPER hears it, turns her head and sees LEO standing ... floating between the 
two vehicles.)

PIPER:  Oh, my god!  

(LEO looks sheepishly at PIPER waiting for the inevitable blow-up.  She doesn't 
disappoint.  PIPER quickly freezes GREG before he sees LEO and she surges to her 
feet, wrapping the blanket around her, simply livid at seeing LEO there.)

PIPER:  What-what -- are you out of your mind?!  What are you?  A peeping Elder 
now?

(LEO doesn't say anything.  He throws the vial at PIPER'S feet.  The vial breaks 
and a blue-white glow washes over PIPER counteracting the Inhibition Spell.)

(The spell undone, PIPER looks around, confused.)

PIPER:  What's going on?  What am I doing here?  (looks at LEO)  Um ... what are 
YOU doing here?

LEO:  Counteracting a spell that Bianca apparently cast on you.

PIPER:  What kind of spell?

LEO:  One that lowers your inhibitions.

(PIPER turns around and glances down only to see GREG, naked under the blanket.  
She turns and looks at LEO.)

PIPER:  (embarrassed beyond belief)  Oh-h-h-h, boy!

LEO:  (smiles)  Yeah. Yeah.

PIPER:  Well, so did she get Chris?

LEO:  Yeah, and I'm hoping that if we can break the spell on Phoebe and Paige, 
we might be able to get Chris back, so ...

(LEO glances aside.)

PIPER:  Right.  Uh-huh.  Ok, so let's go.

(LEO glances at PIPER, his eyes wide with amusement and humour.  PIPER points to 
him, her arms motioning for him to turn around.)

PIPER:  Um ... you need to turn around, 'cause you don't get to see anymore.

(LEO chuckles and complies.)

(Camera holds on PIPER, hurrying LEO to turn around so she can get dressed.)

CUT TO:



[INT. RICHARD'S RESIDENCE - BEDROOM -- NIGHT]  

(PAIGE and RICHARD are in bed, under the blankets and very, very, very occupied.  
PIPER and LEO orb in.)  

PIPER:  Hi.  How's it going?

PAIGE:  What are you doing here?

(PIPER looks around the room at PAIGE'S clothes and picks something up.)

PIPER:  Moving you back home.  (to LEO)  Hit her.  

(LEO throws the potion at the headboard above PAIGE, the vial breaking upon 
contact.  A blue-white glow counteracts the Inhibition Spell on PAIGE.  She 
looks confused.)

PIPER:  No time to explain.  Come on.  We gotta get Phoebe, or we're never gonna 
get Chris.

(PIPER tosses PAIGE'S bra to her.)

CUT TO:



[INT. CONDO -- NIGHT]  

(Back at her mother's condo, BIANCA works on CHRIS.)  

BIANCA:  (quietly)  Just let me finish what I started.  You'll feel better soon.  
I promise.  

(Camera pulls back and we see that CHRIS is flat on his back on the couch while 
BIANCA has her hand in his chest finishing what she started.)

BIANCA:  That's it.  Easy does it.  

(When she's done, BIANCA removes her hand and the wound seals.  CHRIS' eyes 
open.)

BIANCA:  (instructing)  Slow breaths.

(He looks at her.)

CHRIS PERRY:  What'd you do to me?

BIANCA:  I just saved your life.

CHRIS PERRY:  By taking away my powers?  

(Instead of answering, BIANCA picks up the piece of chalk, walks over to the 
wall and removes the picture.  CHRIS sits up.  She tosses the picture on the 
side clearing the wall to draw the portal.)

CHRIS PERRY:  How are you gonna bring me back, anyway?  That spell's a one-way 
door.  It only goes backwards in time.

(BIANCA starts drawing the triquetra on the wall.)

BIANCA:  He created a new spell because of you.  One that works both ways.

CHRIS PERRY:  I'm touched.

BIANCA:  You should be.  He's gone to a lot of trouble to get you back.

CHRIS PERRY:  Yeah. I see that.

BIANCA:  You know, you don't have to believe me, Chris, but this really is for 
the best.

CHRIS PERRY:  Oh, really? How's that?

BIANCA:  Because this is your only chance to live.  If I fail, he'll just keep 
sending more assassins back, and all they'll have to bring home is a body.

CHRIS PERRY:  Doesn't matter.  

(CHRIS reaches into his pocket.)

