Charmed (1998–2006): Season 8, Episode 22 - Forever Charmed - full transcript

Despite Leo's return, Piper can't accept her sisters' death and borrows Coop's ring to travel back in time to prevent the fight. She lands when mother Patty was still alive, but takes her advise to cheat at constituting the power of three with a third generation, grandma Penny. Dumain meanwhile gets Billie to do her own time traveling to save Christie and the Triad. After the battle is undone, adult Christopher and Wyatt arrive to demand the charmed ones' help to save their future with even more confusing time travel.

Piper, you gotta keep it down.

There's nothing in the Book that can fix it.

- There's gotta be something.
- There's not!

And they can't undo
what's already been done.

You're sure the boys are ok?

I'm sorry you had to come back to this.

Dumain...

God, you're still here.

Billie, what happened?
Where is Christy?

She's gone.

What about the Charmed Ones?



Piper...

Piper is the only one left.

I don't understand.

You said the Hollow would be enough!

They got it too, they...

somehow found how
you were going to use it against them.

So they summoned it too.
It must have... split,

infecting you all.

I just want Christy back.

You might be able to.

You've got the power, Billie.

You've projected yourself back
into the past before, haven't you?

When Christy was young,
when she was trapped in that cave?

- Yeah, but I...
- Why can't you do it again?



Only this time, you can go back
to change what was.

To save her.

You trust me, don't you?

Thanks to Anyone

Damn!

- Hi daddy.
- Oh sweetie.

I'm so happy to see you.

Leo!

- Hello Victor.
- You're back?

Wow, I don't believe it!

This is good, right? I mean,

everything worked out alright?

Maybe you should sit down.

No, I don't wanna sit down.

What happened? What's going on?

Phoebe and Paige...

They didn't make it.

What?

But it's ok, I mean, I'm gonna fix it.
I don't know how, but...

I'm gonna fix it.

Where is huh... Wyatt and Chris?

Sleeping.

We need to...

take them some place where
nobody can find them.

So we can figure this out.

Do you understand?

No.

What about the Elders? Can't they help?

Apparently not.

How about the rest of the...
the magical community?

What about that guy, uh...

Coop?

How do you know about Coop?

Well, he was here yesterday,
looking for Phoebe.

Who is Coop?

He's a Cupid.

Who took Phoebe to see her past loves.

- So?
- So

maybe he can do the same for us.

Coop?

If you can hear me,
I need to talk to you now.

Guys, if this is about Phoebe,

she's made it very clear
about the way that she feels. So...

Phoebe is dead.

What?

But if you let me your ring, I think
I can go back in time and save her.

It can do that, right?

I mean, you can go back in time?

- Yeah to follow love but...
- Ok,

so hand it over.

Ok, what do I do?
How does it work?

You... just think about that person and...

how much you love them.

I gotta tell you that doesn't always work
the way that you want it to,

'cause love...

Love isn't practical, it's emotionnal.

That's ok.

- It's all I've got.
- I'm going with you.

I'm not losing you again.

Keep it simple.

Just follow your heart to one of them.

Phoebe.

This isn't right.

Oh my god!

Demons!

- What happened? Why didn't she freeze?
- I don't know.

Probably because I'm your daughter.

You must be a pretty powerful witch,

to be able to come here from the future.

Oh no, it really didn't have
much to do with me.

It was Coop's ring.

Who's Coop?
Our future son?

No dad, sorry. All girls.

Oh, you mean, it's just you and Prue, huh?

Maybe we shouldn't tell them too much.

You know, changing the past
might change our future.

Well, we gotta to tell them something.
I mean,

how are we gonna figure out
why we're here?

Coop will fix it.

What?

I'm just not used to seeing
you guys holding hands.

Let alone...

N evermind.

Hey, I remember this.

How old am I?

- I mean, now, in your time.
- Almost 3.

So Prue would be 5.

- And Phoebe...
- Phoebe?

Who is Phoebe?

Not born yet.

I don't understand how did that happen.

I was focusing on Phoebe

and it was supposed to take me to
when she would be alive again.

