Charmed (1998–2006): Season 6, Episode 3 - Forget Me... Not - full transcript

When Wyatt inadvertently brings a dragon to life, the Cleaners spring into action to protect the magic from being exposed. The Charmed Ones take on the Cleaners in order to protect the child.

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

We don't have much time,
they're gonna follow us.

-How do we stop them?
-We have to think of something.

We can't just let them take Wyatt.

Incoming!

It's pointless to run.

You can't have him.

You're only delaying
the inevitable, I'm afraid.

Now, if you don't mind,
we have a lot of cleaning to do.

No!

[GRUNTING]



Leo!

Wyatt!

An elder, good.
Perhaps you can explain it to her.

Explain? Explain what?

Well, do something.
Don't just stand there.

I can't.

-Nobody can.
-What the hell are you talking about?

Please, he's just a baby.

It won't happen again.
I won't let it happen again.

Sorry, we can't take that risk.

MAN 1:
Don't worry.

You won't remember
any of this anyway.

What are you doing here?

I don't know.



Better go.

What were we talking about?

-I don't know.
-I'm beat. I'm gonna go up to bed.

Yeah, I'm tired too.

You all right?

Yeah, I just feel like
I'm forgetting something.

Like what?

I don't know.

Must not be very important.

MAN [OVER TV]:
Say goodbye to yesterday's rain

and "Good morning, sunshine."

It is a beautiful Wednesday
in San Francisco,

and if you're like me, you want
to forget all about yesterday.

WOMAN [OVER TV]:
I know I do. Thank you very much.

Any infomercials
for stain remover on there?

You have a stain
that needs removal?

Yes, I spilled coffee
on my blouse yesterday,

so that dork walking around the office
with a big old stain on her shirt,

-that'd be me.
-Have you tried baking soda?

No, it's dry-clean only,
so it's gonna eat up a half a day's pay.

The pay is lousy, your boss is
a sexist pig, why don't you just quit?

The job sucks
and it's just a temp job anyway.

Because, if I want a life
outside of magic,

I can't just quit
every time a job starts sucking.

Besides, I stuck around
with the dog-walking job,

and hey, I wound up
helping somebody.

Yeah, okay, but that was once.

What are the odds of something
like that happening again?

I don't know. But sometimes they say
you gotta ride a lot of different horses

on the merry-go-round
before you find what you're looking for.

Carousel.

Sorry?

Well, a merry-go-round
has lots of animals,

a carousel only has horses.

Okay, why do you
even know that, weirdo?

I have no idea.

[BABY CRYING]

-Did you hear that?
-Hear what?

-Now it's gone.
-Now what's gone?

I know this may sound crazy,
but I think I just heard a baby.

Yeah, you're crazy.

PHOEBE:
Piper!

Oh, my God, I heard something.

Oh, be quiet. Coming.

How long do you think she's gonna
spend down there, the rest of her life?

Yeah, long enough to be sure

she doesn't shove her tongue down
the throat of the next delivery guy.

PHOEBE:
I heard that.

For your information, we're lucky
that guy didn't sue me

for sexual harassment.

Well, you were
channeling his emotions.

That's not the point.

The point is, I have to figure out
how to work my new power,

or I'm gonna have to lock myself down
in this basement for the rest of my life.

Stay behind the yellow line.

I might channel
what you both are feeling.

Sure, would you like me
to toss you your breakfast?

What happened to your head?

This? I don't know.

I've been so scattered lately,
I must have bumped it or something.

Now, are either one of you
feeling any strong emotions?

Anger? Sadness?

Annoyance?

-You may proceed.
PIPER: Thanks.

Wait a minute.

One of you is feeling insecure.

What? I'm just feeling
a little off today, that's all.

Stop looking at me like that.

And you cut the crust off my toast,

and cut my eggs into little bits,

and look,
there's applesauce and milk.

Piper, I'm not in second grade.

I just thought maybe you'd like
some milk, for some strong bones.

Okay, what is going on
with you, lady?

Carousels, hearing babies
and now milk for strong bones.

Wait, you were hearing babies?

Forget it, I'm sure it's nothing.
Forget it.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hey, Elise, how'd you like the...?

ELISE [OVER PHONE]:
You're not getting off that easy.

-What?
-Just get in here!

