"Help!" "Somebody Help!" "Please?" "All right, All right, relax." "I'm back." "What is this?" "How's his rash?" "Does he need ointment?" "I don't know." "I've been kind of procrastinating on that one." "It's not my favorite thing to check." "Why?" "You don't have a problem checking Watt." "Yeah." "That's 'cause I don't flash forward to wyatt being 22 like I do with Chris." "Oh." "Yeah." "Eww." "Exactly." "Stinky diaper." "Hey, hey!" "Are you using magic?" "Yeah." "Wait till you see how I put the ointment on." "Hi!" "Personal gain." "Do you want to lose your powers like phoebe did?" "What if a demon attacks?" "Could liven things up around here." "Excuse me?" "I'm just kidding. sort of." "Look, I love being a stay-at-home auntie." "I really, really do." "I just..." "I'm going crazy." "I have to get out." "You know, it wouldn't hurt you to get out a little bit, too." "I mean, you've been cooped up in here ever since..." "You know, it's ok to talk about it, piper." "Won't hurt you." "It could even help." "Talk about what?" "gideon's gone." "Chris and wyatt are safe." "It all worked out." "Oh, coffee, coffee, coffee." "I cannot believe how late for work I am, again." "Morning to you, too." "And if you guys could be dressed for the wedding, then when I come back," "I'll just honk and you guys can meet me outside, ok?" "Wait!" "what?" "!" "wait!" "what wedding?" "wedding?" "christy's." "Piper, don't tell me you forgot." "Christy's wedding. that's today?" "Hmm, well i can't go. the kids... actually, the kids were invited, too, so you can go." "I think it would be good for them." "I think it would be good for all of us." "No. i can't go. the baby..." "Needs to be exposed to a germ or two." "Get out of the house, you know, build up his immune system." "He's too young." "Piper, he's 2 months old." "I know how old he is, thank you." "Look, you can't protect them from the big, bad world forever." "They are going to have to leave the house at some point." "By the way, how's leo doing?" "Well, considering who betrayed him,he's doing as well as can be expected." "I know you're here, barbas." "You can't keep running from me." "You're afraid that vanquishing me won't ease your pain." "Because it wasn't a demon, it was an elder." "Your very mentor who tried to kill your son." "But you helped him." "that's why i'm going to kill you, too." "Barbas!" "Zola?" "Leo. good. i've been calling for you." "What do you mean?" "where's barbas?" " Who?" " he's covering up for me." "Oh, you know he is. you tracked me here." "What's...what's the matter?" "are you all right?" "One of your greatest fears." "You know, the good guys, bad guys ...psst... they're all the same now." "Hey. that makes him just like gideon." "Leo, what are you doing?" "!" "Where is he?" "!" "where's barbas?" "!" "I don't know!" " Tell me!" " i don't know!" "For god's sake, stop!" "Damn. so close!" "Synchro by Greatouille." "Corrections by Guix, Launka, Chryssie, Lucile76, Ronanasplit, Demon clem." "Season 7 Episode 1 "A Call to Arms"" "Hey, have you seen piper?" "Up in wyatt's room." "Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. were you sleeping?" "Why start now?" "No, I was actually just trying to take a little break from nanny duties." "Yeah, you are such a doll to help out like you've been." "I wish i could help you, but I can't." "I have to work." "Tell me what it's like out there in the world where men don't poop or spit on you." "You really do need to get out, huh?" "You know, maybe we can just swap jobs for the day." "You know, I'll..." "I'll pay you." "Yeah?" "Don't tempt me." "What, you're miserable, too?" "No, i wouldn't say miserable." "I just..." "I don't know." "I can't put my finger on it." "I'm like in this rut or something, you know?" "I just feel really disconnected." "Yeah, I agree." "You agree?" "What do you know about my ruts?" "Well, um, i know you gave some great advice to "lost in los altos" about finding new love, but, uh, you gave the same advice to "dumped in daly" last year." "What?" "shut up. i did not. are you kidding?" "Oh, my god." "I did." "So maybe i should stop giving advice to people on finding love until i can figure out how