"Well, we haven't made much progress here either." "The whole Christy Ultimate Power thing has got me kind of stumped." "Piper, relax." "You sound so stressed, don't worry." "We'll figure it out." "You're, like, hyperventilating." "I'm not hyperventilating, I'm kneading dough, dodo." "You're kneading bread?" "Yeah, you are talking to a former chef, you know." "Don't act so surprised." "Look, sweetie, are you sure you're okay with this?" "Throwing Paige an engagement party without..." "Are you kidding?" "It's exactly what Leo would want us to do." "Besides, Paige deserves what Leo and I had." "And you will have that again as soon as we figure out what we're up against." "Well, until then, someone in this family is going to have a normal, happy wedding Engagement party and all." "Speaking of which, how's the Christy project going?" "Actually, it's going really well." "This morning, we mastered the art of walking in high heels." "And now we're just picking out an outfit." "Try that one." "Okay." "And we're gonna go for a little test run at a café, you know, see how it goes." "Great, because demons attacking at the party, I can handle." "But Christy eating with her hands, I cannot handle." "Don't worry, she will be totally, totally ready by tomorrow night." "Thank you." "What...?" "What happened?" "I suppose letting him escape half-alive was meant to send a message." "Yes, that it's suicide to go up against the Triad." "We can't afford to lose any more demons, Xar." "Well, there might be another way." "How about retreating deeper into the underworld?" "If the Triad gets the Ultimate Power, nowhere will be safe." "But we can't even get them out of Magic School now, let alone destroy them." "We're not strong enough to stop them." "No, but the Charmed Ones might be." "Perhaps we can get them to destroy the Triad for us." "What are you doing here?" "I thought you were going ring shopping with Henry." "Yeah, I was supposed to." "But I figured what with the key to the Ultimate Power over at Phoebe's," "I should take this time just to, you know, kind of check things out and..." "This is your wedding ring we're talking about." "I know." "I'm not getting married tomorrow, I've got some time." "But still, when a girl isn't the least bit giddy about ring shopping, that usually means something's very wrong." "You know, maybe I'm just not one of those kind of... wedding girls that goes crazy about the whole thing." "Did you ever think of that?" "I think you have a classic case of cold feet." "I don't have cold feet, because..." "Because I'm crazy for Henry." "I am." "Crazy for him, love him." "Okay, yeah, sure, I believe you, and I love Leo too, but that doesn't mean I didn't get knots in my stomach the moment I said yes." "You did?" "Really?" "It's perfectly normal." "Well, is it normal to fight about every little thing?" "Actually, yes." "Look, you just need to relax and spend a little time together, and talk it out, and, you know, listen." "That's always a good thing." "I could probably do some more listening than I've been doing." "You should kind of give it a try." "Okay, I will." "I will call him right after I'm done checking on some things." "You need to get your butt out of here." "Go, the demons will show up eventually." "They always do." "Good luck." "I'd rather die than spend eternity hiding out in some dingy cave, while the Triad luxuriates up at Magic School." "Their resurfacing after so long away opens old wounds." "They were wrong to have excommunicated you, Xar." "And it will be their downfall." " I have no doubt, still..." " I know their weakness, what they so desperately want." "To kill the Charmed Ones." "To shift the balance of power from good to evil." "And the fact they just took over Magic School tells me they're close." "All the more reason to stay away, I'd think." "But if the Charmed Ones knew the Triad was back, they'd want them vanquished as much as I do." "We just have to find a way to get them the message." "Or rather, you'll have to find a way." "Still, with all due respect, maybe we should wait." " See how things play out." " No!" "We need to take the Triad out now, before they get the Ultimate Power." "Okay, utensils." "Right." "Sorry." "No, it's okay, you're doing fine." "You know, honey, you have a little something everywhere." "That's fine." "You know, why don't we just stick to liquids?" "I'm a freak." "I'm never gonna get this." "Oh, no." "I mean, you were raised by demons for 15 years." "You can't expect to get all this in one week." "Just eat your salad." "Yeah, just