MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL
[The Mystic Falls High School football field is all decked out for the commencement ceremony. It is deserted except for Kol, who stands at the podium, and the dead hybrids and witches from the Expression triangle sacrifices who approach him. He taps the microphone before speaking.]
Kol: Welcome back. It was our deaths that allowed this day to come to pass - massacres performed in the name of resurrecting the immortal, Silas. Twelve hybrids, twelve witches, the slaughter of innocents by the so-called hero protectors of Mystic Falls. They risked unleashing hell on earth for their own selfish gains. And today that's exactly what they're going to get.
TITLE CARD AND OPENING CREDITS
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
[Lexi is dancing and rocking out to Bon Jovi in the parlor while Stefan drinks some bourbon straight from the bottle. Damon enters.]
Stefan: Damon! Help me celebrate my 17th high school graduation. [Damon turns off the music.] Hey, you remember my friend, Lexi, of course?
Damon: Lexi, back from the dead. Goody.
[Lexi vamp-runs at Damon and pins him against the wall with a hand over his neck.]
Lexi: What's up, buzzkill?
Damon: [strained] Stefan, you're just gonna sit there and let her enact her ghostly revenge?
Stefan: You reap what you sow, buddy.
Lexi: Let's be very clear: whatever time I have left here, I sure as hell don't plan on wasting on you. You got me?
Damon: Yeah. Got ya.
[Lexi releases Damon and he gasps.]
Damon: So if you and Ric and little Gilbert are all flesh-like and real-seeming, that means something went horribly wrong when Bonnie tried to put that veil up. And here you two are, having dance party USA.
Stefan: You're right. How selfish of me to be indulging in these precious moments with my formerly dead best friend. I should be sacrificing my own happiness for the good of others, right? I should be upstairs grooming my hero-hair.
Damon: Are you drunk?
Stefan: I don't know, Mom, am I?
[Taking the bottle from Stefan, Lexi chuckles. Damon snatches the bottle from Lexi.]
Lexi: Okay.
Damon: Well, I guess that's one way to celebrate our supernatural apocalypse. [He takes a swig from the bottle.] Now, care to hazard any guesses on what the hell went wrong?
MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL
[Bonnie is in the boiler room at the school, on the phone with Caroline who is manning the yearbook table in a hallway of the school. The shots alternate between them.]
Bonnie: I hit kind of a snag.
Caroline: A snag? A snag is a bad yearbook picture. You hit a tsunami. Where are you?
Bonnie: I'm trying to fix it, but I'm running into some trouble. I need to wait until the full moon tonight to have enough power to put the veil back up.
Caroline: Are you telling me that we might graduate right smack in the middle of a ghost-filled Expression Triangle?
[Bonnie glances down at her body lying on the floor. Her grams is with her, looking at it, too.]
Bonnie: Maybe we should just cancel.
Caroline: No, we are not going to cancel. Graduation is the most important event of our lives, the last ceremony of our youth. It is our rite of freaking passage! Hell will freeze over before I let anyone cancel graduation.
Bonnie: Can you not make jokes about hell freezing over? We're not that far off from that already.
Caroline: Just promise me that today is a friend day.
Bonnie: Okay, I promise. I love you.
Caroline: I love you, too.
[They hang up.]
Sheila: Go. I'll make sure no one finds your body. But Bonnie--
Bonnie: I know. Okay? I know I need to tell them, I just can't. They've been through too much already.
Sheila: I know, child. I was just going to say that... Make sure you say your goodbyes.
[Bonnie smiles sadly.]
THE CEMETERY
[Alaric, Jeremy and Elena are eating lunch together.]
Alaric: [through a full mouth] Mm. Oh, my god.
[Elena laughs.]
Jeremy: Mm.
Elena: No grease on the Other Side, huh?
Alaric: You have no idea how much I've missed this. [holds up a bottle of bourbon] And this.
[Elena takes the bottle.]
Alaric: No, hey. Hey!
[Elena takes a swig.]
Jeremy: She just got her humanity back. Let her live a little.
[Jeremy reaches for the bottle but Elena holds it away from him.]
Elena: Hey, you wish.
Jeremy: I'm dead - what are they gonna do, throw me in juvie?
Alaric: Well, at least you'd have a place to live.
[Smiling, Elena starts throwing food at them.]
Elena: You both suck!
Alaric: Hey! Now there it is - that smile. I wasn't sure we were gonna see that again.
[Elena is still smiling, but more sadly, her eyes glistening.]
Elena: I did some pretty terrible things.
[She takes a deep breath.]
Jeremy: Hey, no. No tears. If Caroline was right, we only have until tonight. We need a no-crying rule.
Elena: But the crying's good. It means that I'm finally feeling something, and right now I... [she takes their hands in each of hers] I feel happy.
[They smile back at her. Elena's phone starts ringing. She takes it out and looks at it.]
Elena: It's the Grill - it must be Matt. [answers it] Hey, you went AWOL this morning - what happened?
[It's a familiar, unexpected voice.]
Connor: Hello, Elena. It's your dead friend, Connor. You remember me?
[Elena is shocked.]
A PARKING LOT
[Matt and Rebekah are a wary audience to Alexander as he unloads weapons from Connor's trailer.]
Alexander: A hidden compartment filled with advanced weaponry. Man has evolved from his days of throwing stones.
Rebekah: There is nothing we can do for you Alexander. Please, let us go.
Alexander: I'm not holding you here. Although, I have a feeling that exploding contraption will have a hard time parting with your handsome friend intact.
[Matt is standing on a weight-sensitive explosive device.]
Matt: Just go, Rebekah. I'll be fine.
Rebekah: I'm not leaving you.
[Alexander examines a bottle of venom, smiling in awe.]
Alexander: The soldier, Connor, found a way to siphon venom from a werewolf.
Rebekah: What do you want from us?
Alexander: To fulfill my destiny. The brotherhood of hunters was created for one reason, and one reason alone.
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
[Damon opens the door to find an unexpected visitor.]
Damon: Vaughn?
[Vaughn lifts a guns and shoots Damon in the shoulder. The force of it causes Damon to step back and he groans in pain.]
Vaughn: Got a little message for you, laddie. Straight from the mouth of the witch Qetsiyah.
MYSTIC GRILL
[Connor is still on the phone with Elena. The shots alternate between the Grill and the cemetery.
Connor: We want Silas, and we want the cure.
Elena: I don't know where they are, so I guess I can't help you.
Connor: Huh. Well, you know who's gonna need some help? Grandma and Grandpa Jones, in town for the big high school graduation, along with Auntie Sue and Uncle Mark...
[Alaric motions to Elena that he's going to do something. Elena nods.]
Connor: Matter of fact, everybody here at the Mystic Grill for graduation brunch. You either give me what I want, or they die.
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
[Damon groans as he pulls the bullet out of his shoulder. Vaughn checks his gun.]
Vaughn: Yeah, borrowed it from my jarhead friend, Connor. Shoots wood like lead.
Damon: Come on, man. I didn't kill you.
Vaughn: No, but you left me in that well on that island, where I starved to death. There I was, all alone on the Other Side, till Qetsiyah found me and reminded me of my supernatural destiny - to cure Silas, and then kill Silas. End of story--
[Suddenly Vaughn gags and falls to the floor. Stefan stands behind him, Vaughn's bloody heart in his fist. Damon gapes at him; Stefan merely raises his eyebrows.]
MYSTIC GRILL
[Elena is still talking to Connor over the phone. The shots alternate between them.]
Elena: Please, don't hurt anyone. I'll find Silas and I'll get the cure.
Connor: Good. Get it done.
[He hangs up. Alaric shows up behind him.]
Alaric: So, you get off on terrorizing innocent people?
Connor: And who might you be?
Alaric: The guy responsible for the 18-year-old you just threatened.
Connor: Well, that 18-year-old snapped my neck with her bare hands.
Alaric: And I'm also the guy who showed her how to do that.
[Connor chuckles.]
Connor: That's ironic. You must not know a damn thing about fighting if you're trying to intimidate a dead guy packing C4.
[Connor opens his jacket slightly to reveal he's strapped with explosives.]
Alaric: This is my bar, pal. Nobody's gonna blow it up.
[Connor grins and lifts a detonator in his hand. It clicks and Alaric grabs him with vampire speed and takes him out of the Grill. He explodes offscreen, though they only get far enough that the explosion causes damage to the edge of the restaurant. The Grill patrons scream in fright.]
A PARKING LOT
[Matt is still trapped standing on the explosive device while Rebekah stands beside him. Alexander sits in the doorway of the trailer.]
Alexander: Go ahead, sweet Rebekah. Use your vampire powers to whisk him away. I'm sure you can survive the blast of six of these... automobiles. Can he?
Matt: Just ignore him. All right? Let's think about something else. Like graduation. What are your plans - college? Travel? Just because I'm never getting out of this town doesn't mean you shouldn't see the world.
[Rebekah, who has been watching the device nervously as Matt's weight shifts on top of it, looks back up at him.]
Rebekah: It's just been settled. I'm gonna show you life as you've only dreamt it. We'll start in Italy. There's a lovely little church-- [she glances back at Alexander] -- outside San Vittore in Brienno.
Alexander: [nodding] Romantic spot. Popular for weddings.
[Rebekah turns back to Matt.]
Rebekah: And then I'll show you the Northern Lights in the springtime, the Simatai Gorge from atop the Great Wall of China, every inch of the Louvre.
Matt: [smiling] China, Paris, the Northern Lights... It's a date.
Rebekah: We'll see it all when we're done here because we can. We're alive. [She looks scornfully back at Alexander.] We're not gonna be stuck as ghosts in misery on the Other Side.
[Alexander angrily gets up.]
Alexander: All right, you're done now.
[He throws the dagger he's holding at Matt. Rebekah moves to catch it and does, but starts to knock Matt off balance. He teeters atop the device as Rebekah regains her footing, bracing against Matt. She throws the dagger away to the ground.]
Rebekah: I've got you.
[Matt laughs nervously at the close call.]
MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL
[Bonnie walks down a deserted hallway, wearing her graduation gown and holding her cap. Katherine joins her smoothly from a side corridor.]
