Teaser

STOCK FOOTAGE: San Francisco during the day, starting with The Golden Gate Bridge. SUPERIMPOSED beneath the Bridge is “SEPTEMBER, 2031” The stock footage continues to show familiar sites of San Francisco, ending with P3.


EXT. P3 - DAY

The CAMERA FOCUSES on the sign hung on a door: CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, then PANS to the right to show the building next to P3 - Piper Halliwell's restaurant, P4. Despite it being day, the lights inside the restaurant are off and there's a wreath hung on the door. The CAMERA FOCUSES on the sign hung on the door: CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

CUT TO:

INT. P4 – OFFICE

Christopher (CHRIS) Halliwell [26] is sitting at the desk, going through some paperwork. With a tired sigh he rubs his eyes. He opens a drawer and takes out a framed picture.

CHRIS' POV: A picture of him as a child with Piper, one of the pictures we saw on the wall during “Forever Charmed”, the finale of the parent show, Charmed.

Chris reaches out to touch the picture of his mother's face. Again he sighs.

CHRIS:
(to the picture)
I always knew I'd take over the family restaurant someday, Mom. I think I knew it when you first brought me here and put me in my playpen here in the office. But I never dreamed it would be so soon. And somehow I always thought you'd be here to help.

Even as Chris continues talking, the CAMERA PANS to the door. The door slowly opens and DANA Marshall [looks early 20s] enters. Dana watches Chris for a few minutes, her eyes full of sympathy.

CHRIS (cont, o.s.):
And I just feel so alone, Mom. Dad's here, but this is hard on him, very hard. He can hardly do a thing, hardly say a word. He doesn't do much but try to straighten out P3. We’ve closed the club and the restaurant for awhile while we’re trying to, well, adjust, and that means a lot of work, as you would know. As you also know, that’s keeping him busy. Wyatt is still trying to find the demon who, who, well, you know.

And Pru? If Patti hadn't talked to Aunt Phoebs, we'd have no idea how Pru is doing - she went back to school as soon as everything was over and won't take any of our calls.

Dana quietly closes the door.

DANA:
(gently)
You're not alone, Chris. I'm here.

The CAMERA PANS back to Chris, who looks up, a smile on his face that doesn't quite reach his eyes.

CHRIS:
No, I'm not. Thank you so much for coming - it's as if you knew I needed you.

Chris stands up and goes over to Dana. Chris hugs her and kisses her. Dana holds him tightly. Chris lays his head on her shoulder. Chris looks like he wants to break down, but won't quite let himself do it.

DANA:
Chris, I'm sorry, but there's another reason why I came here.

CHRIS:
(sighing, saying the word like it's something sour)
The Elders?

DANA:
Sort of. They know who the demon was who, who....

Dana doesn't have to say anything else.

CHRIS:
Have you told Wyatt?

DANA:
Not yet. I came to you first.

Chris nods.

DANA (cont.):
But I am trusting you to go to Wyatt for help. This demon is strong.

CHRIS:
Tell me about him.

DISSOLVE TO:

STOCK FOOTAGE: San Francisco Memorial Hospital during the day

INT. HOSPITAL – WAITING ROOM

A couple [MR. AND MRS. WINTERS] are sitting nervously on the chairs. WYATT Halliwell [28] enters, dressed in scrubs. There are four INTERNS standing behind him.

WYATT:
Mr. and Mrs. Winters?

The Winterses look up at Wyatt. Mr. Winters jumps straight to his feet and makes his way to stand in front of Wyatt. Mrs. Winters nervously stands up and stands behind Mr. Winters.

MR. WINTERS:
How is she?

WYATT:
I’m glad to say that your daughter’s surgery went well.

MRS. WINTERS:
Thank you, Doctor! Can we see her?

WYATT:
Yes, of course, although she may still be asleep. She’s back in her room.

MR. WINTERS:
Thank you, Dr. Halliwell.

Mr. Winters shakes Wyatt’s hand. Wyatt smiles as he watches the two walk down the corridor, although his smile is sad. Wyatt turns around to face the interns.

WYATT:
I’ve got some personal things to take care of. Go and see Dr. Bailey. She said she will find you something to do this morning.

The interns nod and disperse. Wyatt sighs as he rubs his eyes – similar to the way Chris rubbed his in the previous scene. EBONY West [25] enters behind Wyatt, a chart in her hand.

EBONY:
(professionally)
Dr. Halliwell.

Wyatt turns around. Ebony’s professional look turns into one of concern.

EBONY:
Wy? Is everything okay? You look tired.

WYATT:
I just need a few minutes.

EBONY:
It's only been a week. Maybe you should take more time off.

WYATT:
(forcefully)
I don’t need any more time off!

Ebony is taken aback by Wyatt’s words. Wyatt sighs with an apologetic look.

WYATT:
I’m sorry, Ebi. I just don't get it. Why? Why can I save everyone, everyone except...

EBONY:
(sympathetically)
Except your mom.

Ebony reaches out and takes Wyatt’s hands.

EBONY:
You’re not on your own, Wy.

WYATT:
Yeah, I know.

Wyatt looks deep into Ebony's eyes.

WYATT:
Thank you so much for being here, Ebi. I don't know what I would've done without you. I need you so much.

Ebony smiles sweetly.

EBONY:
The same way I needed you when my parents died. That's how I know how hard this is for you.

Wyatt takes a deep breath and then takes his hands away from Ebony's.

WYATT:
If you don’t mind, I’m gonna take a few minutes for myself before my next surgery.

EBONY:
See you for dinner tonight?

WYATT:
Of course. I’ll see you later, Ebi.

Ebony nods as Wyatt walks away. Ebony watches him leave, the sweet look in her eyes turning into an evil glint.

EBONY:
So you need me, Twice Blessed. Just the way my father planned it.

OFF her evil look:

BLACK OUT.