to find it myself." "You'll find it. you foresaw it." "Yeah. that was one big tease." "I think that's what's messing me up." "No." "I think what's messing you up is gideon." "I think it's the same thing that's messing us all up." "He didn't just betray leo. he betrayed all of us." "And those wounds don't heal easily." "Forgive the intrusion." "i thought it best I come to you first." "Whatever it is, we're not interested." "No, I think you'll be interested in this." "Leo just tried to kill me." "I didn't want the other elders to find out." "They'd think he was after us all now." "You can hardly blame him, can you?" "Your lack of faith is understandable, given what gideon has done, but one bad elder doesn't make us all bad." "We are on the same side here." "Are we?" "Leo didn't really want to kill me." "I know that." "Still, if he had, there would have been no redeeming him." "He would have had to have been recycled." "Recycled like what?" "Recycled like...plastic?" "No, i mean, like, sent back, reborn, to start the cycle of life over again." "we don't want to punish him for killing gideon, but we can't abide his harming innocents in the name of revenge." "which means if you don't stop him, we'll have to." "Stop him from what?" "From his obsession with vanquishing Barbas." "It's blinding him to reason, driving him over the edge." "And if he succeeds, it won't make his sons any safer, or the betrayal any less painful." "It won't heal his heart." "Time is of the essence, too, not just for his sake." "We believe there's a powerful threat looming on the horizon unlike any we've ever sensed before, and for that, we'll need everybody back into the fold... and soon." "Barbas?" "I know you're here." "Show yourself." "Don't let barbas get away." "Save your son." "who are you?" "what do you want?" "Who are you talking to?" "Nobody." "How'd you know i was here?" "I didn't, wyatt did." "Must be that orbing thing you guys share." "He looked up and said, "da-da."" "Really?" "He misses you." "We all do." "I miss him, too." "Is there anything else on barbas in here besides the main entry?" "No." "Would you like to hold your child?" "I..." "I can't." "Well, you need to, Leo." "Chris didn't die." "He's alive." "You need to move on." "Not until barbas is gone... and they're both safe." "Ah!" "Is it absolutely necessary?" "The wound is deep." "It very easily could have been fatal." "I wouldn't recommend going up against an elder again, if I were you." "My problem is that he's the one after me, and I haven't figured out how to shake him." "In that case then, this might all be for naught." "Well, thank you very much for your vote of confidence." "Actually, I don't even know what it is that i did to offend him, except for that, uh, rug rat incident, and that all came out ok in the end, more or less, and it wasn't even me that was after them." "But it should be now." "What was that?" "What was what?" "You didn't see that?" "See what?" "Go after the baby." "That." "What?" "He'll be blinded by rage...vulnerable." "Are you trying to tell me you didn't hear that?" "Maybe we should look at that wound again." "Oh, for god's sake." "He was a rotten healer anyway." "Who are you?" "Friend...or foe?" "Neither... but if you want to stop the elder, go after the baby." "Cool." "Very, very cool." "Phoebe." "There you are." "Elise, hi." "I'm so sorry I'm late." "It won't happen again." "Of course it will, but, hey, if you keep getting responses like these, who cares?" "Look at these e-mails. all from this morning's column." "Uh, yeah." "About this morning's column..." "It was brilliant, Phoebe." "I mean it." "You make us look so classy when your advice is provocative, insightful..." "Plagiarized?" "Don't worry." "I stole from myself." "I don't understand." "Yeah." "I don't understand, either, Elise, but it turns out I gave the exact same advice to someone last year, and I didn't realize it until it was too late." "So?" "Big deal." "Columnists recycle stuff all the time." "Yeah, but I don't, at least I never used to, and I just..." "I don't think I should write any more until I figure out why this happened." "Don't be ridiculous." "No, I'm not being