CHRIS PERRY:  There's nothing left in the future anymore anyway.

(He tosses the engagement ring on the coffee table between them.  BIANCA stares 
at the ring, hurt more than anything by that simple action.  She lifts her 
hardened eyes and looks at CHRIS who settles back on the couch.  Regardless, 
BIANCA heads back to the wall to finish what she started.)  

WHITE FLASH TO:



[INT. MANOR - ATTIC - NIGHT -- FUTURE]  

(BIANCA finishes drawing the triquetra on the attic wall.  She turns around and 
sighs.)  

BIANCA:  It's time.

(CHRIS looks at BIANCA and walks straight for her.)

CHRIS PERRY:  I don't want to go.  I don't want to leave you.

(BIANCA removes her engagement ring and places it firmly in the middle of CHRIS' 
palm.)  

BIANCA:  Here.  

(She folds his fingers over the ring.)

BIANCA:  This'll remind you of why we're doing this, of what's waiting for you 
here.

(This is hard for both of them.  They move toward each other.  BIANCA wraps her 
arms around CHRIS' waist just as he holds her to him, their eyes closed.  
They're desperately running out of time.)

CHRIS PERRY:  You just make sure you take care of the guards, ok?  

(He pulls away just enough so he can look at her.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Then get out of here.  Because if he finds you, if he knows you 
betrayed him ... he'll kill you.

BIANCA:  Don't worry.  Come on.  I can take care of myself.

(CHRIS nods.  He leans forward and gently rests his forehead against hers.  
After a moment, CHRIS moves away to take his place in front of the holographic 
Book of Shadows.)

(He exhales and pulls a piece of paper out of his pocket.  It's the 
incantation.)

CHRIS PERRY:  
     I call upon the ancient power to help us in this darkest hour.
     Let the Book return to this place, claim refuge in its rightful space."

(They both look up ... and wait.)

(It only takes a moment before the real Book of Shadows falls from above onto 
its rightful place on the stand.)

CHRIS PERRY:  (amazed)  It worked.

BIANCA:  The spell!  Find the spell.

(CHRIS opens the Book and starts turning pages rapidly looking for the spell.  
He finds it and starts the spell.)

CHRIS PERRY:  
     Hear these words.  Hear the rhyme.
     Heed the hope within my mind.
     Send me back to where I'll find
     What I wish in place and time."

(CHRIS and BIANCA'S eyes meet for a moment.  Then, the chalk-drawn triquetra on 
the attic wall flashes and glows white as the time portal opens.)

(CHRIS and BIANCA turn and look at each other.  CHRIS walks toward the portal 
while BIANCA remains behind.  As he stands in the cusp of the doorway, CHRIS 
turns to look at her.)

(A DEMON shimmers in behind her and grabs her.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Bianca!

(BIANCA grabs the DEMON'S arm, turns and twists.  She kicks the DEMON and knocks 
him down.  He falls to the floor with a thud.  BIANCA looks at CHRIS.)

BIANCA:  (yells)  Go!  Go!

(The DEMON knocks BIANCA'S feet out from under her, then stands to stomp on her.  
BIANCA pulls the DEMON down to the floor.)

(As they fight, CHRIS turns and walks in to the portal -- to the past -- leaving 
everything he loves behind so that he can save the future.)

(The portal door closes behind him.)

CUT TO:



[INT. CONDO - DAY -- PRESENT]  

(On CHRIS.)  

CHRIS PERRY:  You really expect me to jump into this thing like before?

BIANCA:  Not without a fight, no.

(CHRIS sighs and steps away from her.  He takes a few steps toward the window, 
then turns to look accusingly at BIANCA.)

CHRIS PERRY:  How can you be so cold?  How can you just stand there and pretend 
like we never meant anything to each other?

BIANCA:  I don't have a choice.

CHRIS PERRY:  Bianca ... please don't do this.  Don't give up on everything that 
we fought for.

(For a brief moment, her cold demeanor slips.)

BIANCA:  (quietly)  I'm not.  I'm just hoping we can find another way.  (She 
looks away, then when she looks back at CHRIS, she's all business again.)  Um 
... ready?

(Resigned, CHRIS says nothing.)  

(BIANCA turns to the wall.)

(Just then, The Charmed Ones orb into the room.)

PIPER:  Hey! Future girl.

