TEXT: [Scene: Underworld. The Source appears before the Oracle.] The Source: My assassin failed. The witch is alive. Oracle: Yes, I know. The Source: You told me her future was short-lived. You told me- Oracle: I told you only that it appeared to be short-lived. Seeing into the future is not always exact, especially when magical forces are at play. The Source: The Power of Three is strong. She'll be almost untouchable now that she's reunited with her new sisters. Oracle: Once the bond is formed, perhaps, but it has yet to, which means she's vulnerable, easily swayed. (She goes over to the Source.) 48 - little hours. The window of opportunity agreed to eons ago by both sides to protect free will. (Whispers) The great flaw in the grand design. The Source: She hasn't chosen the other side yet? Oracle: Well, she's young, confused, doesn't know which way to turn. You must seduce her into using her powers for evil, then she will become evil. And that's even better than killing her, which, of course you could still do. You need to get close to her, read her soul, corrupt it, and she's yours. (The Source caresses the Oracle's chin.) The Source: And you...you need to see the future more clearly, Oracle...for your own future. (He then vanishes.) [Cut to Shane's room in the hospital. Shane wakes up and stands up. The lights flicker. The Source appears before him.] Shane: What the hell? Who are you? The Source: For now, I am you. (The Source disappears and possesses Shane. Paige enters the room.) Paige: Oh, my God, the most horrible thing has happened to me! I can't explain it. Shane/Source: Shh. It's okay, honey. I'm here now. It's okay. (The possessed Shane has his eyes turn all black as he embraces Paige.) [Scene: Manor. Next morning. Kitchen. Piper retrieves
