It's okay, Mom, you just fainted.
Well of course I fainted, you're dead!
“Forever Charmed” · Season 8
In this episode: Piper Halliwell (5), Phoebe Halliwell (5), Paige Matthews (5), Grams Halliwell (3), Christy Jenkins (3), Patty Halliwell (3), Billie Jenkins (2), Victor Bennett (2)
Are you getting any of this?
Whatever...as long as we're alive again that's all I care about. Plus, it's really nice to see you guys again!
Actually, we've never met.
Yes, we have, but you were ghost. (the look on Patty's face suddenly changed) Oh, does she know?
Yes, we know, we're both dead by now. We're over it.
Speak for yourself.
Wait, you guys went to the future, too?
We sure did miss a lot when we were dead.
(Coop flashes in.)
(to Piper) Hey... (he turns and sees Phoebe.) Phoebe?
Hi.
Thanks a lot for telling me she's alive.
(Piper tosses Coop's ring to him.)
You're welcome.
AWAdult Wyatt
(surprised) Uncle Coop!
(Adult Chris immediately hits Wyatt in the arm to shut him up)
Uncle Coop?! What!? (she stutters stunned as Chris shakes his head at Wyatt who covers his mouth.)
We're gonna need Dumain's help if we're gonna finish what we started.
Haven't you been listening to me? He's been manipulating us, probably since we met him.
If we could just get to the Hollow sooner this time, figure out a way.
Christy, listen! What is the matter with you? Dumain is using us, okay? And he's not the only one, the Triad is also. Yes, that's right, they're still alive, or they were, but Dumain didn't tell us that, did he? Instead, he tried to trick me, into saving them instead of you.
Well, maybe you should've listened to him.
What?
The Triad, could've helped us figure out how to kill the sisters if they were still around.
Okay. Look at me, listen to me very carefully. They don't care about us. They have twisted everything. They're using us, Christy. Their using us for our powers, our sisterhood, and our lives so all we can do is kill.
And that's exactly what we're going to do, Billie. We're going to kill.
Well, I can't do it. I won't.
Then I'll do it on my own.
Christy! God.
Now, this is our grandson Wyatt… ooh, so handsome!
But I-I'm… I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm so confused.
Ah, you'll get over it. I did.
Where did you come from.
1975. How do I look?
… Didn't anyone tell her, we're divorced?
(Patty stops smiling.)
What?
You dumped me, for your Whitelighter.
Sam?
Yeah, Sam! Paige's father!
DDumain
What do you mean Billie's not coming? We need her.
We can defeat the Charmed Ones without her.
DDumain
No, we can't. We need the Triad to do that, and we need her power to go back and save them.
Well, maybe there's another way.
(Piper and Grams are mixing up a potion. The smoke from the latest ingredient added seems to be somewhat light.)
Mmm, that's not nearly enough. Here, let me do it.
Wha--I think I know how to do it after all this time.
It's Billie and Christy. They're not demons.
Well, they might as well be after all you've told me, which means we can't take any chances. (pauses) I can't get over how big this book has gotten. I'm so proud of you girls.
Then why won't you let me stir?
(Someone knocks on the door.)
Uh, Piper, why don't you get that?
Paige, why don't you get that?
Okay, I'll get that. (rolls eyes)
(She goes to open the door and finds Henry.)
Hey! What are you doing here?
What am I doing here? I'm looking for my wife. She didn't come home last night. Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay! Of course I'm okay! I mean, we weren't "okay" okay, but now we're okay and in the future I think we're gonna be... I think we're gonna be more than okay.
(stares blankly) Okay.
Don't tell me she marries a Whitelighter too.
Worse. A mortal.
Oh, good God. Didn't I teach you girls anything?
Hey, what can I say? There's always Uncle Coop!
AAsmodeus
What?
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.
DDumain
Get out of here!
ABAsmodeus, Bailel and Candor
[screaming]
DDumain
No!
Oh, yes. (blows up present and past Dumain.)
I don't understand! How could this happen?
Billie projected us here.
By focusing on you.
Paige.
Ring!
(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)
Well, we changed the past, fixed the future and saved the present. That's all.
What was that?
(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.
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.
