One of the bored students listening to the proceedings accidentally conjures Lady Godiva out from a History book illustration. Unfortunately, he also conjures out a Demon. Meanwhile, Phoebe struggles to keep herself busy during her sabbatical and finds inspiration in Lady Godiva's methods of gaining attention. ========================== CHARMED 7X02: THE BARE WITCH PROJECT ========================== FADE IN: [All scenes are from 7X01: A Call to Arms] ROSE McGOWAN (NARRATOR): Previously on "Charmed" [INT. MANOR - KITCHEN - MORNING] (Paige pours herself a cup of coffee as Piper prepares to go out for a morning walk.) PAIGE: It's the whole magic school thing. I don't know why The Elders are just shutting it down. PIPER: Well, who's gonna stop them? PAIGE: (surprised by her own answer) I am. [INT. THE BAY MIRROR - BULLPEN - DAY] (Phoebe speaks with Elise Rothman.) PHOEBE: I love my job. I just don't think that I can do it right now. ELISE ROTHMAN: Take a sabbatical. PHOEBE: And what happens to my column? ELISE ROTHMAN: I'll hire someone to ghostwrite it for you. [INT. THE BAY MIRROR - ELISE'S OFFICE - DAY] (After hanging up the phone on Phoebe, Elise turns around to the new "ghostwriter" for the "Ask Phoebe" column.) ELISE ROTHMAN: She can hardly wait to meet you. LESLIE "LES" ST. CLAIRE: (smiles and nods) Well, likewise. [INT. MANOR - SITTING ROOM - DAY] (Phoebe grumbles to Paige.) PHOEBE: There's no way I'm attracted to him. Oh, god. I hope he's not the one from my vision. [EXT. GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE - TOWER - NIGHT] (Filled with rage, Leo blasts Zola with streams of electricity. The force of the impact lifts Zola high up into the air and up against the bridge's steel beams.) LEO: Aah! (Leo doesn't let up. Zola explodes.) [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - GREAT HALL - DAY] (Leo is huddled in a corner on the floor.) LEO: (lost) I killed another Elder. (Piper holds him close.) PIPER: Oh, it's okay. It's not your fault. You were tricked. PIPER: (whispers) Nobody else has to know. [INT. UNDERWORLD - HEALER'S CAVE] (Leo talks with the Creature Head. He looks around.) LEO: Who the hell are you? What do you want? (The Creature Head appears - translucent, ghost-like and floating in the air. It zooms toward Leo.) CREATURE HEAD: (echo-y) We want you ... you (you-you-you). (With a flash of light, the Creature Head disappears. The breeze rushes toward Leo staring off scared at the sight.) FADE OUT. END OF PREVIOUSLY ON FADE IN. [EXT. SIDEWALK CAFÉ -- DAY] (Close-up of: The folded paper, The Bay Mirror, falls flat on the table. It's opened to the recent ASK PHOEBE column. The subheadline reads: Glass Ceiling in Sausalito.) (Phoebe turns the paper around and shows it to Piper who sits across her at the small café table. She has a baby blanket thrown over her shoulder obviously covering her breast-feeding Baby Chris. Wyatt sits in the baby stroller nearby.) PHOEBE: That's not me. PIPER: (glances at the paper) It sure looks like you. PHOEBE: No, I mean, the picture's me, it's just the column is not me. I knew a man couldn't give advice like a woman. Men are all about, you know, like fixing the problem. PIPER: Isn't that what advice columnists are supposed to do? (Piper checks at Chris under the blanket busy having his meal.) PHOEBE: No. I mean, yes, but, you know, first, you're supposed to listen. (Seeing that everything's all right, Piper pulls the baby blanket once more up over her shoulder to cover her breast-feeding Baby Chris.) PHOEBE: (continues) Then you're supposed to validate feelings. At least that's what a woman would do. But not a man. They go straight to fixing it. I mean this "Glass Ceiling in Sausalito," Leslie tells this woman step by step how to deal with her boss. (Piper picks up the paper and looks at the article.) There are no feelings in there, no emotions. I mean, my readers are gonna read that, and they're gonna know that I did not write it. This is a nightmare. PIPER: Honestly, it's real subtle. They might not notice. PHOEBE: Even the letters that he picks, they're all fix-it letters, you know? And I left him three messages about this yesterday. He did not call me back. PIPER: I thought the whole point of this little vacation was for you to relax and recharge. PHOEBE: Yeah. I know ... but it's still my column. You know, I still care about it. PIPER: Any big change takes some adjusting. So for a while, you're just gonna feel a little lost. PHOEBE: See? You just validated my feelings. PIPER: Phoebe, you need to stop obsessing. Unless, of course, you know, you're obsessing 'cause, um, you like him. (Piper smiles and raises her eyebrows suggestively at Phoebe.) PHOEBE: (denies it) No, I don't like him. He's like ... eww. PIPER: Well, then forget about it and find something else to obsess about. PHOEBE: Yeah, I know. You're right. I have to find a way to channel my energy, find something to be passionate about, you know? (As Phoebe talks, Piper passingly notices the couple sitting at a table nearby talking with the Manager of the small café.) PHOEBE: Paige with magic school. You saving Leo. PIPER: I'm not saving him. I'm just ... hoping that by spending some time with the boys that he'll feel loved and needed and realize that life isn't all that bad. (The Manager walks up to their table.) MANAGER: Excuse me, ladies, but I'm afraid you're gonna have to take that someplace else. PIPER: Take what? MANAGER: You know ... that. (He indicates Piper and the blanket over her shoulder covering Chris.) PHOEBE: It's called breast-feeding. MANAGER: (nods) Customers were complaining. PHOEBE: Wha ... what? (Phoebe turns around to the table behind him. The man and the woman sitting at the table look back and shake their heads.) PIPER: All right. Let's go. I gotta go anyway. PHOEBE: No. Piper, you are not going anywhere. You've done nothing wrong. You--you can't do this. MANAGER: Actually, yeah, I can. (He points to the sign in the window: "MANAGEMENT HAS THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE.") MANAGER: Sorry. (But he's not. The Manager leaves.) PIPER: It's no big deal. Let's go. PHOEBE: (stuttering) That's horrible. You -- PIPER: We're going. (Not wanting to argue about it any further, Piper stands up to leave.) ODIN: (Prelap) (v.o.) This is a losing battle. CUT TO: [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - GREAT HALL - DAY] (Paige stands in the center of the dismantled Great Hall. In front of her, she faces a panel of Elders as she argues to save Magic School. Behind her, the Magic School Student Body boringly listens to the proceedings.) ODIN: Magic school was a noble experiment, but I'm afraid it's run its course. PAIGE: But what about these kids? Where are they going to go? Where are they gonna learn how to develop their magic? ELDER (WOMAN): Where did you learn to develop yours? PAIGE: I learned from my sisters, and they did from their mother and their grandmother, but not everybody has that. What these kids need -- (Paige is hit by a spitball. Behind her, one of the students high-fives a second student.) (Odin is not impressed.) (Paige sighs. She tries again.) PAIGE: What these kids need is guidance. ODIN: The point remains that with Gideon no longer around, the safety of this institution, both to the students and to the outside world, can no longer be guaranteed. PAIGE: I can guarantee it. (Odin looks at Paige after that statement and she immediately amends herself.) PAIGE: I mean, I can try to guarantee it. You see, I fight demons on a weekly basis, and I think that more than qualifies me to be able to deal with some magical students. (A second bored student glances at the statue of cupid behind him. He gets an idea, waves his finger and the arrow in Cupid's bow shoot past Odin and embeds in the wooden crate behind him.) (The students giggle. Odin, again, isn't impressed. He