relax." "Relax, concentrate." "Oh, my goodness." "Goodness." " Put that out." " Okay, okay." " Well..." " That is really bizarre." " Maybe this was a little premature." " Yeah, we need to leave now." " Okay, I'm gonna give you money." " Thank you." "I'm gonna go run some errands and I'll meet you at the house, okay?" "You're gonna get this, I promise." " Sorry." " That's okay, don't worry about it." "My fault." "Hey." " Hey, missy." " What?" " Hello?" " What?" "That guy was hot, he was checking you out." "What are you doing?" " He was?" "I didn't even see him." " I know, that's why I came over here." "Okay, let's just focus on Christy." "Otherwise, we're gonna have to deal with the wrath of Piper." "Nobody touch these, I don't want smudges." "And then we clink." "You need to wash those, I don't know if I ordered enough." "Why clink?" "I don't really know, it's just kind of a thing." "Okay, and now we sip." "That was really nice." "I should have told you what sip meant." "It's okay." "Don't use..." "Napkin, napkin." "At least there aren't any smudges." "That's all right." "I got it, I got it, I got it." "Yes, these, my friend, are salad tongs." "You kind of dig in there and pull a salad out." "Don't use your fingers." "I got it." "Those are the tables." "I got it." "What's this do?" "Okay, Rick, you can just put those on the..." "Piper Halliwell?" "Yes." "Is there a problem?" "We just wanted to make sure you're all right." "Can we come in?" "Why wouldn't I be all right?" "Have you noticed any suspicious activity lately around your home?" "What is this about exactly?" "We got word there might be an attempt on your life." "What?" "By who?" "You've come across them before." "Them?" "Who are you guys?" "Can someone please tell me if it is normal to argue with somebody about whether you should eat before or after you buy wedding bands?" "Hey, who are they?" "Look, this is a friendly visit." "We're just here to warn you that there are beings who you thought you dealt with but haven't." "Beings?" "Wait a second..." " They're demons." " The Triad's back, beware." " We gotta get you out of here." " Wait." "Sweet." "Did he just say "Triad"?" "I don't know, I didn't recognise them." " I just got a hit they were demons." " Gotta love that telepathy." "It's too bad your power just won't tell us what they want." "Well, they don't want Christy, thank God." "I think they were coming to tell us about the Triad." "Who are supposedly dead." "We thought Cole vanquished them years ago." " Are they dangerous?" " Very." "I'm not really understanding though." "Why would demons come to warn us about other demons?" " I should just go check the Book..." " No, I can do the research." "You need to talk to your fiancé." "We have enough firepower down here." " Don't say the F word." " Firepower?" " Go." " We should call the whole thing off." " This is crazy..." " Don't even think about it." "Listen, the party's on, dude." "Dude," " the house is a mess." " And what else is new?" "Okay?" "You two need to go hang out at Phoebe's until we know something." "Come on, I'll take you." "And then you need to go straight to Henry, because I ain't throwing you an engagement party if you ain't engaged." "Don't threaten me." " How could you fail?" " We didn't exactly." "We warned them about the Triad, we just didn't get a chance to elaborate." "Ciril was incinerated by a Charmed One." "No, by another witch." "The same one who knew that we were demons." "They seemed very protective of her." "Explain." "They risked themselves so she wouldn't get hurt, even though she didn't look like she needed much protection." "Interesting." "A strange, powerful witch appears in the Charmed Ones' lives, just as the Triad is close to achieving its goal." "I wonder if she's the one." "I don't follow." "When I was one of them, they spoke of going after the coming power." "The Ultimate Power." "And you think that might be her?" "If she is, we need to get her away from the Charmed Ones fast." "But then they'd come after us." "Not if they think the Triad took her." "Then they'd go after them." "Hey." "Oh, my God, I'm so sorry I'm late." " Oh, no, the store's closed." " Yeah." "Hey, don't worry though." "I got to watch another couple pick out their band, it was really beautiful." "I'm so sorry." "Right after we hung up, these demons attacked us and..." " Wait, demons?" "Are you okay?" " Yeah, we're fine." "They were, in their own special way, coming to warn us about this group called the Triad we thought were dead, but apparently aren't, which is freaking