(BIANCA turns around.  PIPER throws the vial at her.  The athame appears in 
BIANCA'S hand, she hurls it toward PIPER and shimmers out in one smooth move.  
The athame breaks the vial mid-air on its path to PIPER.)  

(PIPER waves her hand and freezes the athame just as BIANCA shimmers in front of 
PIPER.  She picks the athame out of the air, turns around and holds it against 
PIPER'S neck.)  

PIPER:  (surprised)  Oh!

BIANCA:  You were saying?

PHOEBE:  (impressed)  Wow. She is good.

(PAIGE takes a step forward; PIPER stops her.)

PIPER:  Ah ah!

BIANCA:  I can kill her in half the time it takes you to even think about it.

PAIGE:  Yeah, well, we still have enough potion to vanquish you.

BIANCA:  Maybe.  But then you really will have to hope the Power of Two will do, 
won't you, Paige?  Oh, you'd be surprised what's in the history books.  Now, put 
the vials down slowly.

(PAIGE and PHOEBE put the vials down on the floor.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Bianca, don't.  Let her go, and I promise I'll go with you.

PAIGE:  Chris, what are you doing?

CHRIS PERRY:  If you kill her, there won't be a future for either one of us to 
go back to, and you know it.

PHOEBE:  What are you talking about?

BIANCA:  You'll see if you live long enough.

(BIANCA lets PIPER go.  She steps back toward the wall.)

PAIGE:  Piper, freeze them.

(PIPER freezes the room.  BIANCA turns around.)

PIPER:  Aah!  Ok, I get why she didn't freeze, but why didn't he freeze?

(Oh, yeah.  CHRIS isn't frozen at all.  He turns to look at them.)

PHOEBE:  Un-unless he's--he's a--

CHRIS PERRY:  I'm a witch, too?  

(PAIGE'S jaw drops.)

CHRIS PERRY:  That's right.  Part witch, part whitelighter.  Just like you, 
Paige.

PAIGE:  You lied to us?

CHRIS PERRY:  I had to.  It was the only way I could get you to trust me.

PHOEBE:  Trust you?!

CHRIS PERRY:  Never mind.  It doesn't matter anyway.

PIPER:  So that's it?  You're just gonna leave?

CHRIS PERRY:  I don't have a choice.  She's stripped my powers.  

(PIPER doesn't say anything to that.  CHRIS looks at PIPER.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Looks like Leo's gonna have to fix that floorboard without me.

(PIPER looks at CHRIS.  PAIGE and PHOEBE also notice the cryptic response.  
CHRIS casually turns to BIANCA.)  

CHRIS PERRY:  Let's go.

(With a wave of her hand, the portal opens.  They turn to walk through the 
portal.  CHRIS takes BIANCA'S hand, then turns to look back at The Charmed Ones.  
They walk into the portal.)

(PIPER, PHOEBE and PAIGE watch as the portal closes behind CHRIS.)

CUT TO:



[INT. MANOR - ATTIC - NIGHT -- FUTURE]  

(The portal in the attic opens.  BIANCA and CHRIS walk out of the portal only to 
be greeted by a half dozen demons waiting for them.)  

VOICE:  (o.s.)  Welcome home, Chris.

(The DEMONS step away to reveal a young man standing in the shadows at the back 
of the attic.  The Young Man steps forward into the light.  He looks at CHRIS -- 
cold, confident and radiating dark power.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Hello, Wyatt.

(The two men glare at each other neither one backing down from the other.)

FADE OUT

(COMMERCIAL SET)



FADE IN.

[INT. MANOR - ATTIC -- PRESENT]  

(PHOEBE and PAIGE stand in front of the Book of Shadows flipping pages, 
searching for something-anything to help.  LEO paces the attic floor while PIPER 
sits in the chair thinking.)  

PHOEBE:  There's gotta be a spell in here somewhere.

PAIGE:  To take us to the future?  I don't think so.

PHOEBE:  Well, Bianca's a witch.  She could do it.

PAIGE:  How could she do it?  We don't know how.

(PIPER looks at LEO.)

PIPER:  How did we do it five years ago?

LEO:  The Elders made that happen, remember?

PIPER:  Well, you're an Elder.  Make it happen.

LEO:  That was a unique situation.

PAIGE:  (incredulous)  And this isn't?

LEO:  Hey, I don't like this either.  Don't you think I want to save him, too?

(The floorboards squeak as he paces.)

PHOEBE:  I don't know if I want to save him or kick his ass.