turns and looks at Paige.) PAIGE: Like I said ... they need some guidance. SIMON: She can guide me any day. (Duncan chuckles at the remark as he looks through an old history book at an old drawing of Lady Godiva on her horse with Lord Dyson standing nearby.) DUNCAN: Check it out. I just cast an awesome spell. (At his words, golden orbs appear on the page.) PAIGE: These kids are special. (Suddenly, from the right of the open history book page in Duncan's hands, a strong stream of golden orbs shoot out and up into the air. On the left, a weaker stream of black orbs rise out from the page. Everyone's eyes are on the golden orbs as it crackles and bursts out in the Great Hall.) (As it showers down in the empty space near Paige, a long, blonde-haired woman sitting on the horse. She is Lady Godiva and she's sitting naked on her horse in the center of the Great Hall.) (Nearby, unnoticed by everyone, Lord Dyson appears also. His manifestation is weak and he is translucent in the center of the Great Hall.) (The students gasps at the sight. Simon stands up.) SIMON: Naked woman! (Paige stands there staring, stunned. The teenaged boys rush forward to get a better look at the naked Lady Godiva. Simon walks clear through Lord Dyson without noticing him at all. Lord Dyson looks down at himself trying to figure out what's going on.) (Paige steps aside and promptly bumps into Odin. The two stand side-by-side staring at Lady Godiva. Lady Godiva sits on her horse looking around clearly puzzled by what's just happened to her. Hold a beat, then ... FADE TO END OF TEASER ROLL TITLE CREDITS (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - GREAT HALL -- DAY] (Lady Godiva sits on her horse in the Great Hall. She's surrounded by a crowd of teenaged boys ogling her.) (Duncan turns around to look at Paige.) DUNCAN: (desperate) I'm sorry. I didn't mean to conjure her, I swear. It was an accident. PAIGE: (calmly) It's okay, Duncan. I know you didn't mean to. It's okay. Just tell me what happened ... fast. DUNCAN: I don't know. I--I was just bored. You know, messing around, flipping through the history book, and then "poof," out popped Lady Godiva. (Paige looks at the naked blonde-haired woman on the horse. Her witch side completely impressed by the bit of magic that brought her here.) PAIGE: That's Lady Godiva? That is so cool. (shakes herself out of it) ... I mean, it's not cool ... but it's okay. You just send her back, and everything will be fine. DUNCAN: Yeah. Well, that's the thing. I don't know how to send her back. I only know how to conjure. PAIGE: (rambling) Okay. That is bad. I mean, not that you're bad. This is a bad situation. You know what I mean? But I know you didn't mean it, so you're not really bad. It's okay. It's okay. Uh ... (declares) We'll fix it. (Duncan nods hopefully at her. Paige, again, looks at Lady Godiva.) PAIGE: I hope. (Paige heads for Lady Godiva.) (Cut to: Lady Godiva is off her horse. She grabs a magenta and gold banner off from the side and uses it to cover herself. She stares wordlessly at the teenaged boys.) (Paige walks up to the teacher standing on the side and grabs her cloak off her shoulders.) PAIGE: Uh, need to borrow this. I'll have it dry-cleaned. (Paige turns around and finds Odin's finger in her face with Odin looming in front of her.) ODIN: Is that who I think it is? PAIGE: Lady Godiva. Pretty impressive use of magic, huh? ODIN: Don't you know how dangerous it is to mess with history? If we don't find a way to send her back before anything happens to her ... PAIGE: I'm all over it. (Paige leaves and heads for Lady Godiva. Odin sighs and leaves also.) (Paige reaches Lady Godiva. She turns and faces the students.) PAIGE: That's it. Shoo! Get out of here. Get out with your raging hormones. Bye. Bye. (The kids groan and disburse.) SIMON: (mutters) Lame. (Paige uses the cloak and covers Lady Godiva.) GODIVA: What happened? Where am I? What is this place? PAIGE: It's okay. You're safe. (Also in the Great Hall, the translucent Lord Dyson has been watching completely ignored by everyone.) PAIGE: (o.s.) I'm gonna take you home, okay? (Lord Dyson looks over to the side and sees the kids.) (Cut to: Duncan picks up the history book off the chair and sits down. He feels bad enough as it is. Simon walks over to him.) SIMON: (rubbing it in) Well, well, that's one screwed up mess you made. Wow. (sarcastically) Good job, Duncan. You scored big. (Tired and irritated, Duncan tosses the History Book to the side.) DUNCAN: Shut up, Simon. Leave me alone. (Simon leaves Duncan alone. Invisible Lord Dyson moves in next to Duncan.) LORD DYSON: (taunts) Say good-bye to magic school. Such intense frustration, all pent up. Let me help you let it out, hmm? (Lord Dyson raises his hands and a reddish-black cloud of frustration and pent- up emotions is pulled out of Duncan's head and into Lord Dyson's hands.) (Duncan surges to his feet.) SIMON: (o.s.) Pack your bags, boys. Duncan just got us evicted. (He puts a hand on Simon's shoulder and whirls him around. He punches Simon in the face. Simon falls to the floor.) DUNCAN: You son of a bitch, leave me alone! (Simon's lip is split and bleeding. Duncan falls on top him and continues to punch Simon in the face letting all his frustration out. A group of boys gather around.) DUNCAN: Stop picking on me! ELDER (WOMAN): Hey! Break it up. (Duncan hits Simon again just before he's pulled off.) SIMON: Duncan. (A teacher pulls Duncan out of the room past Invisible Lord Dyson who has been watching the scene in front of him.) LORD DYSON: Interesting. (The Elder reaches down and helps Simon up. He takes Simon out of the Great Hall.) LORD DYSON: I have a very good feeling about this. (Lord Dyson looks around the Great Hall, his eyes alight with the possibilities.) CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - FOYER -- DAY] (The front door opens. Phoebe is still disgruntled about their treatment at the sidewalk café and grumbles as she holds the door open for Piper and the double- seated stroller she's pushing into the house.) PHOEBE: Piper, I can't believe, you, of all people, are against this. We have to do something. PIPER: Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh. You are not writing a letter to "Ask Phoebe" about my breast. (whispers) Leo? PHOEBE: You're the one that said I needed a cause. PIPER: Shh! Yeah, so you could keep your mind off of the column, not write a letter to it. (Piper and Phoebe head into the dining room.) PHOEBE: How am I supposed to keep my mind off of the column when he's about to blow my cover, maybe even my career? (Phoebe puts her bag down on the main hall table.) PIPER: Okay. You're obsessing. (Piper looks up at the ceiling.) Leo? You're late. (They turn the corner and head into the kitchen.) PHOEBE: Well, I don't know what you're worried about. It's not like he's gonna pick the letter anyway. It's way too feminine. PIPER: I'm worried because somehow I know you're gonna find a way to make him pick it. PHOEBE: So what? Then we hit two Neanderthals with one stone. I cannot believe you're not supporting me on this. PIPER: What is there to support? Phoebe, it's already a law. PHOEBE: So let's sue the manager. PIPER: I don't have time to sue the manager. I have other things to worry about, like work. (Piper opens the refrigerator and grabs sandwich ingredients.) PHOEBE: Yeah, I'm on sabbatical. I don't have to worry about that. I'm lost. (She pushes the refrigerator door closed.) PIPER: (groans loudly) For crying out loud, Leo! (Paige orbs into the kitchen with Lady Godiva. Never being orbed anywhere before, Lady Godiva gasps at her new surroundings.) (Piper and Phoebe stare.) PIPER: That's not Leo. PAIGE: (cheerfully) Hey, guys. Book still upstairs? (Paige turns Lady Godiva around and tries to get out of the kitchen quickly, but Phoebe stops her.) PHOEBE: Wait a minute. PIPER: Hold it. PHOEBE: What happened? PAIGE: Well, uh ... this is Godiva. Um ... say hello. PIPER: "Godiva"? (Paige nods.) PAIGE: As in, um ... Lady Godiva ... uh, in the flesh, so to speak. (Phoebe turns around and glances back at Piper.) LADY GODIVA: (whispers to Paige) Are they witches, too? PAIGE: Yeah. See, the meeting kind of went long, got a little boring, and the kids, they grew restless, and ... PHOEBE: ... So they conjured a sex object? LADY GODIVA: (offended) I am no sex object. I was riding through town in my natural state to protest my husband's unjust taxes. (The toaster pops the toast up. Lady Godiva gasps. Her attention is focused now on the toaster on the counter.) PIPER: Uh, wait. Riding? As in plucked out in the middle of? (Lady Godiva slowly makes her way to the toaster.) PIPER: Paige, she has to finish that ride, or else it could change -- PAIGE: Yeah, history as we know it. I got it, but even worse, if I don't send her back soon, I'm pretty sure The Elders are gonna shut down Magic School. PIPER: I don't think that's worse than changing the course of history. (The blender whirls. Lady Godiva squeals at the sudden sound. Piper intervenes.) PIPER: Aah! Uh ... okay. Okay. Okay. (Piper shuts the blender off. Lady Godiva runs and takes cover behind Paige.) PIPER: On the other hand, how much history could a naked lady on horseback really affect? LADY GODIVA: (indignant) Excuse me. My ride is important. PIPER: Oh-kay. PAIGE: Even so, we need to find a spell to send you back, so come on. (Paige takes Lady Godiva and leads her out of the kitchen. As soon as they're gone, Piper turns to Phoebe.) PIPER: See what I mean? We have bigger naked breasts to worry about. PHOEBE: (declares, determined) Paige has her naked breasts to worry about, I've got yours. (Phoebe turns and leaves the kitchen. Piper closes her eyes, hangs her head and groans one more time.) PIPER: (moans) Lee-ooh?! CUT TO: [INT. UNDERWORLD - DEMON'S CAVERN] (But Leo's busy. A demon cries out in pain from the beams of electricity streaming from Leo's hands. The force of the electrical streams holds the Demon high up against the cavern ceiling.) DEMON: Aah! Aah! (Leo is merciless. The streams of electricity continue.) (Behind him, Piper, Wyatt and Baby Chris orb into the cave. Leo hears the orbing, stops and turns around to face them. The demon falls to the ground with a painful thud.) LEO: Piper ... PIPER: Ah. Sorry to interrupt, but I'm late for work. So Wyatt's been fed, Chris has had his early nap, and, um, they're just very excited to see ya. (Piper puts Baby Chris' bassinet down on the cave floor. Leo holds up the baby bag.) LEO: Now's not really a good time. PIPER: Well, you know, but when is a good time? Sometimes we just have to make the time. LEO: Which I will do once I've taken care of any threats towards them. PIPER: Oh, but don't be ridiculous. You can't vanquish every threat. Besides, even if you did, it doesn't change the fact that ... (She stops abruptly. Leo fills in the blank.) LEO: I killed another Elder? PIPER: Yeah, but it wasn't your fault. LEO: It doesn't change the facts. PIPER: The fact is the boys need a father, and that's really all that matters, and I can't understand why you're focusing on all this bad stuff when you have some good stuff in your life. (The demon on the ground behind them growls. Leo motions for Piper to cover Wyatt's eyes. Piper puts a hand over Wyatt's eyes.) (Leo turns around and vanquishes the demon on the ground.) (Wyatt pushes Piper's hand away. The demon explodes.) DEMON: Aah! (Piper looks at Leo.) PIPER: Uh ... hi. Could you please not do that around the children? LEO: You brought them here. PIPER: Actually, no, your son brought us here. LEO: Look Piper, the word is there's a Scouter Demon in the swamp, and if I don't go there - PIPER: If don't spend some time at P-3, we'll lose our only source of income. LEO: I can't do this, you know? PIPER: Yes, you can. Just make sure you burp Chris, and you will be fine. Now I gotta go, so ... help me out. (She motions to herself. Leo waves his hand and Piper is orbed out of the cavern. A little lost at what he's to do exactly, Leo looks at Wyatt.) CUT TO: [EXT. THE BAY MIRROR (STOCK) - DAY] [INT. THE BAY MIRROR - PHOEBE'S OFFICE -- DAY] (Phoebe walks across the bullpen and heads for her office's closed door. She opens the door and slips inside. In her hand, she holds a red envelope.) (She walks into the office and looks around for the best place to plant the red envelope. Before she can actually put the envelope down, the door opens.) (Phoebe hides the envelope and turns around to see Les St. Claire walk into her office.) LES ST. CLAIRE: Phoebe. PHOEBE: Hi. LES ST. CLAIRE: What are you doing here? PHOEBE: I--I came to look for my favorite pen. I know I left it in here somewhere, and I can't seem to write a thing without it. LES ST. CLAIRE: Well, I dumped all your stuff in this bottom cabinet here. (Les walks past Phoebe to look into the cabinet behind the desk.) PHOEBE: Oh, you "dumped"? (For a moment, his back is to Phoebe.) LES ST. CLAIRE: What, uh, does it look like? (Phoebe takes the opportunity and places the red envelope in Les' in bin. On the top.) PHOEBE: Uh, it's a fountain pen. Uh, nothing really special. Hey, um, since I'm here, maybe I can help with ... stuff. (He stops looking for the pen and turns around to look at Phoebe.) LES ST. CLAIRE: Help? (He stands up.) PHOEBE: Yeah. You know, maybe help pick tomorrow's letter or something. LES ST. CLAIRE: I thought you were on sabbatical. PHOEBE: Still my column. LES ST. CLAIRE: Ahh. Having a little trouble letting go, I see. PHOEBE: No, I'm not having trouble letting go. I just came here to find my pen. LES ST. CLAIRE: Give it a couple weeks. You won't even notice. PHOEBE: Yeah, I'm afraid my readers are already noticing. LES ST. CLAIRE: That you can't find your pen? PHOEBE: That I'm a man. (At his look, Phoebe clarifies.) PHOEBE: I mean, that - that you're a man when you're supposed to be a woman -- and you're not very good at picking the letters. You only pick problems that you can solve. LES ST. CLAIRE: You know, for someone taking a break, you sure have given this a lot of thought. (She chuckles.) PHOEBE: No, I'm just saying, you know, that - that ... I mean--I mean, the point ... what - what -- what was I saying? LES ST. CLAIRE: Something to do with "Me Tarzan. You Jane." PHOEBE: Yeah. Cute. Very cute. (She leafs through Les' in-bin.) Let's see ... oh, what's this one? (She grabs the red envelope.) PHOEBE: Oh, this looks like a great one. "Breast-feeding in Bayshore." What do you say? (She hands the red envelope to Les.) LES ST. CLAIRE: Breast-feeding? It seems a little causey, don't you think? PHOEBE: Out of your league? LES ST. CLAIRE: No, no. I like breasts. I just don't feel the need to give any advice on them, that's all. PHOEBE: Yeah. Like I said ... You're not good at picking letters. So, if you find my pen, please call me. (Phoebe turns and leaves the office. Les smiles and shakes his head as he watches her go.) CUT TO: [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - ROOM -- DAY] (Paige and Lady Godiva are in what appears to be Gideon's old office. Paige puts the book down on the table.) PAIGE: Oh-kay. (Paige flips through the thick history book's pages looking for information about Lady Godiva.) PAIGE: (mutters under her breath) Queen Elizabeth ... Catherine the Great ... Joan of Arc ... ah. Lady Godiva. Good thing you have long hair. (Lady Godiva stands up, absolutely impressed that she's mentioned.) LADY GODIVA: I'm in the history books? PAIGE: Yes, and if I can keep anything from happening to you before I send you back, you'll remain there. (Smiling, Lady Godiva looks at the picture illustrated in the book. Next to the horse is a dark-haired man. She recognizes him instantly. Paige notices her reaction.) PAIGE: What's wrong? LADY GODIVA: Lord Dyson. PAIGE: Isn't that your husband? LADY GODIVA: No. An evil land Baron who feeds on the pain of peasants, suppresses them for his own gain. He's the weasel who convinced my husband to tax them. PAIGE: Weren't you scared doing what you did? I mean, that was, what, about a thousand years before women received equal rights? LADY GODIVA: It was the right thing to do. It was only way to make my husband see that I was serious about my stand, to shock him. PAIGE: And history, too, apparently. (Lady Godiva smiles.) PAIGE: Okay. Mount up. (Lady Godiva turns around and heads for her horse. A thought suddenly occurs to her.) LADY GODIVA: Will it be painful? PAIGE: No. It's magic. You won't feel a thing. LADY GODIVA: Magic. I didn't think it really existed. PAIGE: Oh, it exists. It's just ... something that's hidden. You can't see it. I see not a lot of things have changed. (Lady Godiva gets on her horse.) PAIGE: Uh ... robe? LADY GODIVA: Oh. I almost forgot. (She takes the robe off and tosses it to Paige.) LADY GODIVA: Good luck...saving all this. PAIGE: Thanks. Good luck on your ride. (Lady Godiva takes a breath. Paige takes out the spell and recites.) PAIGE: (reciting) From lands afar in time and space, take her now from this our place, one that dwells so must remain, send her back to her domain. (Nothing happens.) LADY GODIVA: What's wrong? PAIGE: I don't know. It should have worked. (From the next room, a man grunts, something crashes and a woman cries out. It doesn't sound good.) PAIGE: (to Lady Godiva) Stay here. (Paige goes to check it out.) CUT TO: [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - HALLWAY / GREAT HALL - DAY] (Two kids are fist fighting in the hallway.) (In the Great Hall, someone is thrown across the doorway and across camera frame. Paige exits the classroom and heads for the Great Hall. Sounds of people fighting are everywhere. She sees the two kids fighting in the hallway and runs to the Great Hall.) (Inside the Great Hall, it is no better. Several people are fighting. Paige heads to Odin who kneels helping a girl on the floor.) PAIGE: What happened?! ODIN: You tell me. You were the one who said you could control these students. PAIGE: Okay. Well, I don't see how conjuring Lady Godiva could have caused all of this. ODIN: Unless she wasn't the only thing conjured. (In the Hall, one of the students wiggles his fingers and sends another student flying backward across the hall. Paige sees the danger and waves her hand.) PAIGE: Boxes! (The stack of boxes orb into the kid's path and he crashes into them. They break his fall.) (Odin glares at Paige.) PAIGE: Well, at least this shows how much kids need help learning to control their magic. (He gets to his feet.) ODIN: (angry) This is a disaster. A complete, utter disaster! (Just then, Invisible Lord Dyson turns the corner and approaches Odin.) LORD DYSON: Oh, by all means, don't repress yourself. (Lord Dyson's hand turns red as he allows all Odin's pent-up anger and frustration free. Odin feels the drain. He turns and looks at Lord Dyson who has now drained enough magic to become corporeal.) (Lord Dyson looks at his hands.) LORD DYSON: Ah. To be whole again. PAIGE: Who the hell are you? (At the interruption, Odin zeroes in on Paige.) ODIN: I've had it with you and your stupid ideas. (Odin raises his hand and sends a stream of electricity at Paige, zapping her in her shoulder. Paige falls to the floor, her shoulder bleeding from the fresh wound.) (Odin looks a little surprised by what he's done.) (Lord Dyson is absolutely giddy by the chaos around him.) LORD DYSON: So much repression to feed on. (Lady Godiva steps into the Great Hall and recognizes Lord Dyson.) LADY GODIVA: (accusing) You. (Lord Dyson bows mockingly at Lady Godiva. In his hand he powers up an energy ball.) LORD DYSON: My lady. (Paige sees the energy ball.) PAIGE: Watch out! (Lady Godiva ducks. He throws the energy ball at Lady Godiva, but Lord Dyson is still weak and the energy ball fizzles out before it can hit her.) LORD DYSON: No matter. I'll just collect more power, and ... then I'll be back. (Lord Dyson shimmers out of the Great Hall.) (Paige stands and moves next to Lady Godiva.) FADE OUT (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR (STOCK) - DAY] [INT. MANRO - SITTING ROOM -- DAY] (Piper is dabbing antiseptic on Paige's wound. They're both sitting on the couch. Phoebe sits on the arm rest. Lady Godiva paces the floor.) PAIGE: Oh, it's okay. It's just a graze. PHOEBE: I still can't believe an Elder attacked you. PAIGE: I know. They're supposed to be pacifists, right? PIPER: (chuckles) Have you seen Leo lately? Speaking of which ... Leo? PAIGE: He's a little mad at me, and I can't say I blame him. I did kind of mess things up. PHOEBE: Well, that doesn't explain why he tried to kill you. (Lady Godiva stops pacing and tries to interrupt them.) LADY GODIVA: Pardon me -- (They don't hear her.) PAIGE: I think the demon did something to that Elder, got him to free up his repressed anger somehow. PHOEBE: Or probably wasn't breast-fed as a child. PIPER: (annoyed) Phoebe! PHOEBE: What? (Lady Godiva changes positions and stands in front of them.) PAIGE: Well, either way. We wouldn't even be in this situation. This demon wouldn't even be here if I hadn't have had the great stroke of genius to try save the school. PIPER: So why do you think he tried to kill her? LADY GODIVA: (interrupts) If I could just - (Again, they don't hear her.) PAIGE: Maybe he knew what I didn't know, which is that since they came together, they have to leave together. PHOEBE: Yeah, but why wouldn't he want to go back? (Tired of not being heard, Lady Godiva takes her robe off.) LADY GODIVA: If you would just listen to me! (That got everyone's attention.) PHOEBE / PIPER / PAIGE: (shocked) Oh! Wow! A lot ... LADY GODIVA: It is apparently, still, the only way I can get anybody to listen to me. PIPER: Woman, keep your clothes on. This is a family show. Really. (Lady Godiva puts her robe back on.) LADY GODIVA: I know that man, or demon, as you call him. It's Lord Dyson. PAIGE: The Land Baron? LADY GODIVA: Except in my time, he was different, smaller, weaker. PIPER: Ok. So how did he get stronger? (The front doorbell rings. Lady Godiva jumps at the sound. Phoebe jumps down from her seat and rushes to the window to see who it is.) PAIGE: It's okay. Doorbell. Newfangled contraption. (She pushes the curtain aside and sees Les St. Claire standing on her porch.) PHOEBE: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. It's Leslie. PIPER: Don't answer it. PHOEBE: What if it's about my letter? PIPER: (firmly) Forget the stupid letter. PHOEBE: What, can everyone have a cause but me? PIPER: (shouts) Yes! (Phoebe heads for the door. Piper motions for everyone to leave.) PIPER: Uh! Upstairs. Upstairs! [INT. MANOR - FRONT PORCH / FOYER - DAY - CONTINUOUS] (Phoebe opens the door.) PHOEBE: Leslie! Hey! What a surprise. LES ST. CLAIRE: I brought you a peace offering. (From behind his back, he pulls out a gaudy feather pen. She takes it and stares at it.) (Behind her, he sees Piper and Paige rushing Lady Godiva up the stairs.) PHOEBE: Oh ... those are my sisters. LES ST. CLAIRE: Uh, I thought you just had two. PHOEBE: Yeah. The other one is a cousin, distant cousin ... twice removed. Come in. Come in. (Les steps into the foyer. Phoebe shuts the door and looks at the feather pen.) PHOEBE: So, you drove all the way over here just to give me this lovely pen? LES ST. CLAIRE: Well, it's your pen, isn't it? PHOEBE: You know this is not my pen. LES ST. CLAIRE: You're right. I bought that from a street vendor on my way over. Just looking for an excuse. (Phoebe laughs. Les looks around the area.) LES ST. CLAIRE: You have a nice place. The paper pays you better than I thought. PHOEBE: So what are you really doing here? LES ST. CLAIRE: I thought