Katherine: I don't think red's really your color, Bon-Bon.
Bonnie: And here I was hoping the ghost of anyone would've killed you already.
Katherine: Funny you should mention death, because I'm here to collect that immortality you've promised me.
Bonnie: Funny you still think you're going to get it. I told you, Qetsiyah's the only witch who knows the immortality spell. If she was a no-show, you're out of luck.
[Katherine moves to block Bonnie's way and they stop walking.]
Katherine: See, here's the thing, Bonnie: I can't disagree with you, because I have been feeling out of luck lately. But you know who has been getting all of my luck? My beloved doppelgänger, Elena. My shadow-self is living a better life than I am, so if I don't get that immortality, I may just have to get rid of her altogether.
Bonnie: Did you just threaten my best friend?
[Katherine makes a face.]
Bonnie: I could crush your skull without even flinching.
Katherine: Go ahead. Make your move.
[As she speaks, a group of students enters the hallway. Bonnie turns to look at them, and Katherine disappears.]
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
[Damon is rubbing his shoulder uncomfortably as he checks himself in the mirror in his room. Elena knocks on the doorframe to announce herself.]
Elena: Hey.
Damon: Hey.
Elena: So, I think there's some stuff you and I need to talk about.
Damon: Yes, we do. But first-- [He walks over to his bedside table, opens a small chest and pulls out a box. Walking over to Elena, he presents her with the cure.] Consider it a graduation present.
Elena: Damon, I can't take that.
Damon: Sure you can. Looks like it might be cherry-flavored.
Elena: [laughing] I'm not saying I don't want it - obviously I want it. But... that's the only one. There's only one cure. And the hunters have made it pretty clear that they're willing to kill everyone in Mystic Falls until they get it.
Damon: Elena-- [he puts the cure into her hand and folds her fingers over it] --take the damn thing. I want you to take it.
[Elena hesitates over it, but finally puts it back in Damon's hand.]
Elena: I can't.
Damon: Well, I guess that answers the sire bond question. [The floor creaks. Damon looks over Elena's shoulder.] You gonna help a brother out, or are you just gonna lurk?
[Elena turns to see Jeremy leaning against the doorframe.]
Jeremy: Look, Elena. You're my sister and I love you, no matter what you choose.
Damon: How is it even when you're dead, you're the bane of my existence?
[Downstairs, Lexi crouches near Vaughn's body while talking to Stefan, who empties a blood bag into two glasses.]
Lexi: So, the veil's down until tonight, he dies and goes to the Other Side, and what? Comes back all over again? How long does that take?
[Stefan hands a glass of blood to Lexi.]
Stefan: What, they don't give you a rulebook over there?
Lexi: [laughing] You know, you're missing your chance to weigh in on the Great Elena Gilbert Cure Debate.
Stefan: What am I supposed to do, tell her it's her choice? Because that worked out so well. You know, it's funny, those two are in there arguing about how to protect the world, and they have yet to address their biggest issue.
Lexi: Enlighten me.
Stefan: The sire bond's gone. Elena's emotions are back. She finally knows exactly how she feels.
Lexi: And what if whatever she feels is for you?
[Stefan considers the question for a moment.]
Stefan: She's the love of my life. I'd go back to her in a heartbeat. But, if that's not how she feels, then maybe that's exactly what I need to hear to get my ass out the door. Maybe I will move to Australia. I can live in a yurt.
[Lexi laughs.]
Lexi: Cheers to that.
[They clink glasses. Suddenly Vaughn revives and stands up.]
[Upstairs, Damon and Elena are still arguing while Jeremy observes.]
Damon: Come on, we don't need the cure for Silas - he's a calcified statue.
[Damon groans uncomfortably.]
Elena: What was that?
Damon: Nothing.
Elena: Take off your shirt.
Damon: Elena, there are children present.
Elena: Fine.
[She pulls the collar of his shirt down to reveal the wound in his shoulder. He cringes in pain.]
Elena: Damon, why isn't this healed?
Damon: Because the bullet was laced with werewolf venom, okay? The hunters are dicks.
[Elena turns away and starts pacing.]
Elena: We need Klaus. We need his blood.
Damon: Klaus would rather see me die. Plus, Klaus is a thousand miles away sipping Hurricanes on Bourbon Street.
Elena: That wound will kill you!
Jeremy: What about the cure?
Elena: Jeremy's right. If you're human, the werewolf venom won't hurt you.
Damon: And here I was, so moved by your speech to save mankind. [feigns listening] Sounds like Vaughn's awake. [He walks past Elena.]
Elena: Damon, wait.
[Downstairs, Vaughn is facing Stefan and Lexi when Damon enters behind him. Vaughn turns around.]
Damon: Here.
[He tosses the cure to Vaughn, who catches it.]
Stefan: The hell are you doing?
Damon: Digging up Silas. [He turns and walks to the front door.] You coming, Vaughn, or not?
[Vaughn follows Damon out the front door; Elena arrives just as the door shuts. She turns to Stefan and Lexi, speechless.]
THE QUARRY
[Damon leads Vaughn to the edge of a cliff overlooking the quarry.]
Damon: Here we are.
Vaughn: What is it?
Damon: It's where I dumped Silas. Closed off to hikers, no food for animals, endlessly deep water.
Vaughn: I'm not following you, Damon. Where exactly did you put the body?
[Damon humorously explains each step to Vaughn, indicating direction as necessary.]
Damon: Well, um... well, let me see. So I dragged his stone ass through here, I flung him in that general direction, then he tumbled down into those weeds... I kind of lost him in the rocks. The thing about physics... wait, what is it? It's, ah, distance equals velocity times time? Guess I should've told you to bring some scuba gear, huh?
A PARKING LOT
[Rebekah and Matt are still braced against each other while Alexander circles them.]
Alexander: Don't you two look cozy?
[He walks into the trailer, leaving the two alone for a moment.]
Matt: So... he seems nice.
[Rebekah starts to laugh but stops herself.]
Rebekah: Don't make jokes - I'll laugh and you'll fall.
[Matt speaks in a low voice once Alexander is out of sight.]
Matt: I'm wearing the Gilbert ring. I can't be killed by anything supernatural, so maybe if you're the one who detonates the bomb, then I won't die.
Rebekah: Absolutely not. You'll blow into a billion pieces, the ring with it.
Matt: There's only one way to find out.
Rebekah: [nodding] Fine, okay. The first rule of truly living: do the thing you're most afraid of.
[She kisses him passionately. When they break apart, Matt looks down to see that Rebekah has stepped onto the device in his place.]
Matt: What are you doing?
Rebekah: I can't be killed and you can't miss graduation. Please, go.
Matt: No.
Rebekah: Run!
[He hesitates a second longer, glances at the trailer, then takes off running. Alexander comes back out of the trailer, angry.]
Alexander: What have you done?
Rebekah: I finally chose one of the good ones.
[Rebekah runs off the device with vampire speed and the parking lot explodes.]
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
[Elena is pacing while discussing with Stefan what to do next.]
Elena: We have to do something. If those hunters give the cure to Silas--
Stefan: They're not giving it to Silas. Wherever Damon is taking Vaughn right now, it's to stall, because Damon hasn't had time to bury Silas' body yet. [Elena stops pacing.] And that's all you need to know right now.
Elena: Okay, fine. We're stalling the hunters, but Damon is still dying.
Stefan: It was one bullet, and it was only laced. We still have a little bit of time. I will go to New Orleans myself and I will beg Klaus if I have to.
Jeremy: Then it's settled. You're going to your graduation. [Jeremy enters the room carrying Elena's cap and gown.]
Elena: Gradua-- no, Jer, I never even sent in my college applications.
Jeremy: I don't care. Mom and Dad would kill you if there wasn't a photo of you in your graduation getup.
Elena: Jer, no. Not if you can't be there.
Jeremy: Lexi'll keep me company. You're going.
[Elena finally relents and walks over to him to take her cap and gown.]
Elena: Let's go graduate.
[They smile at each other.]
MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL
[The students, all in caps and gowns, are milling about the football field getting ready for the ceremony. Caroline is leaving a message on Klaus' voicemail.]
Caroline: Klaus, now is not the time to decide that you are over me. I'm gonna call you every 10 minutes until you get your ass here to save Damon's life.
[She hangs up as she reaches Bonnie.]
Caroline: Where is everyone?
Matt: [arriving suddenly] I'm here.
Caroline: Where have you been?
Matt: Oh, you know, making plans for the summer, dodging death by vampire hunter.
Bonnie: Where's Elena? We can't do this without her.
[Elena arrives right then with Stefan.]
Elena: I'm here. [She hugs Bonnie.] Thank you for today.
Caroline: I can't believe it. We're actually all here. We are all here together! Bonnie Bennett, are you crying?
Bonnie: It's our last hurrah before you guys go off to college.
Caroline: Before we go off to college.
Elena: I... kinda sorta missed the deadline. You know, being an emotionless bitch.
Caroline: Well, the perks of being a vampire - we can go wherever we wanna go. We can choose our own roommates. We could - we could get a triple room!
[Elena and Stefan chuckle at Caroline's enthusiasm, while Bonnie smiles with tears in her eyes.
Bonnie: I'm happy we're all here.
Caroline: Aw - group hug!
Stefan: Ah, I don't - I don't hug...
Caroline: Oh, get over yourself!
[The five of them close in for a joint hug. Mayor Hopkins opens the ceremony.]
Hopkins: Welcome parents, family, and friends. What a beautiful day for a graduation. Thank you for joining us today on this special day, as we celebrate our graduates. So let's get started. John Albrecht. David Bance. Sarah Beasley. Um, not to play favorites, but I am especially proud of this next graduate, my lovely daughter: Bonnie Bennett!
[Bonnie walks up onto the stage and hugs her father.]
Hopkins: Congratulations. I'm so proud of you, sweetie.
Bonnie: Thanks, Dad.
Hopkins: You're welcome.
Bonnie: For everything.
[He seems to sense something off about Bonnie's mood, but she smiles and leaves the stage.]
