Evil got the Book of Shadows. How did evil get the Book of Shadows?
Oh no, Phoebe? Evil got the Book of Shadows, 'oh no' doesn't quite cover it.
ColeLet me go see what I can find out... (stopped by Phoebe)
No, wait... Uh, Piper? Promise me you're not gonna over-react.
I think that, uh, maybe... (gulps) well, it might-might be feasible that, uh, (takes in a deep breath) Paige... borrowed the book.
What? Why-why... why... Why would you think that?!
See, now, this is what I meant by over-reacting, it's just that I...
Cole
You let Paige take the Book of Shadows out of the manor.
Well, no, I did not let her! It's just she left pretty quick and... it looks like she might've... (points to the open attic window)
Phoebe, why would you even leave her alone with it?!
Well, because she's our sister.
(chuckles, then stops abruptly) Not for long! (stalks out)
(Phoebe follows Piper out of the door, only to return again to Cole, who is sitting on a chair)
Cole
To vanquish your sister? (scoffs lightly) I think I'll sit this one out.
(Phoebe leaves while Cole twiddles his thumbs.)
Cole
(quietly) What's not supposed to be here?
(Piper notices a chair in the observatory and blows it up.)
Piper, I think that was Paige's chair.
(satisfactorily) Yeah, I know, it was ugly.
No. Everything is just right.
Yeah... which, ummm, I'll actually pay to replace.
Oh God no. It's not your fault. (Paige pauses) Or is it?
Actually, yeah... it is. I was just upset that there was yet another demon in our house, in our lives. And I know I should stop fighting it and just accept it, but...
Nah. It wasn't my favorite chair. Besides, it is kinda good to know I am not the only one who struggles with the idea of being a witch.
No, trust me, you are in good company.
Well, the good news is that you won't have to deal with the Source anytime soon, because Cole hurt him pretty bad.
Cole
Not bad enough though, he'll be back.
So. (Rubs her hands up and down Cole's chest) He's gone for now. First time in a long time. Maybe we should take advantage of that.
Cole
(Pulls Phoebe up against him) Why Ms. Haliwell, are you trying to seduce me?
(Phoebe and Cole race up the stairs laughing)
Okay... I'm just going to go to the store and get some milk or something...
(Paige leaves)
(to Piper) You sure you're okay?
Yeah. I mean, I'm never going to stop wanting a normal life, but I think that's the one thing that actually keeps me sane.
Well, you deserve a normal life Piper. We both do. And maybe we'll get that once we banish the Source once and for all.
And who knows. Maybe one day I could have a baby shower of my own. What do you think?
(Leo picks Piper up and cradles her in his arms)
Need to practice a little.
I'm making this up as I go along, so power surge or no, you're going to have to be patient. Just like you're going to have to be patient on the marriage front.
Cole
I don't think that's any of your business.
You don't know sisters very well, do you?
It's just, becoming a wife. I mean, I like Samantha but I never actually wanted to become her. See, Samantha, she was married to a human, Darrin. Darrin completely suppressed Samantha's magic, completely denied who she was. And it wasn't because he didn't love her, it was just that's the way it had to be.
Cole
And this was one of your favourite shows?
Cole
Miss Phoebe Halliwell, I come to you, a man, nothing more, nothing less, to ask, will you be my wife?
Hmm.. Yeah, I will, again.
Oh honey, what will you do?
Cole
Well, I dunno, I'm still searching for who I am. But we know who you are, which is a demon-fighting, ass-kicking witch who never lets her sisters down. So get out of that bathtub and show me what you're made of!
(Phoebe stands up and flashes black and white)
Hey, Cole, how's your progress going on... Oh God, full frontal Phoebe! Sorry.
Cole
She just flashed.
Cole
No, no, I mean she just flashed black and white.
Oh honey, are you still on that Last Will and Testament kick? I gotta tell you, it's very very morbid.
No, it's very very responsible. Prue did it, and thank God she did 'cause if she didn't we'd still be dealing with lawyers. No offense.
Cole
Oh, none taken. I've come to terms with my evil past.
