(Piper and Paige are walking down the staircase in the Manor.)
Did she say what she wanted?
She just said she wanted to speak to us.
This could very well be a trap. Did she call Phoebe?
PhoebeYeah, she did.
(Piper and Paige turn to see Phoebe, and begin to walk towards her.)
Well, at the risk of your wrath, I'm going to tell you that this could be a very bad idea.
Phoebe
I know, but please, let's just listen to what Billie has to say.
I just spoke with an Elder, and she confirmed that those two could be very big trouble for us.
She wasn't 100% sure, but it is a possibility, which means sooner or later ...
(Grey smoke begins to rise from the floor. The three sisters turn to see the smoke fade to reveal Billie.)
You know, considering you want to kill us, maybe you should use the front door.
I don't want to kill you Piper, I just want to find out the truth.
Phoebe
Well, how do we help you find that?
(Billie throws a potion vial, which smashes at the sisters' feet. White smoke rises and flows into their bodies, and the sisters fall to the floor. Grey smoke rises up from the floor again beside Billie, which fades to reveal Christie, who stands beside her sister.)
You promise not to hurt them, right?
Not until you see what you need to see.
Watch it, guys! Wait for me. This thing's heavy.
Phoebe
I think we're going in circles because this looks very familiar.
Yeah, it looks the same to me too.
Well, of course it does. It's the Underworld. It all looks the same. How many looks can they come up with?
No wonder they wanna take over our world. This is ugly.
Phoebe
They've already taken our world. That's why we're stuck down here. We gotta do something. Come on!
Phoebe
Maybe we should talk to the leprechauns again?
No, I've had it with the leprechauns.
I think they made their allegiance pretty clear.
Phoebe
They wouldn't even give us a chance to explain.
I don't think it would have mattered. Billie and Christy have everybody thinking that we're the threat.
Phoebe
We gotta get out of here.
Phoebe
Okay, do it.
Okay, we can't keep playing Survivor: Underworld much longer.
Phoebe
What are we gonna do?
How about we just orb home?
Phoebe
No, it's too risky. Billie and Christy will be waiting for us. And their new friends.
Okay, well, we gotta do something fast because word is gonna get around that we're down here.
She's right. We can't fend off demons forever. We need a plan.
What? It's just that every time we go out and try to get a life, meet people, do new things, we seem to wind up back in these kind of lame positions. Giving up is not such a bad idea, is it?
Phoebe
No, I'm not giving up. Not now and not after I finally found someone I could see having a future with. Look, if we want our lives and Leo back... we're gonna have to fight.
Fight Billie and Christy.
Phoebe
Exactly.
Are you sure you can do it? I mean, really do it? Can you kill them?
Phoebe
Yeah, they're no different than demons now. Not after all of this.
We've been waiting for you.
(The five girls glare at each other)
We don't need any potions.
Phoebe
Funny. Neither do we.
I know we should never trusted you.
You should have followed your instincts.
There won't BE a next time.
(They stare at each other for a beat and then shoot their powers at each other, causing the manor to explode.)
DDumain
My lords. We come from the future to warn you about it. The Charmed Ones are going to get the Hollow at the same time Billie and Christy will.
Which means we've gotta get to it before they do this time.
ABAsmodeus, Bailel and Candor
[screaming]
Oh, yes. (blows up present and past Dumain.)
I don't understand! How could this happen?
Phoebe
Billie projected us here.
(holds hand out and Coop's ring orbs off Christy's finger and into Paige's hand)
(glaring at Billie) How could you?
Christy, please. It's over. Just come home.
(Christy launches a fireball at Billie and the Charmed Ones, but Billie deflects it back, accidentally vanquishing Christy. Billie starts crying)
(Phoebe and Paige are sitting down at the table when Piper joins them with the Book of Shadows.)
Don't tell me we have to go fight a demon.
No, (sighs) I don't think we'll have to do that anytime soon.
Phoebe
Then what's with the book?
Well, I think we should write everything down. Everything that happened, everything we want future generations to know, so we can pass it down. Just like it was passed down to us.
(looks at Piper, then turns to Phoebe) After you.
(Piper gives the book to Phoebe, who turns it to the first empty page, somewhere in the middle of the book, and starts writing. This is the final dialogue heard between the Charmed Ones before the writing begins, along with the following flash-forward voice-over into the future that finally ends the show.)
Phoebe (voice-over): So much has happened over the last eight years. So much has been gained and lost. Still, in some ways, I feel like my life is really just beginning... and it was. For though I had loved before, I'd never really known love until I met Coop, a man who I shared the special little girl I had long ago foreseen, but feared I might never have. Along with two other special little girls I had not foreseen. I was suddenly so blessed to have a new family of my own, and old friends to share it with. And though I kept working and giving advice to those who asked, I was more interested in helping them find love. Since, finally, having been loved.
Paige (voice-over): Phoebe had become somewhat of an expert on the subject. As for me, life without demons opened up similar avenues. Henry, of course, continued to look after his parolees, even if they didn’t want to be looked after, while still making time to help me with little Henry and the twins. Which allowed me time to finally embrace my inner Whitelighter, and to help the next generation of witches come into their own.
Piper (voice-over): So that Paige could pass on all that she'd learned, not just to her own children, or to mine, or to Phoebe's, but to other future witches and whitelighters as well. Which filled the time between when we were doing the fighting and when our kids were old enough to take over. Allowing me time to get back to my roots and cook something other than potions for once, and open the restaurant I'd always dreamed of owning. As for Leo, after we reclaimed Magic School, he went back to teaching, which he continued to do, until it was time to retire. And although we certainly had our struggles…
(50 years later, finishes reading the Book of Shadows to her granddaughter) …and heartaches over the years, we’re a family of survivors and we will always be... which is why we've truly been, Charmed.
GGranddaughter
Again Grandmama, again.
Oh, dear. No, I can’t. I need to rest. But you can look at it for a little while if you’d like, hmmm? (She kisses her head and stands up. Old Leo waits nearby.) After all, it’ll be yours one day.