ridiculous." "I'm just being honest, Elise." "I can't give people recycled advice." "It's...it's just not right." "it's not ethical." "Phoebe, you can't just quit." "Oh, and I don't want to quit." "Elise, I..." "I love my job, you know?" "I just don't think that I can do it right now." "Ok." "All right." "Take a sabbatical. rest." "Recharge your batteries." "Couple of months enough?" "can I do that?" "Of course you can." "I'm the boss, aren't I?" "And what happens to my column?" "I mean, do you just pull it?" "And watch sales drop?" "Are you kidding?" "No." "I'll hire someone to ghost write it for you." "Your readers will never know you're gone." "Wait." "What?" "Phoebe?" "Sorry, it's your sister." "She says it's important." "Go ahead." "I'll handle this." "Don't worry about anything." "Rest up." "Hello?" "Hey." "I think I have figured out how to save Leo." "If we can keep him from going after barbas, then we can go after him ourselves." "Wait." "What?" "It's perfect." "All we have to do is guilt Leo into taking Piper to the wedding." "Yeah, but she doesn't even want to go." "I know." "That's why I will volunteer to take care of the kids, and that way Piper won't have any excuse not to go." "Then while you guys are all at the wedding, I'll be at the book, you know, trying to find barbas." "and then what ?" "I mean, even if we find him, how are we gonna vanquish him without my powers and Piper?" "You can still cast spells, can't you?" "Paige..." "I am telling you this could work." "Not only could it save Leo, but it can get him and piper back together at a wedding, no less." "I mean, think about it." "Maybe it could kind of reignite some sparks, you know?" "Do it for the children." "Hell, do it for me." "I don't know about this." "Do you want to get out of that rut, or don't you?" "We have come together on this glorious day to wed christy and jeevan, who are here to build the foundation of their marriage upon the earth in the presence of the sacred fire and among their family and friends." "Oh, we are so late." "Has the ceremony started?" "Yes, ma'am." "Oh, no." "I told you to just go ahead and go." "Yeah, well,I don't understand why you couldn't leave the baby with Paige." "When you're a mother, you'll understand." "Yeah, that's assuming I'm gonna have any eggs left." "How do you do this thing?" "Here." "Oh." "It's so nice to have a man around the house." "Except I think I should still be after barbas." "Not until you can distinguish between a demon and an elder." "You're stuck with us." "Paige?" "What are you doing?" "Give me that." "What are you doing?" "What do you mean what am I doing?" "I'm checking on wyatt." "You just checked on wyatt." "Have you guys thought about seeing a shrink?" "Yeah." "We did that." "Ok, look, I know you haven't been out of the house in a very, very long time, but this is christy's wedding, so please try to have fun." "Is this a wedding or an orgy?" "It's a hindu ceremony." "It's supposed to be very, very, very romantic." "Oh." "See?" "I knew this would happen." "This is overstimulation, We gotta get out of here." "Hey!" "Excuse me!" "Wait!" "No, no." "No, no." "You know what?" "You guys go, and I'll take care of chris, ok?" "You guys go in and have a good time." "Have fun." "Remember what that is, fun?" "Come on." "Diaper bag." "Thank you." "Vignesh variaia varadaia sukhapriyaya, yakundendutusharahara dhawala, om, sahana vavatu..." "Vignesh variaia varadaia sukhapriyaya, yakundendutusharahara dhawala, om, sahana vavatu..." "You're ok." "Shh." "You're ok, Chris." "You're ok." "Chris, huh?" "Interesting name." "Same as the guy who died in your house a couple months ago, isn't it?" "Are you following me?" "yes, i am." "Actually, I would have approached you sooner, but, uh, Lieutenant Morris here thought that you might need some time to mourn your loss." "He's very protective of you." "Seems to know you real well," "Which is why I asked him to be my partner on this." "You know, you and your sisters don't seem to be getting out much lately." "Why is that, I wonder?" "You're not hiding from me, are you?" "We've got nothing to hide." "Good, then you'll have no objections coming downtown to