No, I can't come in today,
because I am very sick.

[COUGHING]

Yesterday you completely
turned the office upside down!

Wait, but I didn't come in yesterday.

-Yes, you did!
-Oh, I did?

I don't care if that was
a Phoebe Halliwell look-alike,

you get your butt in here now
or it's your job!

-Do you understand? I mean it!
-Oh, okay.

What was that about?

That was Elise.

She wants me to come
into work ASAP, or it's my job.

Your job? Why would she say that?

I have no idea.
Something about yesterday.

Must have bumped my head
pretty hard, huh?

Well, looks like you're gonna
have to brave the big, bad world.

-Want me to give you a ride?
-No, I'll drive.

This way I can get in and out fast.

Hey, don't forget your coats.
It might rain.

PAIGE: Would you stop
mothering us, please?

[PHONE RINGING]

PAIGE: Ritz, Teukolsky
and Ruben. Please hold.

Ritz, Teukolsky and Ruben.
Please hold.

Who are you holding for?

You wouldn't happen to need
any help with anything, would you?

Flo, what happened?

I just got fired,
that's what happened.

What? Oh, not you.
You call back, or something.

I don't understand. Why?

You ought to know.

No, I don't, and I want to help,
believe me,

but I can't help unless you tell me,
you know, why you were fired.

So Mr. Stewick
gets me in his office and says,

either I go out with him again,
or he fires me.

I didn't take his offer.

So he told me to pack up.
My word against his, you know?

I would have gone in
with you if you asked.

I did, I asked you yesterday.

Obviously, I don't rank high enough
in importance for you to remember.

No, no, seriously,
I would remember that.

Excuse me, do you mind?

Back to the phones, Francine.

Paige. My name is Paige.

Whatever. You're a temp.
Do you wanna help people?

Sit your pretty ass back down,
answer the damn phone.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Leo, hey!

I didn't know you were coming here.

I can see that.
Are you drinking beer?

I was gonna pay for that.

Chris, what are you doing
sitting around here?

Aren't you supposed to be
getting to know your new charge?

Oh, hi, Leo.

Okay, look, before you get mad,

you're the one who wanted me
to have a charge in the first place.

-Yeah, to protect her.
-Oh, he was using protection.

Yeah, I don't think
that's what he meant.

Are you out of your mind?

Aside from this being out of line,
it's completely against the rules.

Yeah, you're one to talk.

Oh, I don't think that's his point.

Why don't I just, um...

...leave you two alone?

Look, I was just having a little fun,
what's the big deal?

It's not like I have anything
pressing to do anyway.

You don't have anything pressing?

Then why exactly did you come back
from the future in the first place?

Uh, I don't know.

-I forgot.
-You forgot.

[LAUGHS]

[BABY CRYING]

-Do you hear that?
-What?

Never mind.
We'll talk about this later.

Is he gone?

[INDISTINCT TALKING]

I don't care what she says, Phoebe,
I always wanted to do what you did,

and, man, was it good
to see you do it!

Oh, thanks for your support, Frank.

-Hey, Elise, what is going on out...?
-Sit.

I wanted to talk to you alone
before I involved any lawyers.

Lawyers? What...?

I'm not going to pretend that the only
reason you're still working here

is that you're an asset
to the paper.

But what the hell
came over you yesterday?

Yesterday?

Because there are three workers
out with injuries.

Jackie's got a broken nose!
Not to mention...

Yeah, that does look
like it hurts a lot.

It's all I can do
to keep lawsuits from pouring in.

If there were, perhaps,
a reasonable explanation

for your behavior yesterday...

Elise, I'm sorry. But I honestly
have no idea what you're talking about.

Phoebe!

[COUGHING]

I'm feeling a lot worse. I gotta go.

Okay, here we go.
All right, come on, sweetheart.

Now, don't be fussy.

You hungry?

Don't be fussy.
Do you want a bottle?

[BABY CRYING]

You know, if you bounce a little,
and make a shushing sound,

-it usually helps.
-Shh.

-Hi.
-Shh.

Wow, that was amazing.
How did you calm him down so fast?

Well, the shushing sound supposedly
reminds them of the womb.

Amazing. You must be a terrific mom
to know all this stuff.

No, actually, I don't have kids.

Really? Guess I just assumed.