LEO:  It still doesn't change all the good he's done.

PAIGE:  Hmm.  You're certainly singing a different tune.  You've come a long 
way, baby.

LEO:  Ok, despite all his secrets, I still believe that he came back to protect 
Wyatt, and that is enough for me to want to save him.

(LEO paces again and the floorboard squeak.)

PIPER:  The question is:  How?

(LEO paces the floor trying to think of a way, when the floorboard squeak again.  
This time, PIPER notices.)

PIPER:  Leo.

(LEO turns around and steps on the squeaky floorboard again.  This time PHOEBE 
and PAIGE notice.)

LEO:  What?

PHOEBE:  "Fix the floorboard".

PAIGE:  Maybe he was trying to tell us something.

LEO:  Who?  What?

(LEO tries to keep up with the conversation, but as usual, he's learned to just 
lets it run its natural course.)

PIPER:  Maybe.  Maybe that's where Bianca was taking him ... to the attic in the 
future.

PHOEBE:  But that would still be there in the future, wouldn't it?

PAIGE:  Yeah, unless we fixed it.

PIPER:  Or USED it to send him something ... something that he needed.

PHOEBE:  Like what?

PAIGE:  (realizes)  His powers.

(PIPER looks down at the attic floor.)

CUT TO:



[INT. MANOR - ATTIC - NIGHT - FUTURE]

(WYATT walks across the attic and steps on the squeaky floorboard.  He walks 
directly toward CHRIS and BIANCA.)  

WYATT:  (to his demons)  They're no threat to me.

(The DEMONS shimmer out of the room.)  

WYATT:  Et tu, Chris?  

(WYATT turns around and walks to the back of the attic.)

WYATT:  Of all the people to betray me.

CHRIS PERRY:  I didn't go back to betray you, Wyatt.  I went back to save you.

(WYATT looks at CHRIS.)

WYATT:  (mocking)  Save me?  Ha.  From what?

CHRIS PERRY:  From whatever evil it was that turned you.

WYATT:  That's always been your problem, Chris.  Stuck in the old good-versus-
evil morass.  I'm so past that.  It's all about power.  It's as simple as that.  

CHRIS PERRY:  And whoever has the most power wins.  Is that it?

WYATT:  That's it.  That's why I keep this museum intact.  To remind everyone 
the power from which I was born and that which I possess.

(CHRIS steps forward toward WYATT.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Too bad the rest of the city isn't faring as well as your little 
shrine here.

(WYATT steps forward toward CHRIS.)

WYATT:  You know, if anyone else tried what you tried, I'd kill them on the 
spot.  But you ...  (His gaze shifts to CHRIS' side.)  I've forgiven Bianca.  I 
can forgive you, too, if you promise never to cross me again.

CHRIS PERRY:  I think you know me better than that.

WYATT:  (to BIANCA)  I thought you said you could talk some sense into him.

(BIANCA steps forward toward the two men.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Leave her out of this.

(WYATT raises his hand and slowly makes a fist, cutting off CHRIS' air supply.  
CHRIS starts to choke.  BIANCA gasps and glares angrily at WYATT.  CHRIS slowly 
sinks to his knees, both hands clutching his throat as he gasps for air.)  

WYATT:  Pardon me?

(CHRIS chokes.  With a slice of his hand, WYATT tosses CHRIS aside and into the 
wall.)  

BIANCA:  Chris!

(CHRIS hits the cabinet hard, breaking it.  He yells out in pain.)

CUT TO:



[INT. MANOR - ATTIC -- PRESENT]  

(Open on the spell that PAIGE rushes to write.)  

PHOEBE:  Hurry!  Hurry!  Hurry!

PAIGE:  I'm trying.  I'm trying.  Here.

(Done, she rips the paper off the pad and hands it to PHOEBE who rolls it.)

PHOEBE:  Ok.  Here you go.

(She hands the rolled paper to PIPER who puts a rubber band around it.  LEO 
lifts the floorboard high enough for her to toss the spell inside.)

LEO:  Got it.
PIPER:  Quick. Put it back.

(LEO snaps the floorboard back into place and covers it with the carpet.  Now 
all they can do is wait ... and hope.  The rest is up to CHRIS.)

CUT TO:



[INT. MANOR - ATTIC - NIGHT -- FUTURE]  

(CHRIS crashes into the table in the attic.  Without his powers, he's just 
vulnerable to do anything, but take the beating.)  