us out." "I'll explain more about that later." "Paige, if you have too much going on, if you can't deal with this wedding right now..." "No, of course I can deal with the wedding, and picking out bands, and, you know, dealing with toothpaste caps, and snoring, and..." "Snoring?" "It's nothing." "It didn't sound like nothing." "Well, every couple has their little quirks, their issues." "Issues?" "Are you talking about not nailing down the wedding date, or are you talking about not having a guest list?" "Okay, by "guest list," you're saying you're not really interested in just having a barefoot-on-the-beach wedding in Fiji?" "No, because I would like to lift a wedding veil, not a mosquito net, when I'm gonna kiss you." " Does every couple go through this?" " Hold on though." "I wanna go back to the small issue here of toothpaste." "Right, you don't put the cap back on." "Okay, well, you squeeze from the middle." "By the way, I am not wearing a veil." "How can you get married without wearing a veil?" "Well, if you want one so much, why don't you wear it?" "It's funny, I remember doing this to you when we were little." " Oh, really?" " Yeah." "Manicure, pedicure, the works." "We had fun playing dress-up." "I was a little young to remember, but I have to say," "I know you lived in a cave and it was terrible, but it did wonders for your complexion." "There you go." "Oh, sweetie, you look so beautiful." "She's a total babe." "You are a total knockout." "This isn't right." "Hey." "Hey, I saw you at the café earlier, didn't I?" "Yes, you did, which makes me wonder even more what you're doing in my house." "Oh, yeah, yeah." "Sorry about that." "I'm new here, must have gotten off on the wrong floor." "An understandable mistake." "Why did your key work?" "I don't know, that's a weird one." "I'll have to talk to the broker about that." "Anyway, ladies, I apologize." "Have a wonderful evening." "If you ever need anything, I live below you, so don't hesitate." "Even if it is just for a... cup of sugar or something." "Okay, blowing that hot guy off once, maybe." "But he just landed in your apartment and you let him leave?" "You have to admit, that's kind of suspicious." "I mean, you must have got some sort of vibe off him, did you?" " No, I thought he was cute." " Yeah." "Please, what do you know?" "You were raised by demons, for God's sakes." "All right, whatever." "Come on, let's go try this dress on." "Excuse me, I think I can dress myself by now." "Oh, well, that's progress." "A little snippy, but progress." "Christy?" "The Triad." "How did this happen?" "I mean, why couldn't I stop him?" "Because you just couldn't." "I couldn't either." " He was in there waiting for her." " And you're sure it was the Triad?" "Well, it's not the kind of robe you find at Nordstrom's, you know." "So I don't understand, the guys that kidnapped her 15 years ago were just front men?" "Well, it kind of makes sense, especially if she's the key to the power." "Which, if the Triad gets, we're screwed." "Well, who cares?" "All I care about is getting her back before they..." "They won't hurt her." "They need her." "We just need to get her back before they get whatever it is they're after." "I still don't understand why those demons warned us about them." "Well, they don't want the Triad taking over any more than we do." "They probably thought we would take them out." "You know, this might be the fight that the Angel of Destiny was talking about." " And if we win..." " We could get Leo back." "Okay, well, I'm gonna start by checking into that guy that broke into my apartment." " You really think he's part of this?" " Yes." "We're gonna get your sister back, Billie." "One way or another." "And Leo too." "She's the Ultimate Power?" "Doubtful, she was too easy to take." "More likely an unsuspecting conduit." "Still, as long as we have her, the Triad doesn't." "Do you really think the Charmed Ones will go after them instead of us?" " That's the plan." " But what if they don't?" "Then we're dead." "But that's still better than having to answer to the Triad." "Finally waking, are we?" "Care to tell us what you know about the Ultimate Power?" "Spunky." "But you'll talk, eventually." "I knew it." "Well, it took you long enough." "Well, love is never having to say you're sorry." "That's nice." "Very nice." "Okay..." "Well..." "You lie awake at night afraid that you may never find love again." "The best years of your life lost battling for the greater good, but at the cost of starting your own family." "That ought to do it." "You don't need