TEXT: Teleplay by: Constance M. Burge and Sheryl J. Anderson Story by: Brad Kern and Constance M. Burge [SCENE_BREAK] [Scene: Mr. Franklin and Max's house. They are sitting on the couch and then thugs wearing balaclavas run in and grab Max.] Mr. Franklin: Max! (One of the thugs points a gun at Mr. Franklin.) Thug: Don't move, don't breathe! Just listen. We're gonna borrow your kid just for a day. Now, if you're smart, you will not call the cops. We will have him safe and sound, first thing Monday morning, ready for school. Do you understand? Mr. Franklin: Yeah, yeah. Thug: Just our little secret, right? Mr. Franklin: Yeah. (The thug knocks Mr. Franklin out and they drag Max outside.) [Scene: Attic. Prue, Piper, and Phoebe are sitting at a table spring-cleaning. Piper is looking through a box of toys and Phoebe is painting her nails.] Phoebe: Can I just say I am absolutely enjoying this? Piper: That's because you're not doing anything. Phoebe: Not true. I've painted my fingers and my toes. Prue: I just hope that this doesn't fall under the personal gain category. Piper: How could it? A good witch is a clean witch. Phoebe: Yep. I think we should spring clean like this more often. You go girl. (Prue uses her power to close drawers, put things in a box, clean the window, straighten toys and books on a shelf, and lift some trophies while dusting.) Piper: Good job Prue. (Prue uses her power to put away a broom.) Oh look. More toys. I told you Grams wouldn't throw them away. Prue: Yeah. But we will. Why don't you just put that stuff in the discard pile? Phoebe: Wait. What's in there? Piper: Stuffed animals without eyeballs
SUMMARY:
Prue gets a magical distress call from a young witch named Max who is forced into helping two thieves rob a bank and is captured and forced to take part in the robbery too. Max's father tries to intervene and is shot, and Prue and Max are forced to leave him behind. At the same time, Leo returns and while fixing a chandelier, Phoebe discovers him levitating and learns that he is a Whitelighter, guardian angels of good witches who is protecting Max by directing Prue to him. He truly loves Piper, but it is forbidden and he needs to figure out how to break up with her. Prue gets Max to short out the bomb that the thieves are using to force their co-operation and trap them in the vault. As Max's father lies dying, Leo arrives and heals his wound and convinces him to get over his wife's death and be a father to his son. Helping Max restores Prue's faith in having children.