Hopkins: Savannah Davis. Matt Donovan. William Duncan. Caroline Forbes. Congratulations.
Caroline: Thank you.
Hopkins: Matt Freeman. Elena Gilbert. Congratulations.
Elena: Thank you.
[In the audience Bonnie, seated among the students, claps for Elena when Kol suddenly leans forward from the row behind her to speak in her ear.]
Kol: Greetings, little witch.
Bonnie: [not looking at him] I thought Stefan got rid of you.
Kol: He did, and I spent the night crawling out of a cement grave. [He looks behind his row.] Isn't that the witch your friend Caroline killed?
[Bonnie turns and is surprised to see Aja sitting a few rows back.]
Kol: And over there, that's my hybrid friend, Adrian. Also dead. In fact, these seats are scattered with two dozen supernatural faces, all of whom have reason to lash out since their lives were sacrificed in order to make your Expression triangle. All they're waiting on is word from me.
Bonnie: The veil goes back up tonight. Don't you have anything better to do than harrass me and my friends?
Kol: [laughing] Well, that's the thing. I don't want the veil to go back up. In fact, I want you to drop it completely, so I and my fallen friends can live, Bonnie. It's time to pay the piper.
[Inside the school, Bonnie leads Kol into the boiler room.]
Bonnie: The Kol I remember was adamantly against hell on earth.
Kol: I was, till I was in hell. Now I would very much like to be back on earth.
[Kol finally notices Bonnie's body lying on the ground.]
Kol: What's this?
Bonnie: It's me. I died last night. I'm a ghost, and I want the same thing you want. I don't want to be on the Other Side with unfinished business. I want my parents to see me off to college, I want to decorate my dorm room with my best friends. I want to stay here, Kol. More than anything.
Kol: Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it together.
[He starts walking towards Bonnie, but is stopped suddenly, as though an invisible wall stands between them.]
Kol: What have you done?
[He tries to leave through the door they came in, but again is blocked by the magical barrier.]
Bonnie: This will hold you till dark. Then, when the veil is back up, this town will be rid of you for good.
Kol: But everything you just said--
Bonnie: It was true. But we don't always get what we want, do we?
[SCENE_BREAK]
THE QUARRY
[Damon and Vaughn are still at the edge of the cliff. Vaughn looks down into the quarry while holding a gun aimed back at Damon.]
Damon: [imitating Vaughn's accent] What's wrong, laddie? Can't swim?
[Vaughn looks back at Damon and notices his wound creeping up his neck.]
Vaughn: The hell happened to you?
Damon: [looking down] Oh. Well, would you look at that. That is nasty.
Vaughn: Connor... [He laughs, looking at his gun.] He must've laced these bullets with werewolf venom.
Damon: Ding-ding-ding. Not as dumb as you sound.
[Vaughn suddenly shoots Damon in the leg. Damon groans in pain, clutching at the new wound.]
Vaughn: This was all a lie, eh? You knew you were a dead man. [He pulls the cure, which is on a string about his neck, out from under his shirt.] Well, you don't get this back. Where'd you put Silas?
[Damon laughs softly. Vaughn shoots him square in the chest and Damon falls to his knees.]
Vaughn: One more jolt of werewolf toxin, and you'll be dead within minutes. [shouting] Where's Silas?
[Vaughn has his gun aimed at Damon's head, but Damon doesn't respond. Just as it seems Vaughn is about to pull the trigger, Alaric shows up, snaps Vaughn's neck and swings him swiftly into the quarry. Alaric turns to Damon.]
Alaric: Oops.
Damon: [weakly] One slight problem.
[Alaric holds up the cure, dangling on the string.]
Alaric: You mean this?
Damon: Yes. Yes, that.
MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL
[Mayor Hopkins finishes reading the names. Alaric talks to Stefan over the phone; the shots alternate between Stefan on the school grounds and Alaric at the quarry.]
Alaric: I would love nothing more than to get out of here before Vaughn comes back to life, but Damon won't take the cure. He wants it for Elena.
Stefan: Okay, just hang on a little longer. Caroline's calling Klaus again.
[Caroline hangs up her phone, shaking her head.]
Alaric: Stefan, we are past the point of Hail Mary phone calls. What do you want me to do, stand here and watch him die, or force-feed him the cure? [Elena casts a significant look at Stefan, who remains silent.] Stefan?
[Suddenly a high-pitched noise causes Stefan, Caroline and Elena to clutch at their heads in pain. Aja and the other dead witches approach them.]
Aja: Remember us, Caroline?
[She holds her arm out, casting whatever spell is hurting the vampires, until suddenly Klaus shows up, throws a cap like a disk at Aja and it beheads her. Her headless body falls to the ground and the noise stops.]
Klaus: There are plenty more of these to go around. Who's next? I can do this all day.
[Caroline turns to Klaus, smiling.]
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
[Damon, all healed up, strides across his room bare-chested. He's starting to put a shirt on when Elena arrives.]
Damon: Hi.
Elena: Are you feeling better?
Damon: Yeah.
Elena: So it's all healed up?
Damon: Fresh as a daisy.
Elena: Good.
[Elena slaps a hand hard across Damon's face.]
[Downstairs, Lexi, Alaric, and Stefan settle down with drinks.]
Lexi: Ouch.
Alaric: Yeah, I taught her that swing.
[Lexi laughs.]
Stefan: You know it's not polite to eavesdrop, right?
Lexi: Hey, I'm short on time here. Don't rob me of what little joy I have.
[Elena walks into the room.]
Elena: Anyone seen Jeremy?
Alaric: Oh, he went to see Bonnie. He'll be back later. You know, before... well, you know.
Elena: Yeah. Stefan, can I, um... can I have a moment?
Stefan: Sure.
[They leave the room together. Lexi turns to Alaric.]
Lexi: This could get interesting.
Alaric: Usually does.
Lexi: So, the Other Side... Not exactly a party, is it?
Alaric: I've lived... better.
Lexi: You know there's something else out there, right? There has to be. Silas' whole agenda was to find peace with his one true love, and whatever 'peace' is... it's out there. I figure once we've served our time for all the bad things we've done, then it's just about letting go, moving on.
Alaric: And how are we supposed to do that when the knuckleheads we care about can't seem to keep their lives straight?
Lexi: Yeah...
[Stefan and Elena talk in another room.]
Stefan: So, what's up?
Elena: Honestly, Stefan, I just wanted to thank you. For sticking by me when I was at my worst, for believing that I was still in there. Even after everything I put you through, you... you never gave up on me.
Stefan: I, ah... I kind of owed you one.
[They smile at each other. After a moment, Elena holds out her hand, closed-fisted.]
Elena: Here.
[Stefan holds out a hand and she puts the cure into it.]
Elena: It's yours. I want you to have it.
Stefan: No, Elena, I'm not gonna--
Elena: Stefan. The only person worse at being a vampire than me is you. Human blood is your downfall. You got the raw end of the vampire deal. The rest of us will be fine, we'll survive. I mean, you taught us. You deserve whatever you want out of life. [She folds his fingers over the cure.] You deserve this.
[Elena stands holding Stefan's closed fist in her hands.]
MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL
[Caroline stands on the football field in front of the commencement stage. Klaus approaches her.]
Caroline: How'd you get here so fast?
Klaus: I was already on my way.
[Caroline raises her eyebrows; Klaus draws a piece of paper out of the inside of his coat.]
Klaus: I received your graduation announcement. It was... very subtle. [Caroline shuts her eyes, smiling.] I assume you're expecting cash?
Caroline: That, or a mini fridge.
Klaus: Well, I had considered offering you a first class ticket to join me in New Orleans... but I knew what your answer would be. So, I opted for something I knew you would accept. [Caroline looks at him, waiting.] Tyler is now free to return to Mystic Falls.
Caroline: What?
Klaus: He's your first love. I intend to be your last, however long it takes. [He kisses her on the cheek.] Congratulations, Caroline.
[Caroline laughs softly, unexpectedly elated.]
Klaus: Let's get out of here, before 12 angry hybrids decide to pick a fight.
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
[Damon watches the fire burn in the fireplace. Elena enters the room and strides toward him with purpose.]
Damon: I wanted to apologize...
[Elena crosses her arms in front of her.]
Elena: Good.
Damon: Let me finish. I said I wanted to. And then I realized, I'm not sorry.
Elena: You would rather die than be human, and you expect me to be okay with that?
Damon: I didn't say you were supposed to be okay with it, I just said I'm not sorry. But you know what I really am? Selfish, because I make bad choices that hurt you. Yes, I would rather have died than be human. I'd rather die right now than spend a handful of years with you, only to lose you when I'm too old and sick and miserable and you're still you. I'd rather die right now than spend my last final years remembering how good I had it and how happy I was, because that's who I am, Elena, and I'm not gonna change. And there's no apology in the world that encompasses all the reasons that I'm wrong for you.
[Elena looks at Damon for a long moment.]
Elena: Fine, then I'm not sorry either. I'm not sorry that I met you. I'm not sorry that knowing you has made me question everything, that in death you're the one that made me feel most alive. You've been a terrible person, you've made all the wrong choices, and of all the choices that I've made this will prove to be the worst one. But I am not sorry that I'm in love with you. I love you, Damon. I love y--
[Damon walks to Elena and kisses her passionately.]
[In another room, Stefan struggles to keep control over his face. Lexi walks up behind him and places a hand on his shoulder.]
Lexi: Now who's eavesdropping?
[Stefan places his hand on top of Lexi's.]
[Later, Stefan is loading the car with Silas' body when Damon walks outside.]
Damon: Stefan?
Stefan: Think the quarry will be deep enough to bury Silas?
Damon: Yeah, I don't think anyone's gonna stumble on him there.
Stefan: Yeah.
[Stefan continues to load the car.]
Damon: You want me to, ah--
Stefan: No, it's all right. I got Lexi coming with me.
Damon: [under his breath] Yeah.
[Damon starts to walk back inside.]
Stefan: Hey, Damon.
Damon: Yeah?
Stefan: I'm not happy about Elena... but I'm not not-happy for you, either. I just want you to know that.
Damon: Thanks, brother.
[Damon walks back inside.]
MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL - UNDERGROUND CAVE
[Jeremy walks into the cave to meet Bonnie.]
Jeremy: Hey.
Bonnie: Hey.
Jeremy: I needed to see you.
Bonnie: I need to close the veil, Jer. The hybrids, and the hunters--
Jeremy: I get it. I'm ready. I just... wanted to be with you when it happened.
Bonnie: Did you and Elena...?
Jeremy: I can't. I can't say goodbye to her. We said 'no tears' and... I left her a letter. She'll find it when all this is over. I'm ready.
[Bonnie closes her eyes and the flames in the torches flare up.]
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
[Alaric is gazing out the window when Damon returns. Damon goes straight for the decanter of bourbon and pours a couple drinks.]
Alaric: Moon's full.
Damon: Yeah.
Alaric: Where's Elena?
Damon: She's trying to find Bonnie and Jeremy. She's worried about the time.
[Alaric smiles at Damon.]
Damon: What?
Alaric: You got the girl, man.
Damon: [as though he still can't quite believe it] I got the girl.
Alaric: Now don't screw it up.
[Damon looks back down at the drinks.]
Damon: Well, with you looking over my shoulder, how can I?
[He looks back up to see that Alaric has disappeared.]
THE ROAD
[Lexi and Stefan are driving.]
Lexi: New York?
Stefan: Too close.
Lexi: Vegas!
Stefan: Ugh, no. Too touristy.
Lexi: Look, I know you think I'm joking, but you are leaving. You just graduated for the millionth time. It's time to start living your life.
Stefan: What if Elena was... the one?
Lexi: She was. And she will always be an epic love. Contrary to popular belief, there are actually multiple ones - especially for a vampire. The only way to find another is to let go, and move on.
[Stefan watches the road for a moment as he drives.]
Stefan: I've never been to Portland.
[He looks over at the passenger seat, but Lexi has disappeared.]
Stefan: See ya, Lexi.
MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL
[Elena opens the door to the boiler room and enters.]
Elena: Bonnie, Jer, are you guys here?
Kol: Well, well.
[Kol appears behind Elena.]
Kol: Speaking of unfinished business.
[He attacks Elena, throwing her to the ground. Elena braces herself but just as suddenly as the attack started, Kol has vanished. She gets up, realizing what must have happened, but doesn't have more than a moment to let it sink in before she hears a noise nearby. She turns and Katherine is there.]
Katherine: Happy graduation, cupcake.
[She slams Elena against a wall.]
[In the underground cave, Bonnie continues to do a spell with her eyes closed while Jeremy waits. She opens her eyes.]
Bonnie: It's almost closed.
Jeremy: So this is it? 'Cause there were a million things I wanted to say to you, but now nothing seems quite right.
Bonnie: Then don't say anything.
[She walks to him and kisses him. The torches flare up before going out, leaving them in darkness. Jeremy gasps, backs away and clutches at his chest.]
Jeremy: What's happening?
Bonnie: Oh, my god.
[Bonnie gives a small, triumphant laugh.]
Jeremy: What is it?
Bonnie: It worked, Jer. I did a spell that brought you back. I didn't think it would work, but I - I closed the veil and you're still... here.
Jeremy: I'm alive?
[Bonnie nods, and Jeremy struggles for words. He rushes toward her, but his face falls when she touches his neck.]
Jeremy: I can't feel your hand. What's going on, Bonnie? Why can't I feel you?
Bonnie: It's okay.
Jeremy: Bonnie, what did you do?
Bonnie: I have the witches, and my grams... You can see ghosts, we can talk whenever we want.
Jeremy: No... No! No, you can't be dead.
Bonnie: Do me this one favor: you tell Elena and Caroline that I'm spending the summer with my mom.
Jeremy: I can't. They need to know.
Bonnie: For the first time in forever, my friends are okay. I don't want to take that from them.
[She walks past Jeremy and he turns to watch her go.]
Bonnie: I'm gonna be okay, I promise.
[Bonnie walks over to her grams, takes her hand, and they walk away together.]
LOCKWOOD MANSION
[Matt walks to the front door and opens it to see Rebekah.]
Matt: Hey... What are you doing here?
Rebekah: I just wanted to see if you were okay. Rough day and whatnot.
Matt: Thanks. Look, I'd invite you in, but I promised Tyler I was gonna keep this a low-vampire zone.
[Rebekah nods, understanding, then hesitates over her next words.]
Rebekah: I know that we were under duress today, so... whatever, you know, plans that we were making... I understand if you don't want to.
Matt: You and I... this isn't gonna work. I need to keep my love life a low-vampire zone, too, okay?
Rebekah: [smiling] Of course. I get it.
[She turns to leave, but stops when Matt speaks again.]
Matt: So whatever happens on the road, stays on the road, all right? [Rebekah, grinning, turns back round.] That little wedding town in Italy? Don't get any ideas about turning me into a vampire so that we can live eternally ever after, you know what I mean?
Rebekah: I'm sorry, are you saying...?
Matt: I've never set one foot outside of this town. I have no college plans, no idea what the future holds for me... But I do know that it's time that I start truly living. And, since you almost killed me this year, I figured it's your obligation to show me how.
Rebekah: [grinning] Okay.
MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL
[Katherine throws Elena against a door.]
Elena: What are you doing?
Katherine: Would you believe I'm having a bad day?
[She picks Elena up and throws her against a wall of lockers. Elena gets up but Katherine speeds over and kicks up her leg to press her booted foot over Elena's neck.]
Katherine: It started when Bonnie denied me my Silas-like immortality.
Elena: Of course, because Katherine Pierce can't be happy with good old vampire-caliber immortality.
[Elena finally manages to throw off Katherine's foot and uses her leverage to slam Katherine to the ground. Katherine immediately slams Elena back against another wall of lockers. Elena rips off one of the locker doors and swings against at Katherine's face. Katherine grabs onto the door.]
Katherine: I deserved it. I never had a graduation, or a prom, or, you know, a life. But you did.
[Katherine swings the door into Elena's face, sending her back a pace.]
Katherine: You have everything, and it's not because you're a good little girl who deserves happiness, it's because you stole mine.
[Katherine throws the door at Elena, who ducks and the door lodges into the other lockers.]
Elena: I stole your happiness? You killed my brother!
[Katherine runs at Elena, but Elena blocks Katherine and throws her down the hall. Katherine gets back up.]
Katherine: I'll admit, that was nasty.
[Yelling in fury, Elena rushes at Katherine, who twists Elena's arm and throws her at a fire emergency case - the glass in the door of it shatters as Elena slams against it. Elena struggles on the floor as Katherine walks over, sees a janitor's mop propped against the wall and breaks off the wooden handle.]
Katherine: I have nothing. [She beats Elena with the stick.] But I'm about to change that. [She kicks Elena.]
Elena: Kicking someone while they're down... classy till the end, Katherine.
Katherine: [laughing] Your end.
[She stabs the broken end of the stick into Elena's throat. Elena gulps and struggles against it as Katherine digs it in deeper.]
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
[Flashback to earlier, when Elena was trying to give the cure to Stefan.]
Elena: You deserve whatever you want out of life. You deserve this.
Stefan: Listen... I'm glad you're okay with who you are now. But every single thing I did to get this, I did for you, so that the choice of whether you wanted to be a vampire or not would always be yours.
MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL
[Katherine pulls the stick out of Elena's throat and thrusts her hand into Elena's chest, grabbing hold of her heart. Elena frantically reaches into a pocket in her jacket.]
Katherine: Bye-bye, little girl.
[Elena finally pulls the cure out of her pocket and shoves it into Katherine's mouth and forces her jaw to close around it. Katherine's eyes widen as the cure dissolves in her mouth, and falls to the floor beside Elena, unconscious.]
Elena: Have a nice human life, Katherine.
THE QUARRY
[Stefan unloads the canvas bag that contains Silas' remains, but when he tosses it to the ground its contents sound like a bunch of loose pieces. He kicks it and reaches inside to find shards of ordinary stone.]
Elena/Silas: Don't bother. I'm not there.
[Silas approaches him from behind, and Stefan turns and stands.]
Stefan: Silas. You were stone. They saw you, the spell worked.
Elena/Silas: That's the funny thing about spells - they're bound by Nature. Nature demands balance, so every spell has a loophole. The spell that turned me into stone was bound by a witch - a living witch. So when that witch died, the spell broke.
Stefan: Bonnie? Bonnie's not dead.
Elena/Silas: It doesn't matter, does it? And here's where the mystery of me comes full circle. I created the immortality spell two thousand years ago. I can never die, so Nature needed to find a balance - a version of me that could die. A shadow-self - a doppelgänger.
Stefan: So, this is finally your real face? You're another one of them?
Elena/Silas: Not exactly.
[Silas' reflection in the car window shows a face identical to Stefan's, and Silas takes on his true form.]
Silas: Hello, my shadow-self.
[Silas approaches Stefan and thrusts his hand into Stefan's body.]
Silas: Do you have any idea what it's like to starve for two thousand years?
[He pulls his hand out and Stefan falls to his knees. Silas puts Stefan into the body-sized safe, locks him in and tips it over the edge of the cliff into the quarry. Inside the safe, Stefan bangs against it as it begins to fill with water, shouting out as the water engulfs his face.]

[Scene: Magic School. In the great hall, Chris stands on the ladder and pulls out a book from the bookshelf. Paige and Gideon are below, writing a spell.]
Chris: You know, your time travel section is due for a serious overhaul. I mean, I can find more information Googling.
Gideon: Googling?
Chris: Never mind. (Chris steps down.) Any luck with that spell yet?
Paige: You mean since the last two minutes you asked me?
Chris: Look, I'm just getting nervous here, okay? My birthday is in two days, and if I'm not outta here before I'm born
Paige: What? Something bad you don't know about could happen?
Chris: I just don't want to take any chances. Besides, I came here and did what I had to do, and that was to save Wyatt. Now it's time for me to go home.
(Piper and Leo walk in. Leo's pushing Piper's suitcase.)
Paige: Sooner than you might think.
Chris: Oh, no. No, no, no. Not yet. You're early.
