Leo: What are you looking for?
Piper: I'm trying to find this recipe Grams made for making a honey/ginger sauce.
Leo: You sure it's here because I just clean the attic last week.
Piper: I'm not sure.
Leo: It's okay Piper, but what about P3?
Piper: Oh no! I forgot about P3?
Leo: What you going to do?
Piper: Try and resurrect it.
Leo: How?
Piper: What is with these 99 questions lately?
Leo: Just looking forward. {Gets irrupted by Piper)
Piper: Looking forward to what?
Leo: I wasn't finish; I'm looking forward into getting a job.
{Piper giggling}
Leo: What? {Then, seconds later Phoebe enters}
Phoebe: Did I just walk in and heard Leo getting a job?
Piper: Trust me seeing Leo getting a job is kind of weird.
Leo: Weird how?
Piper: You know, you being turned into a mortal and seeing the Angel of Destiny taking you that's how.
Leo: {smirking}
Phoebe: Hey Piper what are you doing anyway?
Piper: Try to find this recipe Grams made, but I think it pulled a Houdini act on me.
Phoebe: Well, you know Grams were a secretive person.
Piper: Huh! It runs in the family.
Leo: Where's Paige? Henry called earlier, yet she orbed away and.
{Suddenly, orbs come down and it is revealed to be Paige feeling outworked and tired}
Phoebe: Are you okay sweetie?
Paige: No! Wild tigers chased me when I was in Tanzania trying to help my charge; luckily, I dodge those fur balls away just in time and orbed back here.
Leo: Why not to Henry because he has been looking for you.
Paige: Don't worry about him I'll see him later. {Looking around the attic} What happened?
Piper: Don't even start!
{Phoebe sees a old I love you card in one of Gram’s boxes, then suddenly gets a premonition about a middle-aged woman feeling lost and keeps on saying "Help me, Phoebe!" all over until it goes blank; Phoebe comes out of the premonition and gets surprised on what just happen.}
Piper: Phoebe...Did you just had a premonition?
Phoebe: Yes!
Paige: What happened? What's wrong?
Phoebe: I think we need go back to the old days!
Leo: What old days?
Phoebe: Fighting demons again and becoming charmed again.
Piper: Oh, those old days!

INT.LIVING ROOM
{Leo and the girls all walk downstairs to the living room; each sitting down and conversating about Phoebe’s latest premonition.}
Piper: {looking at Phoebe frustrated} I can’t believe you say, “I think we should go back to the old days.”
Phoebe: Well, Piper my premonitions don’t have a on and off switch; I just can’t read my mind and say, “STOP!”
Leo: Well, your powers do come from your emotions.
Paige: {listening to Leo’s last statement} When the last time I heard that?
Piper: Not to bust all your bubbles, but didn’t demons said they half to rebuild; so maybe
Phoebe’s latest premonition was about a girl that didn’t involve demons.
Phoebe: Honestly Piper, I don’t know what is this is all about and second, demons always
lie and that’s it.
Paige: I wonder if giving up our Wiccan duties is a problem maybe we need to go back to being the Charmed Ones.
Piper: Until there is any demon attacks, we still need to go back living our normal lives.
Paige: I have a bad feeling about this.
Phoebe: {still wondering what’s her premonition is about, listening to Paige’s statement.} What bad feeling?
Paige: {answering Phoebe’s question} Looking at all our troubles now you know, your premonition, Piper trying to find Grams’ recipe, myself looking for enlightment, and demons resurfacing soon; I really have a bad feeling about this.

Demon 2: for what Macabees?
Macabees: To stay in this retched place; The Triad is gone; we lost the Magic School to the side of good again, and end up like trash recycled for twenty years. {Trying to be sarcastic to his last remark} Just ask Nomed; I wonder where he is?
Demon 2: Even though the Triad is gone again, we do have another powerful source in our disposal. We might have a chance of ruling the Underworld!
Macabees: A chance? What chance we got ruling the Underworld, Ban? Besides ask the Triad, the Source, Barbas, and Cole, oh yeah they all dead!
Ban: Listen! The Demon Exile is our ticket to rule.
Macabees: What! I can’t believe you even think about that retched place; you know who’s in there and “they” want their revenge.
Ban: Exactly, Macabees listen if we want rule everything we need to summon the Exile and only get one exiled demon; we use him to destroy everything in the Mortal world, while we rule down here.
Macabees: Perfect!
Ban: All we need to do is to summon it, but how?
Macabees: I know a way!