Oh, well, I always wanted them.

I babysat a lot, but...

I should go.

Um,

-my diapers?
-Oh, sorry.

-Thank you.
-Got it?

Yep. You okay, sweetheart?
Want some chips?

Leo.

Piper, what are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

No, that's not what I meant.

It's just...

-I shouldn't be here.
-No, you shouldn't.

I mean, I asked you to stay away
for a good reason.

So that I could learn
to live without you.

I know.

And if you just keep orbing in
whenever you feel like it,

that's not really gonna help me.

You're right. I'm sorry. It's just...

Never mind, I should be going.

What were you gonna say?

Nothing.

You haven't by any chance...

I know this is gonna sound
a little weird.

Been hearing things lately,
have you?

-Hearing things?
-Yeah, you know, like,

I could swear a couple times today,
I heard a...

-A baby?
-You too?

Pretty strange, huh?

-Do you think it means anything?
-I don't know.

I mean, maybe it's just that
we both regret not having children.

Which... Why didn't we?

I don't know. We both wanted to.

I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

PHOEBE:
Piper, we need you upstairs!

Be right there.

Um,

you should probably go.

But what if you need help?
What if it's a demon?

Leo, you're not our whitelighter
anymore. Chris is.

Except he's busy.

I gave him another witch
to look after yesterday.

Well, then I guess we're just gonna
have to handle it alone, won't we?

So you're saying you started a riot
but you don't remember it?

Yeah, it must have been
how this happened,

and why Elise was so mad at me.

I thought Elise was just like that.

Well, yeah, she kind of is.

Hey, you okay?

I'm feeling a very emotional vibe
from you right now.

I'm fine. Stop that.

What I don't understand is,
if you don't remember the riot,

how do you know you started it?

I had a vision. And by the way,
the vision occurred yesterday.

Maybe you were channeling
somebody else's anger.

Probably, I just don't remember.

So you both have events that
you can't remember from yesterday.

Yeah, there was the riot,
and Paige's blouse.

And this thing with this girl Flo
from work. Did you forget anything?

You're asking me to remember
what I've apparently forgotten?

I don't know. I remember getting up,
I remember going downstairs,

but the rest is kind of a blur.

I think somebody's messing with us.

Making us forget.

But these all seem
like such random moments to forget.

Where's the connection?

Well, that's why we wrote a spell:
to fill in the blanks.

We know you might be reluctant
because of what happened

the last time we cast a spell
on your memory...

No, you're right. Let's do it.

-Really?
-Something's going on.

The only thing
we don't know is what.

All right, here we go.

"Moments lost make witches wonder"

Warlocks plot or demons plunder

If this is not a prank

"Help us to fill in the blanks"

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

It's raining.

Hey, your Band-Aid's gone.

And you're wearing that blouse.

Except for I've got no coffee stain.

[BABY CRYING]

Oh, my God.

I remember now. I'm a mom.

Today is yesterday.

Well, the spell didn't return our
memories, it just rewound the day.

Yeah, but why?

Why else? To help us remember what
somebody obviously wants us to forget.

Okay, but how could I have possibly
forgotten about Wyatt?

What could have happened
to make that happen?

Piper, it's not just you.
We were all made to forget about him.

And a whole bunch of other things.

But I'm his mother,
it's my job to protect him and I failed.

Don't be ridiculous, you did not fail.

Okay, now he's fussing.
Come on, sweetie, it's okay.

And now I can't get him
to stop fussing.

Well, you're just feeling insecure.

And Wyatt is feeling...

...very, very sad right now.

Poor little guy. See, this is why
I lock myself in the basement.

I am a wreck.

Okay, we're kind of against
the clock right now.

Maybe we should just
take it into the other room.

-I think that's a good idea.
-Okay, bud, here we go.

Here we go, okay.

Hey, lookie, how about this?

You like this guy? Hello. No?

Pheebs, a little help here.

We hate that toy.
It's yucky and crusty and gross.

Okay, then what does he want?

That.

Yeah, see, I am a failure.

No, you're not. We just happen to have
more pressing concerns right now

than the media's influence.

Okay?

Okay.

WOMAN [OVER TV]:
R-E-D.

Okay, sweetie, Mommy will just
be in the next room okay? Okay.

O-R-A-N-G-E. Orange.