you might like a chance to apologize. PHOEBE: (shocked) Oh? For what? LES ST. CLAIRE: For trying to slip that breast-feeding letter past me. PHOEBE: What? LES ST. CLAIRE: Look, I know you wrote it. I recognized your handwriting, Phoebe. I've studied all your work. PHOEBE: You have? LES ST. CLAIRE: Well, yeah. How else am I gonna get away with ghostwriting a column for you? PHOEBE: Yeah, see, that's the problem. I actually don't think you're getting away with it. LES ST. CLAIRE: Because I'm a man. PHOEBE: No, because you pick letters a man would pick. LES ST. CLAIRE: "Ask Phoebe" wouldn't pick a breast-feeding letter. PHOEBE: Oh, no? LES ST. CLAIRE: No. Because it's a cause, and she doesn't do causes. PHOEBE: I know what kind of letters I'd pick. LES ST. CLAIRE: Oh, yeah? Then why are you taking a sabbatical? (Phoebe doesn't say anything.) LES ST. CLAIRE: Look, I'm sorry. It's just ... the only reason I took this gig is 'cause I'm a fan of yours. I mean, of your column, and I just want to do the best job I can, but, see, the thing is, I can't really do that with you looking over my shoulder all the time ... all right? PHOEBE: All right. LES ST. CLAIRE: All right. CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - ATTIC - DAY] (Paige looks through the Book of Shadows. Piper sits on the couch. Lady Godiva sits next to her.) LADY GODIVA: Would it be cheating too much if I peeked ahead to see what becomes of me? PIPER: Well, seeing as you're probably not going to remember any of this, I don't see why not. (Piper shows Lady Godiva the book about herself. Paige reads what she finds in the Book.) PAIGE: (sighs) The closest thing I can find is a demon who feeds off anger, but you already got him - (She reaches out and closes the Book and suddenly remembers her injured arm.) -- ow! Remember when Leo used to come when you called him? (Piper chuckles humorlessly.) PIPER: (to Lady Godiva) It says here your Lord Dyson mysteriously disappeared the day you rode through town. PAIGE: Well, I doubt that's just a coincidence. LADY GODIVA: And the tax was repealed, which means I accomplished my goal. PIPER: No offense, Lady, but, um ... you drop your trousers, liberation for all, and suddenly, your demon vanishes off the face of the earth for all of eternity. Isn't that a little far-fetched? PAIGE: No. Not if the demon feeds off of oppressions. Maybe that's how he gains his strength. (Paige re-opens the Book of Shadows.) PIPER: Well, then that would make the reverse true, as well. Your ride starved him into oblivion. (Leo orbs into the attic with Wyatt and Chris.) PIPER: Please tell me you weren't vanquishing demons with the children. LEO: Chris was fussy. It calmed him. (Leo puts Chris' bassinet and Wyatt down on the floor.) PIPER: Ha ha! Really? (Leo looks up and notices Lady Godiva.) LEO: Is that Lady -- PIPER: Yeah, yeah, yeah. (motions toward Paige) A little healing. A little healing. (Leo heads for Paige and starts healing her arm.) And then we need you to find out what they know about some sort of Repressor Demon. (He stops and stares at Piper.) LEO: You want me to go up there? PIPER: Don't worry. I'll get the elfin nanny to watch the kids. LEO: It's not what I was worried about. PAIGE: Uh, hello? Heal. Ouch. Hurt. (Paige tugs on Leo's sleeve and motions to her wounded arm.) Focus. (Leo continues to heal Paige's arm.) PIPER: I think it wouldn't hurt to have a little chat with The Elders to see what they think about ... the demon. (Leo finishes.) LEO: But what if they know about-- PIPER: I think if they knew, we would know by now. LADY GODIVA: (to Paige) Are they talking about Lord Dyson? PAIGE: No, they're talking about something that Leo did that they don't want me to know about. PIPER: (to Leo) Just go. (Leo orbs out.) PIPER: Let's find out what we can about this Repressor Demon before it starts to feed off our repressions. Shall we? CUT TO: [EXT. STREET -- DAY] (Open on a sign: NO PARKING STREET SWEEPING WEDNESDAYS 8 AM TO 12 NOON (Lord Dyson, dressed in his period clothing, turns the corner and walks through the sidewalk.) LORD DYSON: So ... this is the land of the free, eh? (Across the street, he sees a woman's car being towed. She pleads with the tower.) WOMAN: Please don't tow my car! TOWER: Read the sign, ma'am! WOMAN: Sir, please don't tow my car! LORD DYSON: Infuriating, isn't it? Well, don't hold back, hmm? Let it out. (Lord Dyson raises his hand and points it at the woman. His hand glows read and the woman's repressed frustration is freed.) (The woman punches the Tower in the face.) TOWER: No! (Lord Dyson gets a little bit stronger. He laughs gleefully at the two fighting on the other side of the street.) (He moves on.) LORD DYSON: Such a plethora of repression, it's hard to choose. Who's next, hmm? Who's next? (Across the street he sees a man with a broken foot tapping on the newspaper dispenser trying to get it open. Lord Dyson raises his hand at the man and suddenly he's pounding his frustration out on the newspaper dispenser. He lifts his crutch and bangs at it.) MAN WITH BROKEN LEG: I want my money! (Lord Dyson gets a little bit stronger.) LORD DYSON: Oh, I love this century! (Police sirens wail. A police car turns the corner. Lord Dyson powers up an energy ball and hurls it at the police car. The energy ball is strong enough to make contact.) (The police car explodes.) (The people on the street scream. Lord Dyson laughs. He looks around the area desperate to feed off the repression around him.) LORD DYSON: (eagerly) More. I need more. Come on. Who's still out there holding it in? CUT TO: [EXT. SAN FRANCISCO (STOCK) - DAY] [EXT. GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE - TOWER -- DAY] (Leo stands on top of the tower pacing the floor as he waits.) ELDER (WOMAN): Sorry to have kept you waiting. LEO: Why'd we have to meet here? Why couldn't we meet up there? ELDER (WOMAN): You didn't hear? An Elder's gone missing, Leo, perhaps killed. We can't be too careful. LEO: You think I did it? ELDER (WOMAN): You killed Gideon. LEO: He tried to kill my son. I was protecting my family. ELDER (WOMAN): We understand, but this is different. The elder was Zola, Leo, and we understand that he was trying to reach out to you when he disappeared. We are your family, Leo. You are one of us. LEO: I don't know that I am anymore. Everything's changed. ELDER (WOMAN): What, just because of what Gideon did? Leo, good is not perfect. Sometimes it messes up. But that doesn't mean it isn't still good ... and we are. LEO: Are we? ELDER (WOMAN): Listen to me, Leo. We have sensed a great and new threat gathering, one which will take everything we've got to fight, and we need you for that. We're gonna need everyone. LEO: You know what I need? I need information on a demon that feeds on Repression. Can you help me out or not? ELDER (WOMAN): I'll see what I can do. Think about what I've said. (The female Elder orbs out. Leo lingers a bit. He sighs.) CREATURE: (v.o.) You can't trust her. (Leo turns around at the sound of the Creature's voice. The Creature Head appears zooming toward him.) CREATURE: You can't trust any of them anymore. (It flies past Leo, hits the steel beam and disappears. Leo looks around the empty area.) LEO: Why are you doing this to me? (shouts) Who are you?! CUT TO: [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - HALLWAY -- DAY] (Piper and Paige walk through the Great Hall.) PAIGE: I can't believe how empty this place is without students. PIPER: Yeah, well, I'm hoping you'll find a way to save it after all this. Especially for your nephew's sake. PAIGE: Thanks. No pressure. (They step into what appears to be Gideon's old office. Phoebe is inside lighting the circle of candles. Lady Godiva is sitting on her horse naked and waiting.) PIPER: Nope. Ready to summon? PHOEBE: Yep. All ready to go. PAIGE: I still think we should wait for Leo and