to fight me." "I'm on your side." "Like hell you are." "Just sit down, okay?" "Listen, okay, you were just thinking how you lay awake at night, right?" "How you're afraid that you may never find love again?" "Well, that's not fair, really, I already know I'm right." " Who are you?" " Oh, I'm Cupid." "I'm one of them, anyway." "You can call me Coop." "That's just great, Coop." "But you know what?" "I don't have the time for this because I need to go find my sisters." "You always say that, and that is exactly why I'm here." "You always think that you never have time for love." "You know, that's why the Elders sent me." "They feel guilty, you know, about how everything got all messed up after they enlisted you." "So they sent me down to help you get things back on track." "Oh, okay." "Well, you know what?" "I don't need help finding true love." " Apparently, you do." " Excuse me?" "You didn't even notice me at the café." "Oh, well, you know what?" "I didn't notice you at the café, because you're..." "You are just not cute." "No, I'm cute, you're resistant." "Come on." "How are you gonna have that future child you were promised unless you find love first, right?" "That's still possible?" "Not only is it possible, it's destined." "We are gonna have to hurry." "But my star charts..." "All wonky." "I'm sorry, your math stinks." "Anyway, I'll show you about that later." "First, we're gonna heal your heart." "No, first, I need to go kill some demons, because if I don't, none of this is gonna matter, okay?" "You're resisting." "You know what, you can take that bow and arrow and shove it up your..." "And don't even try to freeze me, because I will vanquish you." "Well, this is gonna be tougher than I thought." "Hey, Henry, can you please do me a huge favour?" "I need you to call everybody on the list for our party and cancel." "Paige, we can't cancel on them." "It's tomorrow night." "Look, there might not be a tomorrow night for us, okay?" "I have to deal with the Triad." "The Triad?" "Right, the Triad." "You know, I just thought..." "I thought we were working on it." "I thought we were working on it too." "But sadly, they have come back." "Can you please just make the call?" "Okay." "Yes, ma'am." "Hey there, how's it going?" "Not good, there's no known way to vanquish them." "Well, that's really great news." "Do you think it's odd that they went after Christy and didn't even try to fight us?" "No, the Triad thinks she's the key to what they want." "And once they get it, we may be obsolete." "Power of the witches rise Course unseen across the skies" " Come to us who call you near..." " How long has she been doing that?" "Since we've been up here, and she's working on an enhancing potion to make the spell stronger." "Billie, the thing is if that spell hasn't worked by now, it's not gonna work." "I don't know what else to do." "I have to do something." "We're gonna get her back." "Okay?" "I'm gonna go scry." "Power of the witches rise Course unseen across the skies" "Come to us who call you near Come to us and settle here" "You have no idea who you're dealing with." "I may not know exactly who you are, but I know you have something the Triad's been wanting for a very long time." "And it brings me untold joy to think that I'll ruin their plan just as it's about to reach fruition." "Let me out of here!" "We're not going to get anything out of her." "No matter." "We just need to hold on to her until the battle between the Charmed Ones and the Triad is over." "Then we'll see who's left standing." "Now it's your turn." "Christy?" " What happened?" " It worked." "I was in a cage." "I got out, but then they came after me again." " And then I was here." " What did they want, did they say?" " I don't know." "I was scared." " Well, it's okay, you're safe now." "Well, the Triad is gonna figure out where she is sooner or later." "We need to stop them while we have a chance." "Okay, I'm gonna go get Phoebe." " Are you okay?" " Yeah, I just need to lie down." " Yeah, come on, let's go." " No, it's okay." "You stay here and help her." "I'll be fine." "Somebody's impersonating you." "What do you mean, impersonating us?" "How do you know?" "Will you keep your voice down." "I don't want them to find us together." "I always said this plan was taking too long." "We should attack the Charmed Ones while we're here." "No." "We don't have the power yet." "And we're not strong enough without it." "We don't know that." "Besides, someone's already exposed us." "Yes." "The real question is who?" "Who else?" "It has to be