G-R-E-E-N. Green.

MAN [OVER TV]:
On the uneven parallel bars...

[DRAGONS GROWLING]

Okay, we remember everything
that happened before today, right?

Yeah, but...

And we're not gonna remember
everything unless we do something.

Paige, don't be impatient with me.

I'm feeling so much today,
I don't need this too.

Okay, all I'm saying is,

whatever caused us to forget
is gonna happen next.

We just have to relive this day
and see where it leads.

Yeah, but if we're not careful,
where it leads

will be right back where
we started, without Wyatt.

Except we know something
is gonna happen to him,

so all we have to do
is look for clues,

keep our eyes open and stop it.

How are we supposed to know
what's important?

It's all important
because it's all connected to Wyatt,

so we just have to see
the connection.

So you're supposed
to go to your temp job

and wait for coffee
to be spilled on you?

Yeah, exactly. So much
for my life outside of magic.

Now, you,
you have got to go to work...

Start a riot and get a cut on my head
and lose my job? No, thank you.

You have to.
It's the only way to save Wyatt.

[SIGHS]

[DRAGON GROWLS]

So I guess I'm supposed
to stay home...

[GLASS SHATTERING]

Wyatt?

How did those open?

Must have been the wind.

But they were locked.

Could be a clue, let's remember it.

-You gonna be okay here by yourself?
-Do I have a choice?

Wanna switch with me?

Okay, just call us
if anything weird happens.

[WYATT GIGGLES]

CHRIS:
You're kidding, right?

I don't have time for another charge.

-Why not?
-Because I just don't.

Why do you want me to oversee
another witch, anyway?

Because I want to see
what you can do, what you can handle.

Oh, please, you just don't want me
around the sisters all the time,

because you don't trust me.

Chris, protecting charges
is what we do.

And besides, when I was
a whitelighter, I had other charges.

Leo, I didn't come all the way
from the future

to protect and oversee
other charges.

I came for one reason,
and one reason only.

-To protect Wyatt.
-Yeah.

From some demon
who will attack in the future

but you're not sure which one.

Hey, man, fine, whatever.
Don't believe me.

All I'm saying is, there is no way I'm
taking on another charge and that's...

...that.

-Hi, Leo, sorry I'm late.
-It's okay.

You must be Chris.

I'm Natalie.

Maybe just one more.

Phoebe, thank God you came in.

The server crashed
and we lost your column.

-Do you have a hard copy?
-I'll check in my office.

It's not what you did, Elise,
it's how you did it.

Well, lucky I'm editor.
I don't care what you think.

-Don't think we're done here, mister!
-Screw you, Elise!

[LAUGHING]

You think that's funny, huh?

Hold it! Wait! Don't!

Ooh.

Stay calm, just stay calm. Just,
you know, tell me what happened.

Mr. Stewick has been asking me out
ever since I got here.

-Okay, so you went on a date.
-Well, if you could call it a date.

He tried to grab my ass,
I threw a drink in his face.

I have avoided him ever since.
I'm so stupid!

I shouldn't have gone out with him
in the first place.

Okay, so tell me
what happened next.

Next. Next, he wants me
to meet him in his office

tomorrow morning, bright and early.

He says it's official.

I need this job, but I'm afraid
to face him alone.

Do you think
you could come with me?

Of course, absolutely.

I don't know how I could forget this.

Forget what?

Oh, nothing.

FLO: Well, this is just so typical
of my luck with men.

I mean, not that you need
to hear me complain but...

Oh, hey, watch out.

-Coffee.
-I am so sorry. I...

-It's okay.
-It's just, something...

...weird just flew by the window.
It's...

Something, something what?

Uh...

Spit it out, spit it out.

Well, to be honest with you,
it looked a little like a...

...a dragon.

A dragon.

Oh, that is so not good.

All right, sweetie, come on.

Mommy's gotta find something
to make sure nothing happens to you.

Here. Look, look, look.

Right, you hate this. You hate this.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Did I forget
how to be a mommy too?

Wyatt, what are you doing? Wyatt.

[YELLING]

Oh, my God!

You son of a bitch!

Phoebe! No! Phoebe! No!

Snap out of it!

Oh, no, did I do all this?

[GLASS SHATTERING]

Forget all that,
we gotta get out of here.