(BIANCA angrily walks up to WYATT.)

BIANCA:  You promised you wouldn't hurt him!

WYATT:  And you promised you'd turn him, just like I turned you.  At least, I 
thought I had.  

(BIANCA runs to help CHRIS.  She falls to her knees in front of him, tears 
running down her cheeks.)

BIANCA:  (whispers)  Chris ... please.  I didn't bring you here to die.

(CHRIS glances to the side.)

CHRIS PERRY:  (typically)  Don't worry.  I know what I'm doing.  

(He looks at WYATT and at the floorboards on which he stands.  As he shifts his 
weight, the floorboard creak under his feet.)

CHRIS PERRY:  I think.

(CHRIS gets to his feet, lets out a raging war cry and runs to tackle WYATT.  
WYATT easily tosses CHRIS into the tables on the side.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Aah!

WYATT:  Have you lost your mind?

(CHRIS looks up at WYATT.)

(Play time is over.  WYATT raises his hand slowly lifting CHRIS telekinetically 
up off the floor toward the ceiling and choking him at the same time.)

WYATT:  I don't ... need you.

(In his other hand, WYATT powers up an energy ball.)

(Unable to bear it any longer, BIANCA gets to her feet and attacks WYATT from 
behind, her hand sinking deep into his back, paralyzing him where he stands.  
WYATT freezes, releasing his hold on CHRIS.  CHRIS falls to the attic floor with 
a crash.)

BIANCA:  (gasping)  Whatever you're gonna do, do it fast.  I can't hold him for 
long.

(CHRIS gets to his feet and scrambles for the squeaky floorboard.  He pushes the 
carpet aside and lifts up the board.  Inside, as he knew it would be, is the 
spell.  He unfolds it, dust and dirt falling from the aged paper.)

CHRIS PERRY:  (reading)
     Power of witches rise, 
     come to me from across the skies.
     Return my magic, give me back
     all that was taken from the attack!

(CHRIS glows blueish-white as his power infuses back to him.  Witch's Power.  He 
takes a breath.)

(At that moment, WYATT frees himself from BIANCA'S hold.  Without turning 
around, he reverse kicks her sending her flying across the room toward the 
broken table.)

(CHRIS sees BIANCA impaled on the broken table leg and lashes out at WYATT.)

CHRIS:  No!

(The force of the blow sends WYATT crashing high up against the wall.  WYATT 
falls to the floor out cold for the time being.)

(BIANCA takes short panting breaths, her eyes on her wound.  CHRIS rushes to 
kneel by her side.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Bianca!  No. No. No. No.

BIANCA:  (smiles painfully)  Haven't we been here before?

CHRIS PERRY:  (sadly)  Maybe we will be again.

BIANCA:  (nods)  Maybe.

(CHRIS whimpers helplessly and rests his forehead on her shoulder.)

CHRIS PERRY:  No.

(BIANCA reaches for his hand and hands her engagement ring back to him – the one 
she removed from the coffee table in the past.  She takes a shuddering breath.)

BIANCA:  If you can finish what we started ... 

(Her message is clear.  CHRIS looks down at the ring in his hand.  They hear 
WYATT stirring.)

BIANCA:  Hurry.  

(CHRIS glances back to see WYATT moving.)

BIANCA:  (thinking, instructing)  Take the spell so he can't send anyone else.  

(CHRIS looks at BIANCA.)

BIANCA:  (urging)  Go!

(CHRIS runs to the Book of Shadows.  WYATT raises his head and sees CHRIS 
flipping through the Book.)

(WYATT slowly gets up.)

CHRIS PERRY:  
     Hear these words. Hear the rhyme.

(With deadly intent, WYATT pulls back his hand and powers up an energy ball.)

CHRIS PERRY:
     Heed the hope within my mind.

(WYATT hurls the energy ball at CHRIS who looks up, sees the attack and quickly 
ducks to the side.  The energy ball just misses him.)

CHRIS PERRY:  
     Send me back to where I'll find
     what I wish in place and time.

(The triquetra on the attic wall glows and the portal opens.  WYATT gets to his 
feet.)

(CHRIS grabs the spell from the book, tearing it out from the binding and with 
everything that he is, dives into the portal.)

WYATT:  No!

(WYATT throws another energy ball, but it's too late.  The portal closes and the 
energy ball hits the attic wall instead.)