Piper: Oh, relax. I'm just getting a jump on things. I'm not in labor. I'm sending some stuff back to the house.
Chris: Just don't scare me, okay?
Leo: What's the matter? Isn't the spell ready?
Gideon: I think it's ready. It should work.
Leo: Should work? What do you mean?
Gideon: Well, there are no guarantees with time travel, Leo. You should know that better than anyone. Sorry. There's always a chance that something might go wrong.
Leo: All right. We're not taking any chances.
Chris: We might have to. I'm running out of time here.
Leo: No. I'm not sending you through a one-way portal unless I know where you're gonna land.
Gideon: You can never be certain, unless, of course, you went too. And even then
Leo: All right. Let's just forget the spell and start to work on that potion again.
Gideon: But the spell has a better chance of working. It's the Power of Three.
Leo: Yes, but if something goes wrong, he'll have extra potion with him and he can come right back.
Piper: I agree. It sounds safer, so why don't you guys get to work on that? Paige, can you orb these home for me? Just squeeze them into the nursery or something.
Paige: Nursery?
Piper: You did clean out the nursery, right?
Paige: Yeah. No. I was working on the spell. I'm sorry.
Piper: Well, you better hurry, or else Baby Chris will be sleeping in your room.
Paige: Yeah, don't worry. I'm all over it.
(She goes over to the bags and orbs out.)
Piper: Don't forget diapers. Lots of diapers.
Chris: Okay. Gotta get outta here.
[Scene: Gideon's office. Gideon comes in and closes the door. He goes over to a curtain and pulls it back, revealing a mirror.]
Gideon: They're preparing to send the boy home. (Gideon sits down in a chair. His reflection, Evil Gideon, stays standing.) It's time.
Evil Gideon: For our plan to work, we have to get the sisters
Gideon: And Leo and Chris out of the way. Don't worry. We will.
Opening Credits
[Scene: Outside Halliwell Manor. Phoebe gets out of her car and heads toward the Manor. A woman walks over to her.]
Woman: Hello, Phoebe. Excuse me, Phoebe. Hello.
(Phoebe stops and turns around.)
Phoebe: Hey, Mrs. Noble. What's up?
Mrs. Noble: What's up is you parked in my driveway again.
Phoebe: Yeah. Unfortunately, there's nowhere else to park.
Mrs. Noble: So I should suffer?
Phoebe: Well, you know, Piper's brining home the baby in a couple of days, and I did a little shopping
Mrs. Noble: This is getting to be a real problem.
Phoebe: You know what? Just do me a favor. Let me run inside and put these bags down, and then I'll come outside and move the car. (A police car pulls up.) You called the patrol guy?
Mrs. Noble: This is the third time this week you've blocked me.
Phoebe: Yeah, well if your dumpster didn't take up half the block, then I wouldn't have to park in your driveway.
(Mrs. Noble's jaw drops. The patrol officer comes over.)
Mrs. Noble: This is against neighborhood association rules.
Phoebe: (To Patrol Officer) Excuse me, can you write her a citation for that ugly eyesore dumpster there, please?
Patrol Officer: Homeowner's got a permit.
Phoebe: I don't have time for this.
(She leaves. Patrol Officer places a ticket on Phoebe's car.)
[Scene: Piper's bedroom. Paige is trying to put the bassinet together. Phoebe enters.]
Phoebe: Oh, look at how cute. I remember when baby Wyatt used to fit in there.
(Phoebe puts down her bags.)
Paige: This is not cute. This is the bassinet from hell. Do you know how to put this together?
Phoebe: No, that would be a Leo thing. I still can't believe we're bringing home a baby.
(Paige sits on the bed.)
Paige: Yeah, well, this baby's not gonna have anywhere to sleep.
Phoebe: I know. What made us wait so long to do this baby room?
Paige: We were busy trying to keep Wyatt from turning evil.
Phoebe: Here, let me help you.
(She takes off her jacket.)
Paige: Yeah, which I'm glad we did, but it just means that he's gonna need a bedroom.
(Phoebe picks up the bassinet.)
Phoebe: Yeah, well, even if he was evil, we'd need another bedroom.
Paige: Yeah, but now with everybody coming home plus one, we're a room short.
Phoebe: Well, I guess I can sleep on the couch. I just really think we need to focus on the baby right now.
Paige: And on getting Chris home. Oh, remember him? You know? The nephew? The one you've been avoiding?
Phoebe: I am not.
Paige: Okay, so why weren't you helping Gideon and I with the spell?
Phoebe: Because I was helping Leo trying to find the burdock root. It was very hard to find. It's back-ordered everywhere. (She puts the bassinet down.) You're right. You know what? We're just gonna get Chris a new bassinet.
(She sits on the bed.)
Paige: I'm gonna miss him, too, you know.
Phoebe: It sucks. I mean, I know he's going back to a better future and all. It's just we're just getting to know him you know?
Paige: I know.
(The doorbell rings.)
Phoebe: I forgot to move my car.
(She leaves the room.)
[Cut to downstairs. Phoebe answers the door.]
Phoebe: Sheila.
(Sheila is standing in front of her, crying.)
Sheila: It's getting to be a habit, isn't it? Me showing up a wreck.
[Time lapse. Phoebe and Sheila are sitting on the couch in the living room. Phoebe hands Sheila a box of tissues. She takes one.]
Sheila: We never fight, that's the thing. At least we never used to, but lately, Darryl's just been so on edge, you know?
Phoebe: Any idea why?
Sheila: Actually, I was hoping you might know.
Phoebe: Me?
Sheila: I went to his work the other day just to say hi and I saw an arrest warrant on his desk, for Chris.
Phoebe: Chris? Are-are you sure?
Sheila: I'm positive. I even asked him about it, if he was gonna make it go away, and that's when he just lost it. He told me to stay out of it and stay away from you girls from now on. Did something happen that I don't know about?
Phoebe: A couple of weeks ago, Darryl got really scared when he was trying to cover up for us, and we felt horrible, you know, but obviously, it really affected him.
Sheila: Enough not to cover for Chris?
Phoebe: He got really scared. Maybe you just need to give him some time.
Sheila: Yeah, but that doesn't help you right now, and it doesn't help Chris. Look, I-I love Darryl, and I-I know this is eating him up inside, but you girls are like family to us. You don't turn your back on family.
(Phoebe smiles.)
[Scene: Magic School. Chris draws a large triquetra symbol with chalk on the wall.]
Chris: I wonder how different the future's gonna be, how much different my life is gonna be. (Chris steps back. Leo walks up to him.)
Leo: I just want you to get home safely. Now remember, if anything seems different, we have another vial of this to get back right away. (Leo gives him a potion.)
Chris: You worry too much, you know that? I'll be fine.
Leo: I'm your father. It's my job to worry. Now listen, when you get back there, you gotta take it easy on Wyatt, okay? You can't hold a grudge.
Chris: Hey, as long as he's not Ruler of All Evil, I'm cool.
Leo: I'm serious. He's gonna be different. Good. He's not gonna remember he wasn't. So if you really want to change the future, you gotta start with a clean slate.
Chris: Okay. Okay, I get it. How about you? Are you starting with a clean slate?
Leo: How do you mean?
Chris: Like you and mom. Look, all I'm saying is I'd like to know where you two are headed before I go back, that's all.
Leo: It's complicated. I'm an Elder. I made a commitment.
Chris: So? It's not like you haven't broken the rules before. I'm living proof of that.
Leo: Yeah. We'll see. Listen, we have enough of this stuff if you want to try a dry run before everybody gets here. What do you think?
Chris: Yeah. Let's do it.
(Leo throws the potion at the triquetra. Before it hits the wall, the potion breaks. Leo and Chris fold their arms.)
Leo: That should have worked. I'll get you home, buddy, I promise.
(Leo turns away. After a moment, Chris does too. Drops of blood appear on the floor, heading out the door.)
[Scene: Gideon's office. The door opens. Gideon appears as he pulls down his hood. He has a cut in his left palm. He TKs the door close. He TKs the curtain open. Evil Gideon is licking the blood of his cut on his right hand.]
Evil Gideon: Their potion almost certainly would have worked.
Gideon: We stopped them just in time, though it
Evil Gideon: Wasn't supposed to hurt. (They pull a large glass shard from their palms.) Shall we?
(They put their palms up toward each other and heal each other.)
Gideons: Thank you.
Gideon: At least now they'll be forced to use our spell.
Evil Gideon: The sooner the better. Wyatt's magic grows stronger by the day.
Gideon: That much power in one being
Evil Gideon: Is bound to turn him
Gideon: Evil.
Evil Gideon: Good. We have to get those that protect him out of the way.
Gideon: Starting with Leo and Chris. (There's a knock on the door. The door opens and Leo pokes his head in.)
Leo: (Echo) Gideon? (He sees him.) Hey, it looks like we're gonna need that spell after all. Is there an echo in here?
Gideon: It's poor acoustics. Have Piper gather her sisters, and I'll get the spell.
Leo: Okay. You know, I don't understand what happened. That potion should have worked.
Gideon: Like I said, time travel is tricky. You will still be escorting your son?
Leo: Well, I think so. I think it's safest, don't you?
Gideon: Absolutely. Gather everyone together. I'll be right along.
(Leo leaves. Gideon goes back to the mirror and meets Evil Gideon.)
Gideons: Here they come.
[Scene: Outside Police Station. A police car pulls up into the drive. Phoebe and Paige run to Darryl.]
Phoebe: Darryl.
Paige: Hey Darryl.
Phoebe: Darryl. Stop. (They stop in front of Darryl.) We just need to talk to you.
Darryl: We have nothing to talk about.
Paige: Look, Chris is going home today to his future home.
Phoebe: Yeah, and we were hoping you know, that you could find it in the goodness of your heart, even though we know that you're mad at us, you know, just, throw away his file.
Paige: The one with the little arrest warrant in it.
Darryl: Apparently, I haven't made myself clear. I am done covering for you. Done. Now if you'll excuse me.
(Darryl tries to walk past them, but Phoebe stops him.)