Xar." " Xar?" "Who's Xar?" " A demon who was once one of us." "But one whom we banished." "And one who's been looking to avenge that for decades." "He's the only one who knows our ways and our desires." "So, what, he's been sabotaging us?" "Undoubtedly, so he won't have to answer to us." "Xar would do anything to keep that from happening." "Well, he may have already succeeded." "The Charmed Ones are after you now." "Which means I may never get Billie back." "Yes, you will." "Just as we promised." "You're still the key, and you're still in perfect position." "You're her sister, Christy." "Soon you will show her the way." "If we can stop Xar from doing any more damage." "Hey, how'd it go?" "Is the hot guy a Triad?" " He's worse, he's a cupid." " A what?" "A cupid." "The Elders sent him down here to help me find true love." "How insulting is that?" "Well, maybe they figure they owe you." "Well, I wish they'd help with the Triads first because I have no idea how to vanquish them." " Well, what did Cole do?" " Well, I don't know." "He was a really powerful demon, probably just as powerful as they were." "You know what, Cole was my longest relationship." "Is that pathetic or what?" "Actually, you might be onto something." "Maybe we need a demon to vanquish them." "Are you kidding?" "Where are we gonna find one?" "Well, I don't think we need to if we just get the Triads to kill each other." "How do you propose we do that?" "I don't know, I'm making this up as I go." "Well, what if we don't get them all?" "I don't think we need to." "If we just kill one, then we weaken the collective." " Kind of like us." " Exactly." " It's still dicey." " Dicey's all we got." "We better do something fast or we're not gonna be able to save Christy." "Or Leo for that matter." "I mean, if the Triad really is the big threat..." "Then we're in for a huge battle." "Which means I need to get the kids out of here." "And I need to go see Henry." "No, no, no." "Wait, wait, wait." "Can't it wait?" "No, it can't." "Look, if something happens to me," "I don't want the last thing Henry remembers about us is arguing." "Well, we don't have a lot of time." "I need to do this." " Sorry." " Hurry." "How did you find me?" "The witch led us to you, Xar." "You should have killed her while you had the chance." "You know me better than that, Asmodeus." "I wanted to find out why you needed her." "You look tired, old friend." "The stress of so many years on the run, no doubt?" "Those days are behind us." "Perhaps." "But the days ahead are few, thanks to me." "You'll never save yourselves from the Charmed Ones." "That remains to be seen." "Does it?" "If you had the power to take them on, you would have done so by now." "You need more, but now it's too late." "Your hubris has always been your undoing, Xar." "Even in the end." "See you in the wasteland." "He's right." "The Charmed Ones will be coming for us." "And without the Power, we'll never be able to defeat them." "We don't know that." "Besides, we only have to take one out to weaken their power of three." "But that's our weakness too." "That's why we embarked on the plan all those years ago to use Christy." "Without the Power, we are too closely matched to ensure success." "We don't have a choice now, do we?" "It's kill or be killed now." "That's all I have on them right there." " Okay." " Yeah, see you." " Henry?" " Hey." " Hey." " What are you doing here?" " I need to talk to you." " Okay." " Can you come with me?" " Sure." "Wait, is there something wrong?" "Are you all right?" "I'm okay." "Well, no." "Not really." "I just really wanted to see you just in case." "Wait, wait, wait, Paige, what's wrong?" "We're going up against the Triad." "What does that mean?" "Well, it means if we win this battle, it'll be a very, very good thing." "And we can get Leo back, and everything will be super happy and perfect, and I won't even care if you leave the cap off the toothpaste." "What if you don't win?" "All right, I'm going with you." "We'll do it together." "I can't sit here and do nothing." "You can't, it has to be just the three of us." "All right, when you get back," "I'm gonna marry you as soon as I can, at the engagement party." "You were supposed to cancel that." "I guess I didn't." "Hey!" " You scared me." " I'm sorry." "So when are we gonna get started?" "Don't you have someone else's love life to meddle in?" "No, I'm all yours." "I mean, yeah, sure, normally, I've got 40, 50 jobs, but the Elders thought that you deserved to have me all to yourself." "Lucky me." "You know what?" "I'm just