Manager (phone): Again, I’m sorry, maybe next time, Good-bye, Mrs. Halliwell!
Piper: I don’t have a next time! {Hearing the manager hanging up on her, frustrated hang up the phone} Just great, what next?

Young Man: I’m sorry; you must be Piper Halliwell, the owner of this club.
Piper: Yes, I’m Piper and I’m desperate in booking a band for resurrecting this club.
Young Man: Maybe, I can help; my friends and I have a band and we willingly accept your booking.
Piper: All right! {Feeling happy and relieved, but still worried about something} I’m sorry, yet who are you?
Young Man: My name’s Pete and my band’s name is…
Piper: Wait! {Seeing FOB on his shirt and realizes something} Pete from Fall Out Boy!
Pete: Yes it’s me! I just visited here in San Francisco for a break, yet seeing you upset and this club going down I talk to the boys to get a sound check before the reopening.
Piper: Oh, Pete you are a lifesaver!
Pete: Thanks! I just come back here in twenty minutes to get ready for the sound check before the reopening with the others.

Elise: Sorry, I hope this was for me, but it’s for you.
Phoebe: Those flowers are for me?
Elise: Yes, this beautiful batch is for you and don’t even have an “I Love you” or “Thank You” card along with it.
Phoebe: Who was it from?
Elise: I honestly don’t know, but instead of the flowers put your mind on today’s deadline.
Phoebe: Why?
Elise: The deadline has changed!
Phoebe: {putting the flowers in a vast space, then turns around and hears Elise’s surprise.} What?
Elise: It was supposed to be midnight, yet the new boss upstairs-created new rules, so the deadline is in by 7:00.
Phoebe: I don’t believe it, Piper just called me to say P3 is alive and will begin by 7:00; I don’t even have time to go to my condo, change, and go to club. It’s about six hours until this new deadline.
Elise: I’m sorry, but sometimes you have to accept the new changes and maybe forget the old.
Phoebe: I hope I can be in your shoes, Elise.
Elise: Don’t worry one day you will be. {Then she leaves and another woman approach, a middle-aged woman with a flashy attire.}
Phoebe: {seeing the woman coming to her direction} Hi! How can I—{looking up at the woman who looks exactly like the woman in her premonition.}
Woman: My name is Dawn and I need your help, Phoebe; I really need your help.

Maccabees: I figure I would run into this place again.
Ban: You been here before? {Sounding exaggerated}
Maccebees: Yes, I did! I was a former apprentice to the old seer, before the Source vanquished her. She taught me some secrets to the dark arts.
Ban: Like what, practicing voodoo?
Maccebees: No, I mean opening a portal to the Demon Exile and summoning an demon to return; Like this: “Canto Ex Libras Su Essanto Me Noxtos Ve Sole!!” {Suddenly, a ripple in the air appears showing a cloudy portal and someone coming out of it.}
Exiled Demon: {A male who seems older, wiser, and have a black fade} my name is…
Maccebees: You’re name is Kalkin. My old master [the old seer] told me about your infamous past.
Kalkin: Yes, I’m been hunted so many times I forgot how many. The Source banished me in the Exile; I have several questions to ask and do answer. What year is this? Who are you? And what do you seek from this?
Maccebees: The year is 2006, it’s been a century and I’m, Maccebees, and this is Ban.
Ban: We seek to rule the underworld; by helping us rule it and helping you get your revenge. {Turning to Maccebees} What about the…
Kalkin: The Charmed Ones?
Maccebees: How do you know about them?
Kalkin: I have far more powers than you realize; I sense the Source is dead along with the Triad by those witches. It seems I’ll challenge them to a fight.
Maccebees: Every demon that faces them is dead, banished, or retreated; you need a strategy, but what?
Kalkin: I know. {Seeing Ban, then suddenly Ban is covered in flames and vanquished before Maccebees’s eyes.} I use their past against them.
Maccebees: {seen his fellow demon killed and understanding Kalkin’s strategy to destroy the Charmed Ones and rule the Underworld.}