Phoebe: Darryl, think about it. Okay? The cops are gonna come for Chris, and what are they gonna find? They're gonna find a little itsy-bitsy baby.
Paige: And then they're gonna find us, which risks exposure.
Darryl: Well, maybe you should have thought of that before you broke Chris out of jail. Inspector Sheridan thinks that Chris' breakout was an inside job, which, if I'm not careful, could point back to me. I've got a family to think about, too, you know. (He sees Inspector Sheridan.) Great. (She stops next to him.) Inspector Sheridan.
Sheridan: Have you seen Chris lately?
Phoebe: Chris who?
Sheridan: (To Darryl) When you have a minute.
(Sheridan and Darryl walk into the office.)
Paige: At least Chris isn't gonna have to deal with her in the future.
[Scene: Magic school. Leo pushes Wyatt into the Great Hall. Piper walks in. Chris is there.]
Chris: Where are Phoebe and Paige?
Piper: I'm sure they'll be here soon.
Chris: Soon? Soon is when Dad and I have to go.
Piper: Dad? What do you mean? (To Leo) Wait, you're gonna go too?
Leo: Just long enough to make sure he gets where he needs to be.
Piper: And when exactly where you gonna tell me about this?
Chris: I told him he didn't have to come. I don't need him.
Leo: No. It's too dangerous. Remember the last time you went through a portal? You were almost dinosaur kibble. I have to go.
(Gideon comes in.)
Gideon: Sorry. I just wanted to go over the spell one more time, make a few tweaks.
Piper: Tweaks? Let me see that.
(Piper takes the spell from Gideon's hands. Phoebe and Paige orb in.)
Chris: Finally. Where have you two been?
Paige: Sorry. We were a little, uh held up.
Phoebe: But we're here now, so let's get this show on the road, you know? The clock's a-tickin'. Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Piper: Since when are you in such a hurry to say goodbye?
Phoebe: Well, since something happened with the thing, and the thing, with the thing.
Chris: Huh?
Phoebe: There's a warrant out for Chris's arrest.
Leo: What?
Paige: Yeah. I tried to get Darryl to bury it, but he's not on our side anymore.
Phoebe: It's okay. We've been through worse. We'll get through this. We'll figure it out. And if you get back to the future and we're in jail, you just have to bust us out. (She smiles.) You just go back to that beautiful, peaceful world that you helped create. (She and Chris hug.) I'm really gonna miss you.
Chris: I'll miss you too.
Paige: Aw. Here comes the huggin' part.
(She gives him a hug. Chris hugs Piper.)
Piper: Thank you for coming here. I love you.
Chris: I love you so much, mom.
Piper: Now go on. Hurry. You be safe.
Chris: Thanks for all your help.
Gideon: You did a noble thing in coming here.
(Chris looks at Wyatt and makes a shooting sound.)
Chris: Pow. Be good.
(They turn to the triquetra.)
Piper/Phoebe/Paige: In this place and in this hour, we call upon the ancient power, open the door through time and space. (The portal opens.) Create a path to another place. (Chris and Leo walk into the portal.)
[Scene: Magic School. Leo and Chris walk through the portal and see the Evil Charmed Ones and Evil Gideon standing in front of them. Evil Gideon has a hand on Evil Phoebe's shoulder.]
Chris: Where are we?
[Cut to Magic School. The portal closes. Evil Leo and Evil Chris are there.]
Evil Leo: I have no idea.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[Scene: Magic School. Takes off from before. Gideon walks up toward Evil Leo.]
Gideon: Something's gone wrong. Don't let them leave.
(Evil Leo pushes him backward into Phoebe. They fall down. Chris makes a Darklighter's crossbow appear. He fires an arrow at Paige. Piper freezes it.)
Piper: Are you out of your mind?
(She knocks the arrow down.)
Evil Leo: (To Evil Chris) Follow me.
(They dark orb out. Piper gasps.)
Phoebe: What the hell was that?
(She and Gideon stand up.)
Gideon: I'm not sure.
Paige: You're not sure? Chris just tried to kill me, and you're not sure? We were supposed to send him back to the future, not turn him into a Darklighter.
Piper: Excuse me, people. Those were black orbs. Where did they get black orbs from?
Phoebe: Breathe. Breathe, Piper. You don't wanna go into labor yet.
(Phoebe rubs Piper's stomach.)
Paige: Well?
Gideon: Perhaps the spell wasn't specific enough.
Phoebe: Meaning what?
Gideon: Meaning it worked, obviously. It opened up a portal. Not to another time, but to another world. A parallel world, not just any parallel world. One that's the exact reverse of ours.
Paige: Reverse like what? Reverse like evil?
Gideon: Precisely. You see, it's all part of the grand design. A universe destined to maintain balance. Light and dark, yin and yang, good and evil. For good to prevail in this world, then an equally evil world must also exist.
Paige: Well, that's quite a faulty design, isn't it?
Gideon: No, it's not Paige. Balance is everything. Without it, the cosmos doesn't spin.
Piper: Are you telling me that when our Leo and Chris stepped in there, their evil selves stepped out?
Gideon: Yes. It's a mirror world. Whatever happens there happens here.
Phoebe: So our Leo and Chris are in their evil world.
Piper: Well, we gotta go get them.
Phoebe: You can't go get them. You're not going anywhere.
Paige: Besides, what about those evil fellas that just came through here?
Piper: We'll go get them later.
Gideon: Actually, I think you should go after them now.
Phoebe: Why?
Gideon: Because for every second that they're in our world, they risk throwing off the balance by doing something evil.
[Scene: Golden Gate Bridge. Evil Chris drinks some beer as Evil Leo stands by.]
Evil Leo: You ever see anything so good?
Evil Chris: It's disgusting. Can you believe all the liquor stores are closed in the mornings here? What's up with that?
Evil Leo: Didn't stop you from kicking down the door to get in. (Evil Chris nods.) Why didn't you orb in?
Evil Chris: What's the fun in that?
(He takes another drink. Evil Leo chuckles. Evil Chris drops the beer bottle.)
Evil Leo: Strange. Everything seems the same, but kinda different, you know? It's cleaner, it's happier, it's more civilized.
(A car crash is heard.)
Evil Chris: Now that's what I'm talking about.
Evil Leo: This place makes me sick. I gotta get out of here.
Evil Chris: Gives you an idea of what kind of awful, saccharine future I came from, why I had to come back and change it so bad.
Evil Leo: And I'll always be proud of you for that. You saved Wyatt from turning good. You gave us a second chance. The least I could do is get you back to your future, back to evil.
Evil Chris: Thanks, dad.
Evil Leo: First we gotta get back to our world, though. We're gonna need the Power of Three to do that.
Evil Chris: Well, we can't trust those Pollyanna witches. They're too good. God, who do I have to kill so we can get out of here?
Evil Leo: I think I might know somebody, somebody we can use to force the sisters to help us.
[Scene: Manor. Attic. Phoebe is scrying while Paige gets the crystals.]
Phoebe: I don't understand. If they're just like our Leo and Chris, then why do we need a crystal cage to trap them?
Paige: So they don't try to kill us again, for one thing.
Phoebe: Yeah, I don't think they were trying to kill us. I think that they were just surprised, like we were.
Paige: Yeah, well, I am not taking any chances. Hey, did you get any hits yet?
Phoebe: No, nothing. They must not be doing anything evil.
Paige: Yeah, well, if Gideon's right, it's just a matter of time. (In British accent) Besides, we wouldn't want the cosmos to stop spinning, would we?
Phoebe: It's so weird to think that there are evil twins of us out there doing the exact same things as we are right now.
Paige: I can't think about that. It hurts my brain.
(The crystal drops on the map.)
Phoebe: Oh! I got them.
[Scene: Alleyway. Evil Chris smashes the garbage lid over Darryl, being held by Evil Leo. Darryl's already beaten up. He falls down. Evil Chris tosses the lid aside.]
Darryl: What the hell's wrong with you? I'm a cop.
Evil Leo: Pretty wimpy-looking one too, if you ask me.
Evil Chris: Nothing like our Darryl. I think that's the cheapest suit I've ever seen. What's the matter, huh? Girls not paying you enough?
Darryl: Paying me? What has gotten into you?
(Evil Chris grabs him by the collar.)
Evil Chris: Let's just say I don't like you coming at me in either world. (He throws him across the alley.) This almost isn't any fun.
(Darryl point a gun at them.)
Darryl: I don't care if you are under some kind of spell. Come any closer, I'll shoot. I swear.
Evil Chris: Gun. (The gun black orbs out of his hands and into Evil Chris' hand. He laughs.) Now this is fun.
(He points the gun at Darryl.)
Evil Leo: Not yet. We still need him for leverage. He's no good to us dead. Not yet, anyway.
(He hands Evil Leo the gun. Paige and Phoebe orb in behind Evil Leo and Evil Chris. Paige puts two crystals down.)
Darryl: See? This is the crazy-ass kind of stuff that makes me not wanna have anything to do with you people.
(Paige orbs out.)
Evil Chris: Who are you talking to?
Phoebe: Us.
(They turn around. Phoebe kicks the gun out of Evil Leo's hands.)
Evil Leo: That's not gonna stop us.
(Paige orbs in behind them.)
Phoebe: No, but
Paige: This will.
(Paige puts the crystals down, activating the cage.)
Evil Leo: Son of a bitch.
(He powers up an energy ball. He throws it. It bounces of the cage and they duck.)
Paige: Nice firepower, Leo. I didn't know you had it in you.
Phoebe: Don't go anywhere.
(Phoebe and Paige go to help Darryl. He gets up.)
Darryl: Stay away from me.
Phoebe: Darryl, let us take you to Gideon. He can heal you.
Darryl: No! Stay away!
Paige: Darryl, please.
Darryl: I said no! Damn it! Leave me alone. I don't wanna have anything to do with you people anymore. Don't you understand?
(He leaves.)
Phoebe: Well, I don't think that helped our cause any.
[Scene: Gideon's study. Gideon and Evil Gideon are playing chess at the mirror.]
Gideon: My Charmed Ones will be joining you soon. Are you certain you can keep
Evil Gideon: Mine away? Absolutely, I told them to wait at the manor for the good Leo and Chris to come to them. I'm taking your knight.