find out what he knows about the demon. PIPER: No, it doesn't matter. After we send them back, history will take care of them as long as you finish your ride. LADY GODIVA: Promise. And thank you ... for giving me a glimpse of what's to come. PHOEBE: Thank you for showing us you're more than a box of chocolates. LADY GODIVA: (puzzled) I'm sorry? PIPER: Hmmm. Never mind. Okay. Here we go. (Piper takes out the spell.) PIPER: (reading) We look to find the evil set free, bring this demon before us three." (Lord Dyson appears in the room.) PHOEBE: (o.s.) Hi, there! (Lord Dyson looks up. Piper blasts him. The blast hits Lord Dyson square in the chest, but it merely pushes him backward into the chair behind him. He doesn't explode.) PHOEBE: Why didn't he explode? PIPER: Chanting, chanting. (Paige, who now has the piece of paper, struggles to read the writing on it.) PAIGE: Okay, okay, okay. PAIGE: (reading) From lands afar in time and space, take them now from this our place. Two that dwell so must remain, send them back to their domain." (Lord Dyson breaks up into black orbs. Lady Godiva breaks up into golden orbs. Both sets of orbs rise up and head straight back into the History Book open on the table.) PAIGE: It worked! (A wind blows the candles out and casts the room into darkness.) PAIGE: Uh-oh. That's not good. (Piper lights a candle.) PIPER: Well, at least they're gone. PHOEBE: Great. Will you guys drop me off at the office on your orb home? PAIGE: I thought you weren't looking over Leslie's shoulders anymore. PHOEBE: Well, I'm not, but first I have to get him to pick my letter. (Phoebe smiles at them.) PIPER: Orbing. (Paige orbs them out of Magic School.) CUT TO: [INT. THE BAY MIRROR - HALLWAY TO BULLPEN / BULLPEN - DAY -- CONTINUOUS] (They all appear in the hallway outside the Bay Mirror's main doors.) PHOEBE: Ok, thanks. Meet you guys at home. (Phoebe pushes the doors open and stops when she sees the bullpen. The women inside the bullpen are dressed in charcoal grey or black - long sleeved jackets and long, ankle-length skirts. Their shoes are plain and black. All women have their hair tied back with a kerchief.) PHOEBE: Looks like everyone took Elise's sexual harassment memo literally. LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: (o.s.) Phoebe? What are you doing here? (Les lingers in the office doorway. He's dressed in a suit and tie.) LES ST. CLAIRE: What are you wearing? Who's watching our children? (Phoebe stares at Les in shock.) Why aren't you at home with them? PHOEBE: Excuse me? (Piper reaches for Phoebe and pulls her back out into the hallway.) PIPER: Come on. (Phoebe closes the main doors.) PHOEBE: Okay. What the hell is going on? (Piper stares at the poster up on the wall.) PIPER: I think I know. (The poster reads: ASK LESLIE He'll Tell You How To Handle Your Woman ) PAIGE: Oh, I told you we should've waited for Leo. PIPER: Shut up! FADE OUT (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [EXT. STREET -- DAY] (Piper, Phoebe and Paige walk across the street. The scenery outside is cast in a slightly gray-ish color-less tinge.) PHOEBE: It's not so bad if you like gray. PIPER: I don't understand how everything changed so much. PAIGE: Well, we sent the demon back stronger than when he came, strong enough to kill Lady Godiva. PHOEBE: Still, it's hard to believe her ride affected just everything. Look at this. PIPER: Apparently it had an impact on us women, because it sent us back, like, a thousand years or so. PHOEBE: We have to fix this. PIPER: Oh, no! I left Wyatt and Chris with the Elfin Nanny before -- PHOEBE: That's okay. They're boys. They're probably being treated like royalty right now. (Paige nods.) PHOEBE: Hey, why didn't we change? PAIGE: Probably because we were at magic school and protected? (Suddenly, they notice that they're sticking out like sore thumbs. Across the street, a group of men stare at them - as does a group of women and children off to the side.) PAIGE: Okay, guys, I think we're attracting a little too much attention out here. What say we orb back to the Book of Shadows? PHOEBE: No, I don't want to go back home. PIPER: Why? PHOEBE: Did you hear what Leslie said? (Piper throws up her arms.) PAIGE: Well, we can't stay out here. We're attracting too much attention. (Piper sees something that has her staring.) PIPER: Yeah, and we wouldn't want to be flogged. (Piper, Phoebe and Paige walk over to the large public sign: POSTED WOMEN WHO TALK IN PUBLIC WILL BE FLOGGED ) PIPER: So much for your breast-feeding campaign. PHOEBE: Cute. (Behind them, we hear horse hoofs on concrete.) POLICEMAN: Hey! (They turn around and see a police officer on horseback approaching them.) CUT TO: [INT. JAIL CELL - DAY] (The barred door slams shut in Piper's face with a loud clang. Phoebe and Paige flinch at the sound.) (The Guard turns and leaves.) GUARD: Every peep out of you adds an extra flogging to your sentence. PHOEBE: What is flogging exactly? (Phoebe sits down on the bench against the wall.) PAIGE: I don't know, but how about we orb out of here so we don't have to find out? (Paige sits down next to Phoebe.) PIPER: Where are we gonna go? We still have to fix this somehow. GUARD: (o.s.) That's two extra floggings each! (A second door slams shut.) PIPER: Okay. Look, we need to figure out something, 'cause I need to feed someone soon. PAIGE: What if Lady Godiva's still alive? PHOEBE: Oh, Paige, I know you're upset. We all are, but we can't bring her back to life. PAIGE: No, no, no. Why can't we conjure her? That way, she'd still be alive and her ride would still be ahead of her. PIPER: I don't know how that's gonna get us back to our world. PAIGE: Well, maybe it will if she can finish her ride. PHOEBE: We'd have to vanquish the demon first this time. PAIGE: We can do that. We just have to get out of here. PIPER: (whispers) Leo! PHOEBE: Oh, what if he's different in this world, too? PIPER: That's a mighty fine question. (whispers loudly) Lee-ooh! (Leo orbs into the jail cell.) LEO: What are you guys doing here? (He looks at them.) LEO: What are you wearing? (Piper stares at Leo who is dressed in a suit and tie as the other men of that world are.) PIPER: Uh, look, we're kinda in a hurry, so Cliff Notes version, demon killed Lady Godiva, we changed history, we gotta fix it, so are you with me or what? LEO: Lady Godiva? PIPER: Ugh! PHOEBE: Yeah, she probably doesn't mean much to you, but apparently she means a lot to us. PAIGE: (thinking) Duncan. We're going to need Duncan to conjure her. Leo, can you take me to magic school? LEO: Mag--magic school has been shut for years. Everyone's in hiding here, even demons. No one dare uses magic. PHOEBE: Talk about repressed. PAIGE: Oh, well, magic still exists, which means this kid Duncan has to be somewhere, right? CUT TO: [EXT. ALLEYWAY - NIGHT] (Leo and Paige orb into the alleyway. She looks around and sees groups of teenagers throwing dice and making potions.) LEO: They got no place else to go. (Another group of teenagers use their magic and throws cards at the wall.) LEO: We keep them here for their own safety. (Paige sees Duncan standing off by himself.) PAIGE: Okay. Go back to Phoebe and Piper. Help them find the history book. We're gonna need it. Don't ask. It will just give you a headache. (Leo orbs out. Paige walks over to Duncan. He has his back to her and we can hear the rustling of a plastic bag as he quickly shoves it into his bag trying to hide it from Paige.) PAIGE: Duncan? DUNCAN: Nobody by that name here. PAIGE: Ah, yeah, well, look, I don't have time to play games. DUNCAN: Neither do I, so if you're thinking of jacking my stash, don't. (Paige picks up the plastic bag on the can.) PAIGE: Murdock root. This is your stash? (Duncan grabs Paige and pushes her against the wall.) DUNCAN: Look, lady, I'm warning you. Back off! Understand? (Paige orbs out and back in behind