answer some questions." "You've just been served." "Questions about what?" "About what really happened to... the other Chris." "How he mysteriously broke out of jail, how come he doesn't seem to appear in any database, how come you didn't have a funeral for him, what happened to his body..." "You know, just stuff like that." "16h00." "Don't be late." "You know, I can almost understand you not helping us, but to help her?" "It's not like that, I swear." "I don't want to be in the middle of this, but she knows I know something." "She knows we got history." "And you think if she exposes us, she's not gonna bust you, too?" "Coming, lieutenant?" "You're gonna have to choose a side, Darryl." "It's just the way it works." "And now, as the circle is the symbol of the earth and the sun and the universe," "I call upon the goddess and god that created all things to bless this sacred union and to consecrate upon them that which has..." "Are you seeing what i'm seeing?" "Yeah." "...the motivating force behind the divine... but I don't think anybody else can." "...the power of divine desire forever." "The power of love." "You ok?" "I don't know." "I feel a little woozy." "Piper." "Oh...oh..." "Hey!" "Is the wedding over already?" "Oh, my god." "Let's get outta here." "I don't understand how could this have happened?" "Beats the hell out of me." "Isn't she beautiful?" "I can't believe what I'm seeing." "Tell me about it.." "When was the last time you saw Piper grab Leo's ass." "We need to do something...quickly." "Hello?" "Phoebe, it's for you." "Ok." "Book of shadows." "Hindu spirits." "Yello?" "Is this a bad time?" "Uh, actually, Elise, yeah." "I'm kind of up to my elbows in stuff." "Well, I just wanted to give you the good news." "the ghost writer that I was hoping to hire just happens to be in town and wants to do it." "Isn't that terrific?" "Wait." "What?" "And better yet, Leslie can start right away with tomorrow's column." "Leslie?" "Ok." "Who...who's Leslie ?" "Elise, don't you think I should have a say in this ?" "So how soon can you get down here ?" "Because I would really like the two of you to meet as soon as possible." "Yeah...no, now's not really a good time." "Ok, then how about in an hour ?" "We'll see you then." "She can hardly wait to meet you." "Likewise." "She hung up on me." "I cannot believe she hung up on me." "Ok." "I'll just leave you two to go at it." "Bright side?" "At least we know that Piper and Leo still have the hots for each other." "Yeah, well, you better be careful with that whole hots thing because it's contagious." "Don't stand too close." "It comes courtesy of Shakti, the hindu goddess of creation, and Shiva, her lover, the god of destruction." "Yeah, but why did this happen to Piper and Leo ?" "I mean, any ideas ?" "Why does anything happen to any of us around here ?" "Good point." ""Shakti and Shiva are commonly invoked at weddings because they're considered to be the ultimate lovers."" "Well, I'm thinking it's meant to be symbolic." "Unless there are magical lovers to hijack ?" "Read on." ""Shakti, also called the ultimate mother, and Shiva together created all things, and if they consummate their love again, all things will be obliterated and the universe will be reborn."" "Talk about your Big Bang theory." "All right, stop it !" "You two, stop it right now !" "Stop it, stop it, stop it." "You go over there, you over here." "And keep your hands to yourself." "But you're interrupting us." "And saving life as we know it." "What are you talking about?" "Look at your outfit." "Does that look like something you normally wear ?" "Well, no." "Exactly." "This is not the first time we have been hijacked by gods." "So you just have to fight it." "I don't want to fight it." "I haven't felt this potent in years." "Oversharing." "Any idea how to redirect his potency ?" "Yeah." "We should send him after Barbas." "Barbas?" "And what about the risk to the Elders ?" "I think the risk to the universe is greater." "I made a vanquishing potion." "I'll go get it." "I won't need it." "I'll be back." "I'll be waiting." "Wow, is that hot or what ?" "Or what." "Ok, I'm gonna go to magic school and try to find