Phoebe, I figured out what
we're supposed to be remembering.

I'd be happier just forgetting,
I think, at this point.

No, no, you wouldn't. Phoebe,
there's a dragon loose in the city!

Did you say dragon?

Come on.

Wyatt, you're making Mommy
very nervous.

What are we doing here?

What is it?

[PHONE RINGS]

-What's up?
PAIGE: Where are you?

Where am I?

I'm standing outside
of the Presidio tunnel

where your nephew just orbed me.

What did you just say?

He did what?

Are you out of your mind?
Aren't you afraid of exposure?

Yeah, that's why we called.

What do you mean?
What are you talking about?

I think she's talking about that.

WOMAN [OVER TV]:
Police here at the tunnel

are saying it's a miracle
no one was hurt

although three cars were destroyed.

They haven't ruled out terrorism,
of course, but at the moment,

they are focusing
on some rather bizarre reports

of a giant bird, which one witness
went on record as saying:

"Shot fire out of its mouth at cars,
like a dragon."

Well, as far as clues go, I'd say that's
a pretty huge one, wouldn't you?

-Ow.
-Sorry.

No, it's not my pain
I'm reacting to, it's your pain.

Oh, well, then you should be feeling
a little irritated then too.

Piper, why are you blaming yourself?
It's not your fault.

Okay, number one, I haven't
actually verbalized guilt yet.

So in the future, let me confess
before you analyze.

Right.

Secondly, it is my fault because
I'm the one that plopped Wyatt

in front of the electronic babysitter.

-Any idea what she's talking about?
-No, not a clue.

You want some clues,
try this one on for size.

Before you left, Wyatt was watching a
TV show about... Wait for it... dragons.

Oh, he was watching a kid show.

Well, apparently
he magically changed the channel.

Of course, that was before
he magically orbed me to the tunnel

-to find his new friend.
-He did all of that?

Wait a second. So you're saying
Wyatt conjured a dragon.

Yep, right out of the TV.

Oh, you must be so proud!

-Yeah, or a little irritated.
-Right.

Okay, if this is true, your little boy
is developing some serious powers.

Yeah, the kind that unleashes
Godzilla on an unsuspecting city.

How am I supposed to handle this?

Well, at least now we know
how we lost our memories.

I mean, obviously, anything
connected to the dragon,

no matter how remote, was erased.

You know, what, coffee stains, riots.

The question is by whom?

Come on, you guys. So Wyatt
made a little magical mess.

-We've dealt with worse, we'll fix it.
MAN: Perhaps we can help.

-Who are you?
-We're known as the Cleaners.

-And we're here to help.
-The Cleaners?

When magic is exposed,

we're the ones who cover it up,

remove all evidence.

Erase any memories,
whatever is necessary.

You're the ones
who are going to take Wyatt.

Well, we won't have to
if you can eliminate the exposure risk.

Exposure? You're here to take
my son away, you son of a bitch!

I understand your anger.

Now you need
to understand our position.

We're a neutral party.

We exist only to protect magic.

To that end,
your son has become... a problem.

-Easy.
-However,

based upon your past success
in covering up your own magic,

we've decided to give you a chance...

One chance only.

...to take care of the problem
yourselves before it gets out of hand.

And if we can't?

Then we'll have to
take care of it for you.

You can't make us forget everything.

There may be some
distant echoes that remain,

maybe a sense of déjà vu
here and there,

but like most people,

you'll just pass it off
as absent-mindedness and move on.

-Well, we're not like most people.
-It won't matter.

Clean it up.

Or we will.

At least now
we know what happened.

Too bad we just
won't remember any of it.

All right, I think we have
the upper hand on this one, don't we?

I mean, we know that we're recalling
the same day, they obviously don't.

None of this is gonna help unless
we can eliminate Wyatt's dragon.

-Piper.
-Go to the Book, work on the dragon.

Do not take your eyes off Wyatt.

Where are you going?

To call a higher power.

Leo! Leo, I know you can hear me.

I know I told you to go away,
but I really need you.

Wyatt's in trouble!

What do you mean?
What happened?

There's no time, just tell me
how to stop the Cleaners.

The Cleaners? Are they after him?

Yeah.

What the hell happened?

Well, he conjured a little dragon.