Duncan.) DUNCAN: You're one of them freedom fighters? PAIGE: I don't know about that, but I would like to free you from this, uh, life you've got going here. I just need a conjuring spell. DUNCAN: Are you trying to get me hanged? Just 'cause these guys are getting away with some piss-ass magic doesn't mean we're not being watched. PAIGE: Look. I come from a world where good magic isn't wasted. And it can be that way again. I just need your conjuring spell. DUNCAN: You are one of the do-gooders. They're always spewing that crap. PAIGE: No, this is crap. Ok? Because I know you have dreams and I know you have hopes and you're just suppressing them. DUNCAN: You think I'm scared of my dreams, don't you? No, 'cause I'm not. PAIGE: You have a choice. You can either step up and be a man or you can crawl back in your little rat hole. It's up to you. CUT TO: [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - GREAT HALL -- NIGHT] (Leo lights the candles in the Great Hall. The hall is dusty and cobwebs hang from the candle stands. The place is dark and abandoned.) (Phoebe leafs through the History Book on the table. Piper stands next to her.) PHOEBE: No Joan of Arc, no Catherine the Great, none of them are in here. PIPER: Keep looking. PHOEBE: It's pretty amazing that this world is so much more repressed and yet Leo seems freer. PIPER: Yeah, I almost forgot what he was like. (Paige orbs into the Great Hall.) PAIGE: Ok. I got the spell. Did you find Godiva? PHOEBE: Yep, right here, but talk about your fine print. PAIGE: It doesn't matter as long as she's in there. LEO: So, wait, I don't understand. If you return her back to just before she was killed, history will reverse itself? PAIGE: I warned you about the headache thing, right? Okay. So as soon as we get them here, you blast Dyson, then we send her back right away. PHOEBE: I thought we had to send them back together. PAIGE: I'm hoping no, not if Dyson doesn't exist anymore. PIPER: But first we gotta to make sure we're okay. There's no buried resentments that a hungry demon could feed off of? Phoebe? PHOEBE: No, I'm fine. As long as Leslie's not in the room, I'm fine. You? PIPER: No, I'm good. I pretty much tell you guys when I'm pissed off. That's a good point. Paige? PAIGE: Sometimes I feel repressed being the little sister. PIPER: What, you wanted to be the oldest sister? Come on, now. Get over it. PAIGE: Okay, I'm over it. (Paige opens the paper and reads the spell.) PAIGE: (reads) Where royals once lived, so did she, Bring forth a naked lady from the eleventh century. (They all turn to look at the illustration in the History Book. Golden orbs and Black orbs rise out from the page. Lady Godiva and her horse appear in the Great Hall. Lord Dyson also appears.) (With their appearance, the Great Hall changes to the state it was before they sent Lady Godiva back to History. Golden light starts at the center of the Great Hall and works its way outward casting the entire hall - the entire world - in light and color. As it passes over Leo, Leo also changes back into his scruffy jacket and shirt.) PAIGE: That's more like it. (Paige rushes over to Lady Godiva with a robe to cover her.) LADY GODIVA: Paige? I thought you were sending me back?! PAIGE: Change of plans. LORD DYSON: Perhaps I need a little more power. (Lord Dyson raises his hand and looks at Paige as he searches for repressed feelings.) PAIGE: Okay. (He doesn't find any. He turns to Phoebe.) PHOEBE: Nice try. (He moves over to Piper and hits the jackpot.) (His hand glows red as he sucks out all of Piper's repressed feelings and resentment toward Leo.) PAIGE: Piper? LORD DYSON: So much bottled up anger. (Leo steps forward. Piper turns and looks at him.) PIPER: You know what? Enough with your moping. The Elders screwed you?! What about me? PHOEBE: (warning) Piper, what are you doing? (Piper is just getting started.) PIPER: (ignores her) I am not gonna raise two little boys all on my own because you're too busy feeling sorry for yourself! All right? So get over it! Seriously! (Lord Dyson turns and looks at Lady Godiva.) LORD DYSON: Now, where was I? (He powers up an energy ball and hurls it at Lady Godiva. Paige holds out her hand and sends the energy ball back at Lord Dyson.) PAIGE: Energy ball! (The energy ball hits Lord Dyson square in the chest. He staggers backward from the impact, but doesn't explode.) PAIGE: That's not good. (Meanwhile, Piper's pissed at Leo, blasting him into orbs. Leo continuously orbs back into the room.) LEO: Piper, enough! (Piper ignores him and continues to blast him.) (Phoebe looks at Paige.) PHOEBE: Okay. You get Piper. I'll get him. (Paige rushes to Piper. Phoebe runs over to Lord Dyson and kicks him in the neck. He staggers backward against the door, but Phoebe falls to the floor from the impact of her kick.) LEO: (o.s.) Piper! (Paige grabs Piper's wrist and forces Piper to look at her.) PAIGE: Piper, snap out of it! It's the demon doing this to you, not Leo. (Piper looks from Leo to Lord Dyson. Lord Dyson glares at Phoebe as he powers up an energy ball. He looms over her and gets ready to hurl it point blank at Phoebe.) PIPER: Nooo! (Piper turns to blast him. Lord Dyson looks at Piper and shimmers out of the Great Hall.) (This is not good.) PHOEBE: (o.s.) Piper. (Piper puts her hands down and grimaces.) FADE OUT (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR (STOCK) - NIGHT] [INT. MANOR - DINING ROOM / SITTING ROOM - NIGHT] (Piper walks out of the kitchen, through the dining room and into the sitting room. She's carrying a glass of water. Phoebe and Paige follow her.) PIPER: How am I supposed to know I was so repressed? PAIGE: You couldn't tell? PIPER: I'm a working single mother of two kids. I barely have time to brush my teeth, let alone self-reflection. PHOEBE: Well, maybe you should make time. [INT. MANOR - CONSERVATORY - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS] (Piper hands the glass of water to Lady Godiva who drinks it. Leo sits next to her on the couch.) LEO: Nothing that needed healing. She's just a little shaken up. PHOEBE: I'll bet she is. PAIGE: Well, guys, we better come up with a plan because Lord Dyson is out there getting stronger as we speak. PHOEBE: (whispers) Thanks to Piper. PIPER: All right! PAIGE: Look, all we're saying is that when he comes back -- PHOEBE: ... and he will. PAIGE: He might be too strong to stop, especially if he taps into Leo's repressed rage. LADY GODIVA: I'm not going to be able to finish my ride, am I? CUE SOUND: SHIMMERING (OFF-SCREEN) LORD DYSON: (o.s.) No, you're not. (They're startled by the interruption.) (Lord Dyson powers up an energy ball in his hand.) (Leo pulls Lady Godiva off the couch just as Lord Dyson throws the energy ball at her.) (It misses them and smashes the couch into pieces.) (Piper raises her hands and blasts Lord Dyson. He staggers backward into the dining room table, but doesn't explode. Lord Dyson easily gets to his feet. He laughs.) [INT. MANOR - LIVING ROOM / MAIN HALL - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS] (Piper runs and joins everyone in the living room.) PIPER: Orb her out of here. PAIGE: No. She won't stand a chance. He'll feed off Leo. (Lord Dyson walks through the Conservatory, brushing his robes. Everyone turns around and looks at him.) (He powers up an energy ball and throws it at Piper. Piper holds out her hand and blasts it mid-air sending the energy rippling back at Lord Dyson. He staggers backward from the impact of the moving energy.) (Piper turns to Paige.) PIPER: (insistent) Just get her out of here. We'll think of something. (Paige orbs Lady Godiva out.) (Piper and Phoebe run up the stairs.) PHOEBE: (grumbling) "We'll think of something?" That's the best you can do? (Lord Dyson turns and sees Leo running up the stairs. He powers up and throws an energy ball at Leo. The stair railing explodes on impact. Leo