a spell to dispossess them." "Take the babies with you." "They'll be safer there." "No !" "The baby stays with me." "Ok." "Where are you going ?" "I have to go to, you know, work." "Gentlemen." "Gentlemen, gentlemen !" "Please. one at a time, if you please." "I'm failing to see the problem here." "You asked for help." "You said we would share in the spoils." "Then you tell us you're going after the Charmed Ones." "ddo you take us for fools?" "That's suicide." "No, I'm not going after the charmed ones, per se." "Just their little baby." "Ok, it's obvious that you are failing to grasp the bigger picture here." "So I will explain it for you again... for the umpteenth time." "Ok." "In going after the child, we are, in effect, pouring salt into the still festering wounds of the father who happens to be an Elder, the Charmed Ones' elder." "So ?" "So his parental instincts kick in, his vengeful little heart fills with rage, and then with just the tiniest little nudge from me, he makes a mistake, a fatal mistake." "Leaving the witches unprotected by him." "Exactly !" "And leaving you with the best chances at knocking them off anybody's had in years." "Almost sounds too good to be true, doesn't it ?" "What about that creature you told us about ?" "How does he fit in to all this?" "See, that's a very good question, one I don't have the answer to." "But he did cloak this lair so Leo couldn't track me." "That makes him a friend, a very powerful friend." "What's going on ?" "Oh, hi, Paige. we're packing up, closing down the school." "What ?" "Since when ?" "Since Gideon died." "Look, love him or hate him, he started this magic school, and without him, there's no one left to fight for it anymore." "I'll fight for it." "Against the Elders ?" "You don't stand a chance." "No offense, but Gideon was the only one that could stand up to them and convince them he could keep it safe from demons discovering us or mortals for that matter." "What about the next generation?" "Where are they gonna learn what needs to be learned ?" "I don't know." "Is the nursery still open ?" "Yeah, another week or so." "Ok, stop packing those books because I'm gonna need them." "Come on, baby." "Elise!" "Good." "You're here." "Come and meet your new..." "Uh, yeah." "Just so we're clear," "If I don't like this person, we can find someone else, right ?" "Absolutely. it's your column." "You got to be happy with him." "Him ?" "!" "wWh..." "I'm sorry, him ?" "I better call you back." "Hi." "I hope it's ok." "I just wanted to get started." "Leslie?" "Surprise!" "eExpecting a girl, weren't you ?" " Well..." " So were my folks. it's how I got the name." "You can call me Les." "Now before you say no, just hear me out." "He had his own advice column in Philly, and it was totally hip, very hot." "A perfect match for yours." "Hot, huh ?" "Wow." "Oh !" "Not again." "hhe's relocating to L.A. in a couple of months, which works out perfectly for how long you want to be away." "That's great, Elise, but he's a man." "Is that a problem ?" "Well...uh, most of my readers are women." "And you don't think a man can give advice to women." "Uh, no, actually, not as well as a woman can, no." "Well, what about dr." "Phil?" "Dr. Phil is a doctor, right?" "Dr. Phil." "Ah, so a man can give advice to a woman if he's a doctor." "That's not what I meant." "That's what it sounded like." "Are you feeling all right?" "Me?" "Yeah." "Ha!" "Yes, I'm feeling all right." "I'm great." "Are you kidding?" "'Cause you don't look like you do." "What are you, a doctor now, too?" "Actually, I am." "Of psychology." "I wrote my doctorate on women's intuit..." "I..." "I aced it." "I bet you did." "Phoebe!" "I guess that means i got the job." "No!" "No, no, it's ok, peanut." "You're ok." "Doctor." "Doctor, my ass." "I'd like to actually see proof that he's a doctor, you know?" "What are you muttering about?" "Elise." "She hired a man." "Can you believe that?" "I don't know what she was thinking." "Hired a man for what?" "My job." "That's what." "Might possibly be the worst idea i've ever had." "I don't know what i was thinking." "You quit?" "No, no." "I'm just taking a sabbatical." "Well, i was taking a