Piper, how could you
let that happen?

How could I let that happen?

You take off and suddenly
I'm responsible for every little thing?

This is not a little thing.

Yeah, well,
where the hell were you?

Why weren't you watching over
his every move

up there on your lofty perch?

Okay, that's not what I meant.

Then don't say it, because I'm beating
myself up enough about this

and I don't need you
beating me up too.

Sorry.

I'm just scared.

Yeah, so am I.
That's why I called you.

Because I'm about to lose our son
and I don't know what to do.

So please help me!

-Piper, if I could...
-No.

Don't say it, don't say anything
about elders or rules,

because you know what?
He is your son, Leo.

There are no rules.

I'm telling you, the Cleaners
are empowered by both good and evil.

-You can't stop them.
-There has to be a way.

You don't understand, there isn't.

Cleaners have the power
to rewrite history, you can't fight that.

No, you don't understand!
I can't do this! I cannot lose Wyatt too!

Piper, you weren't
put in this position to lose Wyatt,

which means there is a way,
you just have to find it.

-But how?
-I don't know.

But if anybody can find it, you can.

You know, maybe
it's not a magical solution.

Maybe it's...

...maternal.

Deep down inside, you can find it.

I know you can.

Hey, you all right?

I don't know. Ask me again
when this is all over.

-Was Leo any help?
-I'm not sure yet.

Anything on the dragon?

No, dragons predate the Book.

One thing I do know is that
we're gonna have to get a tooth, scale,

some piece of him in order to make
the vanquishing potion even work.

Yeah, we're just kind of winging it,

making the most powerful potion
that we can. Aah!

-Phoebe?
-What happened? Are you all right?

I am, but someone's not.

Actually a bunch of people aren't.

People?
Like people out there, people?

I don't know. All I know is I've never
felt such pain and fear before in my life.

-Is it the dragon?
-Grab the potion.

Wyatt, sweetie, come on.

Remember your friend, Mr. Dragon?

What do you say
we find the dragon?

[THUNDER CRASHING]

MAN 1:
Look out! Look out!

[SCREAMING]

MAN 2:
Get out of here!

MAN 3:
Get... Get back in here!

MAN 4:
Get down!

MAN 5:
Run!

MAN 6:
Hurry, come on!

MAN 7:
Help! Help!

God, it looks like a war zone.

Oh, God, looks like it made a nest.

Let's hope it's not laying any eggs.

Think you can steal
a scale for the potion?

I'll try. Scale!

[DRAGON ROARS]

-I think I woke it up.
-No, I think you pissed it off.

Okay, if you're sensing any fear,
it would be mine.

-I think we should go.
-Wait.

-Wait for what?
-Wyatt.

Piper, what are you doing?

No time to explain,
just make sure he sees me.

Piper, come back!

Come on, you fire-breathing lizard,
come and get me!

-Piper, are you nuts?
-Stay there.

We have to stop her.

I think I know what she's doing.

Come on, Wyatt,
don't let Mommy down.

[SHRIEKS]

Piper!

I'm okay. I'm okay.

Hi, little man, you did it!

I knew you could do it. Good job.

Okay, I'm confused.
What just happened?

That was the greatest
power there is.

A mother-and-child bond.

Especially when that child is Wyatt.

So you're saying
he vanquished the dragon,

and you knew he was gonna do it.

Well, I was hoping he wouldn't want
anything bad to happen to me.

Okay, well that solved that problem.
Now what do we do with this mess?

-We'll figure it out.
CLEANER 1: No, actually, you won't.

Wait, we did what you asked,
we got rid of the dragon.

But not the exposure risk.

-The boy.
-No, you can't.

We don't have much time,
they're gonna follow us.

-How do we stop them?
-We have to think of something.

We can't just let them take Wyatt.

Incoming!

I will not lose him.

No!

[GRUNTING]

Don't worry.

You won't remember
any of this anyway.

Do you remember?

Absolutely everything.

The spell must have worked.

But not for Wyatt. He's gone.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Nothing. I can't find
the Cleaners anywhere.

Well, they have to exist
somewhere, don't they?

Not necessarily. Not even
on our plane, not even in our time.

Maybe we should
just summon them.

-And then what?
-I don't know.

Maybe we should call Leo again.