falls to the ground, but isn't hurt.) (Leo gets up and throws a stream of electricity at Lord Dyson - first with his right hand, then with his left. Lord Dyson dodges both throws.) (Leo heads up the stairs.) (Lord Dyson follows.) CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - SECOND FLOOR HALLWAY - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS] (Piper and Phoebe hurry through the hallway.) PIPER: I'm officially open to other ideas. PHOEBE: Ok. Maybe we should let him get to Leo. Maybe he'll overdose. PIPER: Or become unstoppable. PHOEBE: He already is that. (Leo reaches the second floor hallway and runs toward them.) LEO: Okay. I am orbing you guys outta here. PIPER: No. Actually you're going to let him feed on you. See ya! (Piper turns and heads for the bedroom. Phoebe wishes Leo luck.) PHOEBE: Good luck, man. LEO: (huh?) What?! (Leo turns around and sees Lord Dyson reach the second floor hallway. He raises his hand.) LORD DYSON: Let's see what you've been hiding from me. (Piper and Phoebe watch from behind the bedroom door.) LORD DYSON: Ohh, so much, so ready to come out. Well, let it out. Let it all out. (Big mistake. Lord Dyson's hand glows as he attempts to suck out all of Leo's rage, anger and frustration. Unlike the others, the transfer isn't quick and easy - it goes on and on and on.) (Leo glares at the object of his frustration and lets his anger out at the Demon.) LEO: You demons have it so easy. (Leo's rage continues to flow out of him toward Lord Dyson's hand. Lord Dyson can't stop it.) LEO: No morality to worry about ... no attachments. (Lord Dyson struggles with the anger and rage he's sucking out of Leo.) LEO: No one to lose. (Phoebe and Piper watch from behind the bedroom door.) PIPER: (cheers) Yeah, you tell him, Leo! (And still, the anger flows out of Leo and into Lord Dyson.) LEO: When you kill, you feel nothing! (He shouts the last word. Lord Dyson overloads on Leo's anger and finally explodes.) LORD DYSON: Ohh! (The explosion is huge. Piper quickly shuts the bedroom door.) PIPER: Oh! (Leo covers his face from the bits of wood from furniture that didn't survive the explosion. Lord Dyson is gone.) (The bedroom door opens. Piper and Phoebe step outside into the hallway.) PIPER: (to Leo) How you doin'? Feels good to get rid of all that stuff, huh? (Leo smiles sheepishly at her.) (Paige and Lady Godiva step back into the hallway.) PAIGE: Ahh, you did it. You vanquished him. PHOEBE: Thanks to Leo. LADY GODIVA: (smiles) Oh, finally, I'm free! (Lady Godiva takes her robe off. No one really flinches from her nakedness anymore.) (Looking at Lady Godiva, Piper smiles and nods.) PIPER: Yes, you are. (Piper reaches up and covers Leo's eyes with her hand. She turns his head away from Lady Godiva's nakedness and affectionately taps his cheek to keep his gaze averted.) (Camera holds on Lady Godiva and Paige, who has her hand over her eyes. Lady Godiva smiles and glances back at Paige.) CUT TO: [EXT. VARIOUS SAN FRANCISCO SCENES (STOCK) - DAWN TO DAY] [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - GREAT HALL -- DAY] (Lady Godiva sits on her horse waiting to be sent back to her time so she can finish her ride. Duncan backs away from Paige.) DUNCAN: Me? Why don't you send her back? I don't want to use magic anymore. PAIGE: You can't stop using your magic any more than you can stop breathing, Duncan. DUNCAN: Well, I don't want to be that way anymore. PAIGE: You don't have a choice. None of us do. Look, you messed up. Big deal! That's what you're here for, to learn, to gain control over your powers. You have to show that you can fix this for all our sakes. DUNCAN: But what if they're watching? PAIGE: I hope they're watching. You can do this. (Duncan nods. He walks over to Lady Godiva.) DUNCAN: (to Lady Godiva) So, uh ... you ready to go back? LADY GODIVA: I can't wait. (Lady Godiva takes her robe off. Duncan doesn't move. Paige taps him on his shoulder to snap him out of it.) PAIGE: Duncan, the spell? DUNCAN: Oh. Right. Right. Um ... DUNCAN: (reciting) A time for everything and everything in place, Return what's been moved through time and space. (Lady Godiva and her horse change into golden orbs and is sent back into the pages of the open History Book on the table. This time, there is no Lord Dyson in the illustration.) PAIGE: I knew you could do it. (Odin orbs into the Great Hall.) PAIGE: (to Duncan) I got this one. (Odin shakes his finger at Paige.) ODIN: You can't help yourself, can you, Paige? You just can't leave well enough alone. PAIGE: If well enough alone means shutting down Magic School, then no. Then no, I can't. If you don't give these amazing kids a place to go and express themselves, then you are going to be crushing their spirits and relegating them to hiding in caves and alleyways and abusing magic, because they have nowhere else to turn. ODIN: I think you've made your point. PAIGE: (confused) So ... ODIN: So ... (beat) ... we won't shut it down. PAIGE: What? ODIN: As long as you can prove that you can keep running it. PAIGE: (double-takes) Me? Aw, no, no, not--no. (chuckles) No, I'll find someone. Ah-ah ... (Ignoring her protests, Odin orbs out. Duncan steps up to Paige.) DUNCAN: You can do this. CUT TO: [EXT. STREET AND SIDEWALK CAFÉ -- DAY] (Piper walks across the street and heads for the Sidewalk Café. She stops next to Paige who is standing at the edge of the sidewalk near the street.) PIPER: Hey, this better be good. I was just in the middle of putting Wyatt down for a nap. (Paige pulls Piper and turns her to face outward toward the street.) PAIGE: Yeah. It looks like Lady Godiva has quite an impact on our Phoebe's cause. (Close-up of Piper's shocked expression.) PIPER: Oh, my goodness! PHOEBE'S POV (ANGLE down onto the sidewalk below. We hear horse hooves and see the various spectators on the sidewalk stop and stare as they ooo and aah over what they're seeing.) CLOSE-UP: PHOEBE'S BARE FOOT (Camera holds on Phoebe's bare foot in the stirrup. It moves up her bare leg and over the long, blonde-hair that's barely covering her naked hips.) (Phoebe makes her way slowly toward the sidewalk café. She stops in front of the café.) (The Manager of the café steps out of the building.) MANAGER: Excuse me. (Phoebe points to the Manager.) PHOEBE: This man is still living in the eleventh century! He wants women to be barefoot and pregnant and stay at home. (The crowd boo's the Manager. The Manager turns to leave, but the crowd won't part to let him go.) PHOEBE: He thinks we should be ashamed of breast-feeding, the most natural thing in the world. (Piper's eyes widen and she can't stop from smiling.) Well, shame on him! I'm not ashamed and neither should you be. (The crowd cheers.) PHOEBE: And it's a shame that women have to take off their clothes to be heard. We shouldn't have to be exploited like this. Right?! CROWD: Right! CROWD: Yeah! (Cornered, the Manager pushes through the crowd.) MANAGER: Ok, ok. Excuse me. Excuse me. (He takes the sign down from his window and holds it out in front of him.) MANAGER: There! Are you satisfied now? (The crowd cheers as the Manager heads into the building.) CROWD: Yeah! CROWD: Yeah! CROWD: Woo! CROWD: Yeah! (Paige sighs.) (Piper smiles at Phoebe.) (Phoebe turns her horse around and heads back down the street. The crowd applauds. Paige pats Piper's shoulder sympathetically. Piper gives in and applauds as well.) CUT TO: [INT. THE BAY MIRROR - PHOEBE'S OFFICE - DAY -- CONTINUOUS] (Through the window blinds from the office up above, Les St. Claire watches Phoebe leave on her white horse. He stops and thinks about it for a moment.) (Smiling, he heads back to his desk, sits down and goes through his in bin looking for Phoebe's letter. He pulls out the red stationery and reads the letter.) (He puts it down and turns to the computer to write out the next column. He smiles as he types.)