(CHRIS is gone.)

CUT TO:



[EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR]

(Time passes.)



[INT. MANOR – ATTIC -- PRESENT]  

(The attic wall flashes and CHRIS flies out from the wall landing hard on the 
floor just behind LEO.)  

PIPER:  (surprised)  Whoa!

CHRIS PERRY:  Ow.

PAIGE:  Oh, my god. Are you ok?

(They all get to their feet and look down at CHRIS.)

CHRIS PERRY:  (muffled)  Yeah. I'm fine.  

(CHRIS also stands up.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Nice spell.

PHOEBE:  But we just put it in there, like, two seconds ago.

LEO:  Well, you see, the way time travel works --

PHOEBE:  (interrupts)  Yeah, I don't wanna know.  I already have a little 
headache, thanks.

PIPER:  You have some serious explaining to do, young man.

CHRIS PERRY:  I know.  Listen, I'm sorry I lied to you.  I really am, but--

PIPER:  No!  No "buts."  It's about time you tell us the truth. Now.

CHRIS PERRY:  I can't.  But not because I don't want to, but because there's 
only so much I can tell you without the future being changed too much.

PAIGE:  Um, isn't that your whole point?  To come and change the future?

CHRIS PERRY:  Yeah, but that was supposed to be more like a surgical strike.

LEO:  (adding)  To save Wyatt.

CHRIS PERRY:  (thinking about his WYATT, nodding)  To save Wyatt.

PHOEBE:  What about Bianca?

(CHRIS sighs sadly.  Though he doesn't say it, PHOEBE knows.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Bianca won't be a threat to anyone anymore.

PHOEBE:  I'm sorry.

(He nods.)

CHRIS PERRY:  Me, too.

(He looks at them all.)

CHRIS PERRY:  So you guys still all right with me hanging around here?

(LEO looks at the girls, then answers for all of them.)

LEO:  Absolutely.  

(CHRIS smiles, relieved.)

LEO:  But the next time you're in trouble, you've got to tell us.  Trust works 
both ways.

CHRIS PERRY:  (nods)  Ok.

(CHRIS turns and leaves the attic.  Camera moves from the Charmed Ones, to LEO.)

CUT TO:



[INT. MANOR - PIPER'S BEDROOM - NIGHT-CONTINUOUS]

(CHRIS walks past the bedroom door and sees WYATT in his playpen.  He leans 
casually on the door frame and stares at the little boy.)

CHRIS PERRY:  If I can't save you, I swear to god I'll stop you.

(And with that promise, CHRIS backs out of the bedroom.)

(Camera holds on WYATT looking innocent and as cute as can be.)

CUT TO:



[EXT. MANOR - NIGHT]



[INT. MANOR - DINING ROOM -- NIGHT]  

(PIPER walks into the dining room.  PHOEBE and PAIGE are already there waiting 
for her.)  

PAIGE:  Hey.
PIPER:  Hey.

PHOEBE:  What's going on?

(PIPER takes a seat at the head of the table between PHOEBE and PAIGE.)

PIPER:  Uh, well, I've been thinking.

PAIGE:  (groans)  Uh-oh.  Does that mean I'm in trouble?

PIPER:  I think it's time we make some changes around here.

(Not sure of what that means, PHOEBE takes a seat.)

PHOEBE:  What kind of changes?

PIPER:  Like I think you should move to Hong Kong with Jason, and you should 
move in with Richard.

PAIGE:  I never said I wanted that.

PIPER:  (shrugs)  You didn't have to.  The spell did that for you.  (she looks 
at PHOEBE)  And you, too.

(PAIGE and PHOEBE look at each other.)  

PHOEBE:  Well, we can't leave you alone.  We have to stick together.

PIPER:  No, I know.  Believe me, I know.  But you can't keep sacrificing your 
lives forever.  And neither can I.  Mom did that. Grams did it, and even Prue, 
and look what happened to them.  It's not a legacy I want us to inherit.

PAIGE:  What if it doesn't work out, us going our separate ways?

PIPER:  Well, we'll worry about it then.

PHOEBE:  You sure about this?

(beat)

PIPER:  Yeah. I am.

(PHOEBE reaches out and holds PIPER'S hand.)

(PAIGE reaches out and holds PIPER'S other hand.)

(Camera pulls back on a far shot of the three at the dining room table.)