Well maybe it did. You know,
maybe we just overshot it a little bit.

A little?

Try 30 years.

Wait a minute, I'm still a little new
in the witch things. So...

What happened?

Well, we were trying to save
Phoebe and Paige...

Paige?

Do you mean we have another daughter?

Yes, mom, you do.

But the point is...

they died.

In a huge battle.

And we were trying
to go back in time to warn them.

But without the Power of Three,
we had to use this.

W ait,

did you say the Power of Three?

Then that makes you the Charmed Ones,
right?

- And you all came from me.
- Well, yes.

- So...
- So,

if I'm the mother of the Charmed Ones,
and we could find the grandmother,

then maybe we'll be able
to recreate the Power of Three.

At least in theory.

Do you know what she's talking about?

I'm talking about

using our family magic
to get you to where you wanna go.

Instead of that anyway.

Look,

could that thing take us to her?
I mean, your grams?

Because, it'll be faster than driving.

Look,

you can't come barging in here
from the future

and tell me that two of my girls are dead,

without expecting me to help.

So...

Let's get going!

Oh, I'll be right back, baby.

Grams.

What happened?

Where is Victor?

Now, where are we?

Tripple word score!

No, there.

- It's not spelt right.
- Sure it is.

- No, it's not.
- Oh no?

Is that an official challenge?

Uh, excuse me.

How do you spell Zankou?

- With a "z" or "x"?
- That is cheating.

I'm not asking you. I'm asking

me.

Well?

"Z".

I told you.

Are you...

the future you and Leo, yeah.

- And we've been expecting you.
- Yeah, I baked cookies.

I just don't understand how...

You were aiming for grams,
but you weren't specific enough.

So you came to the future where
you're the grams instead.

Here I am.

Wait, I'm a

grandmother?

It blows your mind, doesn't it?

- Mom?
- Yeah.

Hold on, I don't understand how
you know all this stuff.

How did you know we would come?

Because 15 years ago we were sitting there,

where you're sitting,
talking to our future selves.

That's why we were expecting you.
Are you sure you don't want some cookies?

No, I think I'd rather have aspirin.

Like she said...

we were expecting you.

You remember when we were them?

Kicking butt, fighting demons.

Losing you, getting you back...
Losing you again!

- But it was all worth it.
- Oh you bet.

Oh so sweet!

You know what? I'm just not

quite ready for all of this.

And besides we need to get back
to save Phoebe and Paige.

Right.

And the only way
you're gonna be able to do that

- is if you...
- Don't say too much, hon.

We don't want them to mess up the future.

Well, isn't it already messed up?

Oh no. Not yet.

The future is worth saving.

Believe me.

You keep using the ring.

Focuse on who you want to go to
with your heart,

not with your head.

That way you'll get to your grams.

And then to Phoebe and Paige.

But what do we do when we get there?

How do we save them?

You get rid of the Hollow

together.

I think we're back in my time.

You want another tissue?

No, I'm ok.

Well, you are more than ok, sweetie.

You're very very special and
you need to know that.

Not as special as Prue, or even Phoebe.

Everyone likes Phoebe.

But you're special in your own way, Piper.

I mean you're kind, and caring.

You're the best little helper I've got.

Plus,

you

are the only one who can keep
your sisters

from killing each other all the time.

And you may not know it yet,

but you've got gifts.

The most... the most amazing gifts.

And some day,

those gifts are gonna make you
even more special.

- How?
- You'll see.

Now, run on upstairs
and play with your sisters, ok?

- I'll make dinner.
- Ok.

You loved your grams.

Who's there?

- It's ok mom, it's just me.
- No, mom.

Patty?

Mom!

What happened?

Why did she faint?

Oh, well,

probably because you're...

dead.

All you need to do is focuse on
saving your sister.

Which means focusing on the battle.

Let's try again.

Clear your mind of everything else.

From all that has happened since.

Let go off the pain of loss.

Because where you're going,

that hasn't happened yet.

Think only of Christy.

See her at your side.

You want to save her
more than anything else.

And that's what you're going to do.

That's it.

You're almost there.

Now go,

project yourself back

to the Triad.