sabbatical." "I'm clearly not anymore." "Well, don't look at me like that." "You were the one that said i was in a rut." "Anyway, you'll never guess what happened while we were gone." "I mean, it's just the most ridiculous..." "Have you even ever heard of a male advice columnist?" "i haven't." "Try to guess." "You won't be able to." "And i don't care what the book says about the divine horniness... only being rubbed off if you're attracted to someone because... there's no way I'm attracted to him." "Ha ha!" "Oh, god, I hope he's not the one from my vision." "I think I'm gonna be sick." "Barbas tried to kidnap baby chris." "Paige, that is not funny." "I'm not trying to be funny." "It's true." " Oh, no." " Oh, yes." "Piper's upstairs putting him to sleep right now." "He's ok." "He didn't get hurt." "Oh, thank goodness." "Leo's gonna go ballistic." "Yes, and that is precisely why Piper does not want us to tell him anything." "Tell me what?" "How much she wants you." "Piper." "She desperately wants you." "You're not supposed to tell him that." "I know." "But you know me with secrets." "I can't keep them." "So how did it go with barbas?" "It didn't." "I couldn't track him." "Really?" "You couldn't track him?" "Not even with all those powers cooped up inside of you?" "I know." "Strange, isn't it?" "So where's Piper?" "Upstairs?" "What happened here?" "You're not gonna like it." "So what?" "You're not gonna give them a chance to cooperate with us now?" "Is that it, huh?" "They had their chance." "They didn't show." "Now we've got a warrant." "That does not give us the right to bust in like this." "Yeah, well, i want it to be a surprise." "Well, you got something you want to say, Morris?" "One way or another, i'm gonna find out who this chris guy really was and what they're hiding." "Now you're either with me...or you're against me." "You see?" "This is why Piper didn't want us to tell you." "I'm gonna kill him." "I'm gonna rip the world apart until i find barbas." "Yeah." "That's what we're worried about." "Leo, you have to calm down until we know all the facts." "What facts?" "!" "He went after one of my sons again." "Yeah, but he didn't get him." "Doesn't matter." "Police!" "Freeze!" "Hands in the air!" "What the hell is wrong with you?" "Are you out of your mind?" "Yeah, i think he is." "Shh!" "I just got the baby to sleep." "What happened?" "Where's leo?" "Leo." " Barbas. where is he?" " Barbas?" "How many times do you have to go through all this before you realize they're all working together." "Leo, don't do this." "You know better." "He's after your boy." "I'm after your boy." "They're all after your boy." "That's why it's your greatest fear." " Where is he, damn it!" " Wait!" "Listen to me, Leo." "Don't do this!" "Kill him." "Kill them all!" "What have we gone and done now?" "Thanks." "Did you find Leo?" "Where's Chris?" "He's with Wyatt in the nursery." " What happened?" " Did you find the spell to fix us?" " Yeah, but..." " Cast it." ""We call upon the mortal ways..."" ""and gods who guide but may not stay."" ""We seek those of divinity..."" ""to separate from and set them free."" "Are you all right?" "Piper." "Ggo get Phoebe and then go get Barbas." "We still don't know how to find him." "I wounded him." "You should be able to scry with his blood." "I killed another elder." "It's not your fault." "You were tricked." "Was I?" "What have I become?" "Oh, it's ok." "It's ok." "Nobody else has to know." "Just try to follow the light." "I still don't think this was a good idea." "Well, what did you want us to do?" "Send her to urgatory?" "We had to play it safe." "She's too suspicious already." "Yeah, ok." "But what if she remembers what...what really happened?" "Look to your right." "Focus." "Get the "c" collar and board." "Do you remember what you were doing here, inspector?" "We came to search for something." "Do you remember what happened to you?" "She slipped." "We're doing a lot of redecorating, and she slipped and fell." "Well, do you remember?" "Uh..." "I..." "No." "Just take a deep breath." "Good." "She still remembers the search warrant." "So what?" "what is she gonna find?" "What's going on?" "Nothing." "I