I don't think he can help
more than he already has.

-How did he help last time?
-By reminding me that I can do this.

You know, maybe we are
going about this all wrong.

Maybe instead of trying to stop them,

we should be trying to get them
to stop us.

You lost me.

Well, when magic is exposed,

-it's their job to clean it up, right?
-Yeah, so?

So why can't we expose our magic
and force them to deal with us?

Yeah, but if we do that,
what's to stop them from erasing us?

They wouldn't dare.

So let's give them
something to clean up.

The Doppler radar for the Bay Area
shows us that storm

is already on its way out.

So looks like San Francisco
is finally gonna get some good news.

Those scattered showers overnight
turning partly sunny by morn...

-Whoa! What the...?
-Hi. How you doing?

Why don't we get a skycam view
of that, shall we?

[YELLING]

Help! Get me down from here!

Don't... Don't let go! Don't let go!

I don't know
what's happening here, I...

Well, it's called magic, Kaneisha.

Witchcraft, specifically.

I really love your jacket!

ANCHORMAN:
Whoa!

Want to see more magic?

Let's check in with Piper
at the Golden Gate Bridge.

Take it away, Piper!

PIPER: Let the object of objection
Become but a dream

As I cause the scene
To become unseen

You might want to take an alternate
route to work in the morning.

Not so bad. You should
get out more often.

Yeah, Pheebs,
time to come out of the basement.

Maybe you're right.

CLEANER 1:
What do you think you're doing?

Are you out of your minds?

PIPER:
Oh, hey, hi.

Did you see our little magic act?

How is it you still
have your memory?

Oh, I think we still have a few
surprises that you don't know about.

Yeah, and if you don't
return our nephew,

you might found out about
just a few more.

This is pointless.

Whatever you do, we'll simply erase.

-Or we'll erase you.
-You can't.

Not if you're truly neutral, that is.

Because, you see,
if you get rid of us,

you tip the balance of power
from good to evil.

And now, that's hardly
being neutral, now is it?

You will give me my son back.

Or I swear to you, the only thing
you will be doing for the next 50 years,

is cleaning up after us.

If we do return him, how do you know
you'll be able to control him?

I'm his mother.
If anybody can, I can.

[WYATT BABBLING]

CLEANER 1:
Everything is as it was.

We've erased all evidence
of your son's magic.

-We'll leave him in your care.
-For now.

Oh, one more thing.

Please, if you could just do me
a little, teensy-weensy little favor

and erase that whole riot
I caused at the office.

Because I don't want to lose my job.
That would really suck.

Might throw off that balance thing
because I'd be distracted, you know.

It's done.

Good luck.

Because, believe me,
you're going to need it.

PHOEBE: You're okay.
I'm so happy to see you.

-Don't smash him.
-I'm so happy to see you.

I can't help it, this is just very
exciting. He's back. We're back.

Coffee stain and all.

Yeah, what are you gonna do
about your job, are you gonna keep it?

Yeah, I think I will,
just so I can see what happens next.

Exactly what are you saying?

Unless you make it worth my while...

...I may find
your performance here...

...lacking.

Mr. Stewick, please, I need this job.

And that is why I'm giving
you an opportunity to keep it.

If you catch my meaning.

Absolutely.

You know, I like a man
who knows what he wants

and isn't afraid to ask for it.

Now are you afraid to come get it?

-You mean, right here and now?
-Mm-hm.

Yeah?

Um, uh... Uh...

-Yeah, hold my calls, please.
-Yes, Mr. Stewick.

Flower pot!

[GROANING]

Oh, Paige, I thought you were...

What happened?

Well, you see, I overheard
Mr. Stewick threatening you.

He'll be real lucky if you don't sue.

Just go with it.

Um...

Thanks, Paige, for whatever
you just did for me in here.

I was wondering why I took this job,
and now I know.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-Hey.
-Hey.

I didn't know you were coming here.

What are you still doing here, Chris?

Shouldn't you be getting
to know your new charge?

Yeah, about that.

I'm... I'm going back
to what I originally said.

I don't have time for her.

-Chris.
-Leo, I mean it.

Because whether you believe me
or not, I'm here to protect Wyatt.

Not other charges.

Other than the sisters, of course.

If that's how you feel,
I guess I'll reassign her.

Thank you.