The Triad?

What the hell are you talking about?

Are you trying to trick me?

- No, of course not.
- Then what was that?

You said I was going back to see my sister.

You're right.

I should have told you.

Should have told me what?
What's going on?

What's going on is that if you don't go back
to warn the Triad about the battle,

they won't be able to stop it.

Which means they'll still be killed
and so will your sister.

You're saying the Triad was still alive?

More or less.

And you didn't tell me?

So you've been manipulated me
this entire time and Christy too?

Christy understands exactly
what is going on.

And what might that be?

Why don't you go back and
ask her yourself?

Then maybe you'll understand too.

How is she?

I think she's coming through.

No, I meant mom.

Oh, I think it's more information overload
than anything else.

Yeah. Well, welcome to the club.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I just... was thinking about

after you guys say the spell
to get rid of the Hollow.

Well, hopefully, it'll work.

Yeah if it does, it means everyone's gonna
come back to life.

Including Billie and Christy.

Not for long.

Not if I have my way.

Until you do, it means the ultimate battle
wouldn't have been fought yet.

Which means the Angel of Destiny might
take me away again until it is.

Listen,

all I know is that we will be
playing scrabble in the future.

And I'm pretty sure

you will be losing.

Oh, what happened?

Where am I?

You're ok, mom. You just fainted.

Well, of course I fainted. You're dead!

Oh yeah, I know.

- They just told me.
- Hi.

And who are you?

Well, believe it or not, I am Piper.

From the future.

And this is my lovely husband Leo.

From the future as well.

But I'm from the past,

obviously.

I need a drink.

- Oh mom!
- Ok, grams, relax.

I know this is all very complicated but
we don't have time to explain.

Something very bad
has happened in the future

and we need your help to fix it.

We have to save her sisters mom.

We have to save

the Charmed Ones.

The Charmed Ones?

You'll become the Charmed Ones?

What do we have to do?

Christy...

Wow.. wait, wait!

Who are you?

I'm from the future,
I came back to warn you.

Me.
Not to do this.

No, I'm serious. You're gonna get yourself
killed. This is not gonna work.

We've been waiting for you.

Well, the wait is over.

No potions, huh?

We don't need any potions.

Funny,

neither do we.

I knew I shouldn't have trusted you.

You should have followed your instincts.

Next time.

There won't be a next time.

- What the...
- Don't ask you, you're gonna headache.

Now, there's something
you don't see everyday.

What is going on?

Looks like time caught up with itself.

How did everybody get here?

Well,

actually, you have Coop to thank for that.

What happened? What went wrong?

Not here.

Oh, damn it!

It's ok, at least
Phoebe and Paige are alive.

Right,

but where is Prue?

Oh mom,

not now.

I'm sorry, but I have no choice.

Wait but...

Ok, so let me get this straight.

Because you guys altered
a key moment in time by saving us...

And the manor.

Right, because of all that,

what is supposed to happen after this

- won't happen?
- Exactly.

That kind of makes this the new present.

Says the woman from the past...

Though a different past than mine.

Are you getting any of this?

Whatever! As long as we're alive,

it's kinda that's all I care about.

Plus,

it's really nice to see you guys again.

Actually, we've never met.

Yeah, we have but you were ghost.

Oh! Does she know?

Yes, yes, we know we're both dead by now.

We're over it.

Speak for yourself.

Ok, the problem is we're still right back
to where we started with Leo.

and if I'm gonna have the future
that I saw with him...

Wait, you've been to the future too?

We sure did miss a lot when we were dead.

Anyway the point is
if I'm gonna get my husband back,

we have a battle to finish.

And we're gonna have to get
mom home safely,

otherwise, Paige and I won't be born.

Good point!

Well, fantastic! Are there any other problems
we should be worrying about?

Wyatt!

Chris!

What are you two doing here?

Somebody just screwed up our future.

We're gonna need Dumain's help
if we're gonna finish what we started.

Haven't you even been listening to me?
He's been manipulating us!

Probably since we met him!

If we could just get to the Hollow
sooner this time.

Christy, listen.
What is the matter with you?