think we have everything under control here." "What's up?" "We've got some work to do." "Hey!" "Why don't you come on down?" "Show yourself." "All I want to do is thank you." "It was such a very good plan." "I mean, it worked perfectly." "So, uh..." "How about we go after the witches now?" "Works for us." "Well, well, well, well, well." "What do you know?" "It really is true. just ask and ye shall receive." "Of course this lair was supposed to be cloaked." "Yeah. you should probably ask your invisible friend about that." "Yeah, well, maybe I will." "Oh, come to vanquish me, I see." "What?" "Again?" "Yeah." "But I just have one little question first." "Why the baby?" "What does that even get you?" "Ah, the baby." "That...that just gets me to you without the bodyguard." "By the way, how is old Leo, anyway?" "Suffering nicely, I hope." "I think we should check your fears first." "How charming." "Your greatest fear is that your nephews won't be safe." "From me. how touching." "of course, such a great fear paralyzes you." "Can't believe you forgot about that." "Oh, we didn't forget." "We just knew our greatest desire would overcome our greatest fear." "And our greatest desire is to protect our nephews from you." "Ah, you know I'll be back." "Fear always comes back!" "You set me up!" "I never get tired of seeing that." "I wonder who he was talking to." "I don't know, and I don't want to know." "Making yourself comfortable, I see." "Sorry." "Y-you know, phoebe, you really don't have to come in here bright and early anymore." "Otherwise, it's not really a sabbatical." "Yeah, I know." "Actually, I'm gonna tell you the truth." "After I met you, I wasn't so sure I wanted to take the time off." "Ah, made quite an impression on you, did I?" "No, not really." "So you kiss all the new employees their first day on the job, do you?" "Yeah, well...ha!" "That was, you know, not...not...not what you think it was." "Really?" "Yeah." "And what do you think I think it was?" "I don't know what you think it was." "But whatever you think it was, it actually wasn't." "Anyway, uh, I thought I would wait until this morning" "And read what you wrote and see if I was still comfortable with my decision." "And?" "And I liked it." "There was some good advice in there, considering you're a guy." "Well, thanks..." "I think." "Of course, I wouldn't want to sully your good name." "You'd better not." "Good luck." "Hey, for whatever it's worth..." "You're a pretty damn good kisser, even though it didn't mean anything." "Oh, my god." "I'm so tired." "I didn't sleep at all last night, and it's not even because of Barbas." "Pray tell." "It's the whole magic school thing, you know?" "It's gotten me really depressed." "I don't know why the elders are just shutting it down." "Well, they can do whatever they want." "that's why they're them." "Yeah, well, it's not fair." "Well, who's gonna stop them?" "I am." "What?" "Yeah." "I mean, magic's the best thing that has ever happened to me, right?" "I mean, other than you guys." "No offense, but you guys did kind of happen to me" "At the same time that magic happened to me." "So if you really actually count it..." "Rambling." "Right." "Look, aside from Gideon, the school is a great thing, right?" "And I think I'm gonna do it." "I'm gonna get back to my magical roots." "I think that's a good idea." "Um, any idea how you're gonna do it?" "Not a clue." "Oh, my goodness." "Are you going outside..." "With them?" "Yes, I am." "Now may I go, or do you want to tease me some more about it?" "I'd really like to tease you some more, but I will wait until you get back." "What changed?" "Well, sharing a body with the ultimate mother, um, I got a few tips." "Like what?" "Like I can't protect them from everything or I'll probably end up making them neurotic." "Lord knows we don't need any more of those around here." "No." "So we're just gonna have to go out and brave the big, bad world." "What about Leo?" "Is he gonna join?" "No." "He's still, um, dealing with some stuff." "Barbas was right." "Killing him doesn't end the pain of betrayal." "Who the hell are you?" " What do you want?" " What do we want?" "We want..." "You!"