(Black knight moves over and smashes the White knight into pieces.)
Gideon: I knew you'd do that. So the next move, of course, is
Evil Gideon: Piper. Once she's in labor, we'll have a clear shot at the boy.
Gideon: If we impress upon her the extent of the danger her sisters are in
Evil Gideon: It will expedite matters.
Gideon: But everything has to happen quickly. We're tinkering here with the grand design, risking its tenuous stability
Evil Gideon: By creating an imbalance of power on one side. I know. But it's a far greater risk to allow Wyatt to grow up.
Gideon: To threaten both worlds, I agree.
(Gideon TKs a White knight and it smashes the Black Queen. Evil Gideon smiles.)
Evil Gideon: I like the way you think.
Phoebe: (From another room) Gideon?
(Gideon stands up.)
Evil Gideon: No echo.
Gideon: A good sign.
(Evil Gideon stands.)
Evil Gideon: They can never know we were behind this.
Gideon: They won't.
(Gideon leaves.)
[Cut to Great Hall. Paige and Phoebe are there. Gideon enters.]
Gideon: Did you catch them?
Paige: Yeah. Stuck them in a classroom, and, you know, they can't orb out of there.
Phoebe: They are a little feistier than the real Chris and Leo. I don't know how we're going to get them to cooperate.
Gideon: Hmm. Well, I'm sure your evil counterparts are anticipating exactly the same problems since, other than morality, you're one and the same.
Phoebe: How does that help us figure out what we're supposed to do?
Gideon: Perhaps you should trade yourselves. You go into their world, they'll come into ours. You can each retrieve your respective Leo and Chris.
Paige: Kind of makes sense.
Phoebe: And what about your evil counterpart? Will he be hip to this plan?
Gideon: I have every confidence that he will be waiting there exactly as I am here. But remember, good or evil, we're all after the same thing  Leo and Chris returned and the cosmic balance restored.
Phoebe: Get Piper. We're gonna need the Power of Three.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[Scene: Magic School. Mirror world. A portal opens and Phoebe and Paige walks through. They see the Magic School darker and more evil.]
Paige: Okay, where is everybody? Isn't Piper supposed to be here?
Phoebe: This is weird. I don't think we should be here. We should get out of here.
(Suddenly an energy ball flies at them. They scream and duck. Evil Gideon walks up to them.)
Evil Gideon: What are you doing? You're not supposed to be here.
(Paige and Phoebe look back at the portal. It closes.)
[Cut to Good Magic School. Piper sees the portal close.]
Piper: Why didn't they come through? Where are they?
Gideon: I don't know. (Piper takes panicked breath. She puts a hand around her stomach and goes toward a chair.) Easy Piper. Try to relax. (Piper sits down.) We wouldn't want you to go into premature labor now, would we?
(He looks at Wyatt.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
[Scene: Evil Magic School. Phoebe, Paige, and Evil Gideon are there.]
Evil Gideon: You have no idea what you've done. Just by coming here, you may have thrown both worlds irreversibly out of balance.
Paige: Okay, well, doesn't killing us sort of do that, too?
Evil Gideon: Don't be ridiculous. If I wanted to kill you, I would have. I was just, caught off guard.
Phoebe: Well, you need to relax there, tiger.
Evil Gideon: It's a different world, Pheebs. One filled with distrust, even amongst allies.
Phoebe: I don't understand. Where are your Paige and Phoebe?
Evil Gideon: Out looking for your Leo and Chris. They were supposed to bring them back here.
Phoebe: Well, your Leo and Chris are at our magic school waiting to be rescued. (Evil Gideon puts a hand on Phoebe's shoulder.) Yes.
Paige: Okay, this is just one big mess. What happened to the whole yin-yang business?
Evil Gideon: It's been thrown off, possibly as a result of the exchange of Leo and Chris. Two worlds that mirror each other when they're in balance. And they no longer are.
Paige: Okay, if it's already bad, what's gonna happen now that we're here?
Evil Gideon: With both sets of sisters on the same side, the balance is dangerously at risk. We have to work quickly to correct it.
Phoebe: If you are suggesting a plan, don't. We've got it covered. You don't worry about it. We need to find his Piper.
Evil Gideon: If you do, she'll probably kill you. She's evil, remember, and she's got a terrible temper, worse when she's pregnant.
(Phoebe and Paige shake their heads.)
Phoebe: Yeah, that's not much different in our world. Trust us, we can handle it.
Paige: Yeah.
Evil Gideon: Your instincts are right to distruct me. I am evil, after all. But we both want the same thing.
Paige: Okay, well there's a little problem with that because your girls didn't uphold their end of the bargain. They did not find our guys.
Evil Gideon: But you will. You know them, know how they think.
Phoebe: Okay, so we're gonna bring you your Chris and Leo, and then what/
Evil Gideon: You'll have our Piper for a Power-of-Three spell. She'll know it's the only way to get her men back. And if you encounter your counterparts, be careful. They will kill you.
(Paige and Phoebe orb out.)
[Scene: Prescott Street. Rats are on trashcans. Broken cars are in the streets. There are unkempt and dirty yards around the houses with trash littering in the streets. People yell at each other. A man steals a purse. The other neighbors ignore it. Paige and Phoebe duck out from behind an abandoned car. They look around.]
Paige: Okay, this place isn't just evil, it's ugly.
Phoebe: Oh, I don't think they're home. And I don't wanna go in there to find out.
Paige: Charmed Ones working for evil. Who would've thunk it? Well, I'm with ya, especially after Gideon's little warning.
(A kid rides by on a bike and breaks a car window with a metal rod.)
Phoebe: Hey!
Paige: I don't think Chris and Leo would've gone into that house either.
Phoebe: Maybe they went to see Darryl like their evil counterparts did. I think we should talk to Darryl.
Paige: I don't think if Darryl wants to talk to us in the good world, he's not gonna wanna talk to us in the evil world.
(A neighbor walks out with a dog. The dog barks at Phoebe. She and Paige see an advertisement on a taxi roof: Ask Phoebe. Read me or else.)
Phoebe: Maybe he will, if he thinks we're them.
Paige: Okay, I really think we need to get out of here.
(Paige takes out her cell phone.)
Phoebe: What're you doing?
(She dials.)
Paige: I wanna see if this works in the parallel world. Ah! It does. (Into the phone) Hi, can I have Lieutenant Morris, please?
Voice: Hey! (They look over and see the Evil Patrol Officer walking to Evil Mrs. Noble.) Lady, you want me to give her a second citation, it's gonna cost ya.
Evil Mrs. Noble: Why, you greedy son of a haven't I given you enough already?
Evil Patrol Officer: Hey, don't give me that!
(He pushes her down.)
Phoebe: Hey, leave her alone!
(He sees them walking toward him and starts backing away.)
Evil Patrol Officer: I, uh, I wasn't really gonna give you that citation.
(He leaves. Phoebe helps Evil Mrs. Noble up. She sees her and screams and runs away.)
Phoebe: Wow. We must be some bad ass witches in this world.
Paige: Yeah. Remember that for when we meet up with bad ass Darryl.
[Scene: P3. It's now a strip joint. Evil Darryl sits on a seat getting a lap dance from a girl. Paige and Phoebe walk in.]
Paige: Well, it looks like everybody's enjoying themselves.
Phoebe: Including Darryl. Ugh. Okay, juts remember, we're used to this.
Paige: Right. Think mean. Think nasty.
(They walk toward Darryl. A man walks up to Paige. She pushes him down. They walk to Darryl. Phoebe clears her throat. Some officers block them.)
Evil Darryl: (To officers) It's all right. Let them through. (To Paige and Phoebe) I knew you'd show up sooner or later.
Phoebe: How's Sheila?
Evil Darryl: (To the dancer) It's all right, honey. I'll be here all night. (She leaves.) Sheila who?
(He shows them his wedding ring and laughs with his buddies. They knock knuckles. Phoebe pushes Evil Darryl backwards She grabs a beer bottle, breaks it off, then puts it to Evil Darryl's throat.)
Phoebe: Leo and Chris, where are they? Where are they?!
Evil Darryl: Last time I saw them was at the police station. Me and my boys were trying to give Chris what he deserved. But Leo orbed him away. I've never seen him run from a fight before.
Paige: Where'd they go?
Evil Darryl: If I knew, do you think I'd be here waiting for you? Where you been anyway? Undercover in the Underworld?
Phoebe: Why?
Evil Darryl: Bright, happy colors? Not exactly your style. Get away from me. I don't want Sheridan to see me with you. She's been all over my ass.
(Phoebe stands up and sees Evil Inspector Sheridan dancing on a pole.)
Phoebe: (To Evil Darryl) Don't get up.
(She and Paige walk away.)
Paige: Now what?
Phoebe: I think maybe we're looking at this all wrong. Maybe we all are.
Paige: Come again?
Phoebe: Well listen, if Darryl won't help Leo and Chris because he's evil, then they'd have to go to someone who's good, right, to help them?
Paige: Okay, yeah, but who's not evil here? Where are the good guys? They hiding?
Phoebe: Yeah, in the Underworld. Think about it. Reverse it. Who's good here?
Paige: Demons.
Phoebe: Right, and if I know Leo, he would have gone after the most powerful good demon there is.
Paige: You're right.
[Scene: Underworld. It looks like a peaceful garden. Good Barbas turns around. He's wearing white.]
Good Barbas: I know the truth of all your hopes because I can feel your greatest hope inside here, the hope that one day to return home. (He's talking to Leo and Chris.) Oh, and of course, your presence here gives me great hope, the hope that someplace there really is a different kind of world, a world where the greater good, the, uh, the goodness of the heart prevails.
(He walks past them, putting a hand on Leo's shoulder.)
Chris: Is he for real?
Leo: He must be. Demon of Fear in our world must be the Demon of Hope here. (To Good Barbas) Question is, do you have enough power to send us back?
Good Barbas: Oh, alas, no, I do not, not if you were brought here by the Power of Three. But, however, hope springs eternal, so I may be able to persuade the sisters of my world to help us simply by relying on their greatest hope, the hope to reunite with your counterparts, and then, maybe (He waves his hand over Chris' face.) You will be able to return to your time before it's too late as you hope.