Dumaine is using us, ok?
And he's not the only one.

The Triad is also.

Yes, that's right, they're still alive.

Or they were, but Dumain didn't
tell us that, did he?

Instead he tried to trick me
into saving them, instead of you.

Well maybe you should have listened to him.

What?

The Triad could have helped us
to figure out how to kill the sisters

if they were still around.

Ok, look at me.
Listen to me very carefully.

They don't care about us!

They have twisted everything,
they're using us, Christy.

Are using us for our powers, our sisterhood

and our lives.
So all we can do is kill.

And that's exactly
what we're going to do, Billie.

We're going to kill.

Well, I can't do it.

I won't.

Then I'll do it on my own.

Christy!

God!

I mean, we don't know what happened.
One minute everything's fine.

We're kicking demon ass...

Actually I was kicking some demon ass.

Watch your language.

Sorry, grams.

Wait, grams as in The Grams?

Confused.

Are these my future grand kids or yours?

No, yours.

Oh, hi!

As you were saying...

Suddenly, in the middle of all the fighting,
everything changed.

And the demon started kicking our ass...
butts,

butts.

Just because Wyatt here lost his powers.

Wait, how did you lose your powers?

That's the thing. We don't know.

So we cast a spell to take us back to when
they were lost and it took us

here...

to you.

Maybe we've messed up something
without realizing it.

Yeah, with all the jumping around
we've done,

it's a wonder everything is not messed up.

No, it's gotta be Billie and Christy.

They used the Hollow to steal his powers.

I'm gonna kill them.

Well, before you do that,
we need to get Wyatt's powers back.

Otherwise, there's...
not gonna be any future to save.

Well I think the only way to do that
is to go back and stop them.

But how do we know exactly when

- to go back to?
- I'll know.

Or at least I'm hoping little Wyatt might
shock my memory.

Well, he's at Dad's.
I mean,

grandpa's.

Do you remember how to get there?

Yeah, absolutely.

I'll go too.

But dad's gonna be there.

I know.

I miss him.

Besides I'm dying to know
what he looks like at this age!

She uh... doesn't know.

Apparently
I haven't chased him away yet.

What are you talking...

What don't I know?

Alright,

everybody go, but just, you know,
hurry back, if you find anything.

- Phoebe!
- Hi.

Thanks a lot for telling me she's alive.

You're welcome.

Uncle Coop!

Uncle Coop?

What?

Alright, everybody out! Go!

Ok, let's get to the condo
and get to the Book.

Wait for me.

Damn!

Oh, surprise!

Oh my godness...

Oh you're just as handsome as
you ever were.

W... what's going on?

Hey grams, how are you doing?

Chris!
What are you doing here?

Hey grandpa, how are you doing?

Now,

this is our grandson Wyatt,
oh so handsome!

But I... I...

I'm so confused.

You'll get over it. I did.

- Where did you come from?
- 1975.

How do I look?

Didn't anyone tell her we're divorced?

What?

You dumped me, for you whitelighter.

- Sam?
- Yeah, Sam, Paige's father.

Listen grams, we're in a bit of a jam.
Where is little Wyatt?

He's in the other room with uh...

with you.

Thanks.

Oh come on Patty, it's alright.

It's a long ago.

What do you mean Billie is not coming?
We need her.

We can defeat the Charmes Ones
without her.

No, we can't.

We need the Triad to do that, and we need
her power to go back and save them.

Well, maybe there's another way.

That's not nearly enough.

Here. Let me do it.

I think I know how to do it
after all this time.

It's Billie and Christy, they're not demons.

Well, they might as well be
from everything you've told me.

Which means we can't take any chances.

I can't get over
how big this book has gotten.

I'm so proud of you, girls.

Then why don't you let me stir?

Piper, why don't you get that?

Paige, why don't you get that?

Ok, I'll get that.

Hey!

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?
I'm looking for my wife.

She didn't come home last night.

- Are you ok?
- Yes, I'm ok. Of course I'm ok.

I mean, we weren't...

ok ok, but now we're ok
and I think in the future we're gonna be...