really busy right now." " And I have big issues to deal with..." " Yeah, I know, I know." "And you're gonna get through this." "And then we're gonna get to work." "Has anyone ever told you that you are a big pain in the butt?" "No, I'm a cupid." "Hey, good luck." "Anything?" "We think they're at Magic School." "We found a very high concentration of energy there." "That means we have to fight them there?" "Does it really matter where we fight them?" " Okay, let's go over the plan again." " Divide and conquer, that's the plan." " So I can draw out their power." " And I will freeze one of them." "They are upper-level demons, so they won't freeze for long." "They only have to stay frozen long enough for me to orb the last one into position." "You know, do you guys think I should go with you?" "I mean, my projection power could really help." "No, you have to stay here and protect your sister." "And you also have to call the Elders if we don't come back." "Ready?" "Nope, but let's do it anyway." "Whatever happens, we're gonna stick together." "Yeah, right, of course." "That's what sisters are for, right?" "Okay, how are we supposed to divide and conquer that?" "Maybe we should try and blast them while they're distracted." "I don't think it will even faze them." "I'll distract them." "Too late." " Phoebe?" " Yeah, go." " I've got her." " No, we're stronger together." "Hey." "Paige, now." "Hey, guy." "No!" "No!" "Looking for me?" " You okay?" " Yeah." " I can't believe we did it." " Well, two out of three." "Well, that's all we needed, right?" "That means we won." "Well, if we won, where's Leo?" "I mean, he should be here." " I don't understand what went wrong." " Maybe nothing." "Maybe there's a bigger threat out there." "I don't understand, what could possibly be a bigger threat than the Triad?" "Is everything okay?" "Well, yeah, we got the Triad, but we do think that there's a bigger threat out there." "Did they say that?" "No, they didn't have to." "Leo would be here." "I'm so sorry, Piper." "You know, you're gonna get Leo back." "Well, in the meantime, we have an engagement to celebrate." "Oh, well," "I've been thinking about that actually." "And I will do it on one condition." "If we can just turn it into a wedding instead." "What are we supposed to do now?" "We stay the course." "But how, without the others?" "It was never about us." "It was always about you." "We've taught you all we know." "Shown you the way." "Now you must go forward alone to fulfil your destiny." "To unite with the Ultimate Power." "Billie." "This isn't the course either one of us wanted to take." "But we don't have a choice now." "The end result is all that matters." "You must save your sister." "Well, absolutely." "Although it is kind of short notice." "I might need some magical assistance." "Let's do it." " Christy, what's wrong?" " Oh, nothing." "I'm fine." "Are you nervous?" "Surprisingly, no." "You're not ready." "I am just kind of stunned this is happening." "Well, believe it." "Sure you don't wanna wear my dress?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I am." "All right, let's go conjure you a very special dress." "Hey, Wyatt, how are you?" "What are you...?" "Hey, what are you doing?" "You want cake, don't you?" "I want cake too." "Go ahead, you can have that, let me get my own." " Is it good?" " Yeah." "All right." "Here, take another one real quick." "Quick, before anyone sees you." "Yeah." "Right, let's go before anyone sees." "Hi, everybody." "Here you go." "Stand right over there." "Here you go, buddy." "So how do you feel?" "Like I'm ready to take on the world." "I wish Leo was here." "He is." "Oh, sorry." "How's it going?" "Did someone invite you here?" "What, are you kidding me?" "I love weddings." "You look beautiful." "And you look very handsome." "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Henry and Paige in holy matrimony, in the presence of family and friends." "The union of two lives as one is a sacred bond both solemn and joyful, embracing all that you are and all that you will be." "On this day of your marriage, know that everything we love deeply becomes part of us." "The trick is learning to receive this love with as much understanding as you give it." "And knowing this, you can begin a life together with an open mind and heart." "And I vow to honour, to love, and to cherish you each and every day." "Through all the seasons of life, the good times, the bad times." "I vow to cherish you each and every day." " I do." " I do." "You may now kiss the bride." "Congratulations."