(He begins to touch Chris, but he slaps his hand away.)
Chris: Whoa. Don't touch me.
(Paige and Phoebe orb in.)
Paige: Oh, thank god.
Good Barbas: Quickly, orb away. I will deal with them. I've done it before.
Leo: No, it's okay. They're the good ones.
Chris: Trust us. They're not evil.
(Evil Phoebe and Evil Paige walks up.)
Evil Phoebe: No, but we are.
(Evil Paige waves.)
[Scene: Good Magic School. Piper's bedroom. Piper is lying on the bed, in labor. Mrs. Winterbourne is there too.]
Mrs. Winterbourne: Breathe, dear, in long, out short. One in three short. (She demonstrates.) In three short.
Piper: Where are my sisters?
Mrs. Winterbourne: Gideon's trying to find them, dear. Just try to focus on the breath. In
(Gideon walks in.)
Gideon: What happened?
Mrs. Winterbourne: Her water's broke. She needs to get to a hospital.
Piper: Did you find them?
Gideon: No, not yet, but you can't wait any longer. It's not safe. (To Mrs. Winterbourne) Go. Hurry.
(She nods.)
Piper: Somebody has to stay with Wyatt.
(Gideon looks over at Wyatt in his playpen.)
Gideon: Don't worry. I'll take care of him.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[Scene: Mirror World Underworld. Continues from before. Everyone's staring at Evil Phoebe and Evil Paige.]
Phoebe: Nice knuckles. Brass?
Evil Phoebe: No, Tiffany's.
Paige: Ooh, what a waste of a nice blue box.
Evil Paige: What'd you say, witch?
Phoebe: Okay look, we didn't come here to fight. We just came to get Leo and Chris.
Evil Phoebe: Well, so did we.
Paige: Fine. You give us ours, we'll give you yours.
Evil Paige: Right. Like we can trust you. You're good.
Phoebe: Wait, you can't trust us? Who are the evil ones here?
Good Barbas: Come on, ladies. Have some hope. We can work this out peacefully.
Phoebes: Shut up!
Paiges: Shut up!
Evil Paige: We'll take care of you later.
Phoebe: Psst. (Both Phoebes and Paiges turn around, their back toward the other.) (To Paige) Okay, we're gonna have to make a move because the longer the worlds are out of balance
Evil Phoebe: The worse the damage is.
Evil Paige: We have to get everyone back to where they belong.
Paige: Problem is, there's no talking to those witches. I wish I could just vanquish them.
Evil Phoebe: Me, too, but that'll really screw up the balance. We're gonna have to settle for
Phoebe: Knocking them out so we can get Leo and Chris outta here.
Evil Paige: Good. We'll orb out and grab them
Paige: From behind.
Phoebe: Perfect.
(Both Paiges and Phoebes turn around. Paige and Phoebe orb out and Evil Paige and Evil Phoebe black orb out. The orbs hit each other in mid air, sending each pair of sisters back, landing and reforming. They all stand up.)
Evil Phoebe: That sucked.
Phoebe: (To Paige) All right. I'll take mine, you take yours.
(Phoebe and Evil Phoebe step away. Evil Paige conjures a Darklighter crossbow. Paige gasps. Evil Paige fires at her.)
Paige: Arrow! (The arrow orbs out. Evil Paige fires again.) Arrow!
(The arrow orbs out.)
[Cut to Phoebes. They are fighting, matching each other's moves.]
[Cut to Paiges. Evil Paige fires again.]
Paige: Arrow!
(The arrow orbs out. Evil Paige tosses the crossbow aside.)
Paiges: Rock!
(They each orb a rock and throw it toward each other.)
Leo: Look out! (He, Chris, and Good Barbas duck as the rocks smash in mid-air. It falls down in the center.) This is nuts. No one can win. They're too evenly matched.
Chris: Well, they think alike.
Paiges: Boulder!
(They orb a large rock. Leo, Chris, and Good Barbas run and take cover behind a group of rocks. The boulders explode on impact.)
Leo: We don't have time for this. I gotta get back to Piper. We gotta get you home.
Chris: When Gideon said something can go wrong with the portal, I don't think he knew how wrong.
Good Barbas: You said Gideon?
Chris: Yeah. Why?
Good Barbas: Because just maybe he did know how wrong it could go.
[Scene: Piper's bedroom. Gideon and Wyatt are there. Gideon walks to his playpen. Wyatt puts his force field on.]
Gideon: That won't protect you for long, my boy. Not for long.
(Gideon puts his hands on the shield and bolts of electricity shoot from his palms. Gideon orbs himself and Wyatt out of the bedroom.)
[Scene: Mirror World Underworld. Phoebe and Evil Phoebe are still fighting.]
[Cut to Paiges.]
Paiges: Boulder!
(They throw the boulders at each other and they explode.)
Leo: What do you mean? Gideon is after Wyatt?
Good Barbas: He was desperately hoping to eliminate Wyatt.
(Phoebes are still fighting. They fall to the ground. Paige and Evil Paige finally give up and walk over to the other. Their cell phones ring. They pull them out.)
Paiges: It's Piper. (They answer their phones.) Hello?
Piper: (from phone) Where the hell are you? I'm in labor, for Christ's sakes. Get your ass down here.
Phoebes: Is she okay?
Paiges: She's in labor.
Piper: (from phone) Who's that? You've got an echo. What the hell is going on?
Paiges: I'm on my way.
(They hang up. Leo, Chris, and Good Barbas stand up.)
Paige: We have to go get Piper.
Leo: And Wyatt.
[Scene: Attic. Gideon is by the Book of Shadows, casting a spell.]
Gideon: "Wanton powers in this blade, yield, penetrate that which would shield." (An athame is above him. It glows. He takes it and goes over to Wyatt, who's sitting in the middle of the carpet with his force field on. The athame touches the shield and it powers down.) I'm truly sorry, but this is for the greater good.
(The athame orbs out of Gideon's grip and orbs back in, stabbing him. Gideon screams in pain. He pulls the athame out and goes to strike Wyatt, but feels a lot of pain. He hears chanting.)
[Cut to Mirror World. Manor. Attic. Evil Gideon puts down the athame as both sets of Phoebes and Paiges are chanting a spell. Leo and Chris are there.]
Phoebes/Paiges: We call upon ancient lore to punish with the power of four, strike down this threat from both there and here, make him suffer, then disappear."
(Gideon black orbs out. Evil Wyatt sits on the floor crying.)
Phoebes: Wyatt, thank god.
(Both Phoebes take a step forward. They stop. Phoebe backs up and Evil Phoebe goes over to pick up Evil Wyatt. Chris and Leo walk into the attic.)
Evil Phoebe: (To Evil Wyatt) Did you give that bad man Gideon those wounds?
Evil Paige: It looks like Wyatt can handle himself.
(Leo picks up the athame.)
Leo: Yeah, but for how long? Gideon's one of the most powerful Elders. If he wants him dead, he'll find a way.
Chris: I can't believe it was Gideon all along.
Leo: And he's still out there. If he wasn't vanquished here, he wasn't vanquished in our world, either.
Paige: So what we need to do is get everybody back in the right place.
Paiges: Yeah, fix this whole nutty balance
Paige: Balance
Paiges: Thing.
Paige: I'm with ya.
Leo: The problem is we don't have the Power of Three to open the portal.
Phoebe: No, but we do have
Evil Phoebe: The Power of Four.
(Paige and Evil Paige go to the wall. Evil Paige gives Paige a thick piece of white chalk. They start drawing the triquetra.)
[Scene: Magic School. Gideon's study. Gideon and Evil Gideon are healing themselves.]
Gideon: At least we're still alive.
Evil Gideon: Only because we barely made it back here in time.
Gideon: Still, we healed each other and we can try again, especially now that we can breach Wyatt's shield.
Evil Gideon: But the sisters know about us now. Worse, the imbalance has caused a shift in both worlds.
Gideon: Which we should be able to use to our advantage to distract them whilst we complete our task. We created the imbalance. We should be able to repair the shift, and when we do, we'll make sure that the sisters forget everything.
(Evil Gideon leaves.)
[Scene: Manor. Attic. The portal opens and Leo, Chris, Paige, and Phoebe come through. Wyatt's on the floor.]
Leo: There's my brave little guy. Quick, the portal's closing. We gotta get their men back through.
Chris: I'll get 'em.
(Chris orbs out. Leo picks up Wyatt.)
Leo: Hey, buddy. I got ya.
Phoebe: Okay, so if Evil Piper's in labor, that means our Piper must be, too. We gotta get to the hospital.
Paige: Okay, we have to get the bag.
(They leave.)
[Cut to front door. Paige and Phoebe step out. They see the sun shining, the sky clear, and a beautiful rainbow over it. The streets are clean. Children play nearby. The neighbors and workers on the street wave to the sisters.]
Worker: Hey, there! How're you doing?
Paige: Okay, this is really strange.
Man: Hi, neighbor!
(Mrs. Noble is nearby.)
Mrs. Noble: Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo, ladies! Yoo-hoo! (She goes over to them.) I've been waiting for you.
Phoebe: Mrs. Noble. Hi. I was just coming out to move the car.
Mrs. Noble: Oh, I know. You're a busy, busy, busy girl!
Paige: Yeah, see, it's our sister Piper. She's in labor, and we're all a little crazy.
(The Patrol Officer and some neighbors come up to them.)
Phoebe: And I won't park there again, I promise.
Patrol Officer: That's right. I know you won't. (He takes out his gun and shots Phoebe. She falls back and Paige catches her.) Wrongs must be righted.
Paige: Help!
Mrs. Noble: Have a super day!
Paige: Help?! (Phoebe is on the ground.) Help! Somebody, help! (The Patrol Officer walks away.) Please, someone! (Mrs. Noble leaves.) Someone, help! Please, someone?! Someone?! Help! Someone, help! Leo?! Leo?! (An ice cream truck pulls up.) Someone, help! Please, someone?! Leo?!