I think we're gonna be more than ok.

Ok.

Don't tell me she marries
a Whitelighter too.

Worse.

A mortal.

Oh good god!

Didn't I teach you girls anything?

Hey, what can I say?
There's always uncle Coop.

I really should be out there helping them.

No, not until we talk.

- Look, there are lives at stake here.
- And so is love.

Ours.

I let you kick me out of here yesterday.
I am not doing it again today.

And you know why?

Because I love you, Phoebe Halliwell,

with all of my heart,
with every fibre of my being, I love you.

I found love for thousands of people
all over the world.

But I never found love for myself.
Not until now.

Until you and...

I... I know you feel the same way
because I can see it.

I know what love looks like.

And I am not letting this
get away from us, Phoebe.

- Apparently not, uncle Coop.
- Yeah.

Look,

I don't know what you want me to do
with this information.

I mean we haven't even been out
on a date yet.

And I don't know how to get past
the whole forbidden love thing. I...

Phoebe!

I'm... I have to go.

I will call you when we need the ring back.

Nice ring. Can I borrow it?

Ok, all we need to do now is
find Billie and Christy.

You don't have to look far.

Can we talk?

Look, I am so sorry for what
I have done to you guys.

After everything you've done for me.

I just wanted my sister back so badly...

I couldn't even see
that she was manipulating me.

Well, that's very convenient.

But how are we supposed to know
this isn't a trap?

I guess we'll have to let her talk.

- Where is Christy?
- I don't know.

Probably at Magic School, trying
to figure out a way to kill you.

But,

- you are not.
- No, no.

That was before.

They twisted everything to make us think
we were doing the right thing.

- Who?
- The Triad.

They used us. They used Christy.

They have spent the last 15 years
turning her into a killer.

That's all they've cared about.
That's all they wanted!

We already vanquished the Triad.

Well, Dumaine will figure out a way
to bring them back. I know it.

- Who is Dumain?
- He is a demon

but he knows them better than anyone
and with Christy...

They will stop at nothing.

Mom, are you here?

Keep an eye on her.

Where is mom? I mean, grandma.

She wanted to stay with grandpa, to talk.

Well that had better be all that
they're doing.

What did you find?

Well, grandpa said that someone came
and picked up little Wyatt

just before five in the afternoon yesterday.

Some man. But that's all
I could get out of him.

Wait, what man?

Dumain.

He brought Wyatt to Christy and me
to summon the Hollow.

And then you stole his powers...

We were being infected.
We didn't have a choice.

You used my son?

That is all in the past, dear. Let's just
focuse on how to fix it now, ok?

Ok, so we have to go back in time
to the day Dumain took Wyatt.

No, we have to go before that.
I know him.

He's gonna warn the Triad before
you can vanquish them.

Then you have to get the ring.

Coop!

Coop! We need you!

Something's wrong.

What?

The Elders sent Coop down to you, Phoebe,

just not to help you find love,
but

help you find him.

They were hoping
you'd fall in love with the Cupid.

It was the only way
that they could make it up to you

after everything you've sacrified.

And they didn't wanna put you through
what mom and dad went through. So...

It wasn't and it will not be
a forbidden love.

Ok.

I don't know how
that information helps us right now.

Well in the future, when you're together,

you guys are like one.

All you have to do is thinking about him
and he's there.

Oh my god!

What happened?

I fought them for as long as I could.

Ok, who did this to you?

Some demon.

I'm sorry. He...

he took my ring.

We're too late.

They're going back in time.

But I can too.

What?

My Lords,

we come from the future
to warn you about it.

The Charmed Ones are going
to get the Hollow

at the same time
Billie and Christy will.

Which means we've got to get it
before they do this time.

Get out of here!

Nooooo!

Oh yes!

I don't understand.

- How could this happen?
- Billie projected us here.

By focusing on you.

Paige.

Ring!

How could you?

Christy, please.

It's over. Just come home.

Oh thank god!

Is everything alright?
Did anything

change that wasn't supposed to?

No.

I've got my powers back.

- I can see that.
- Where is Billie?

She used her own power to get back.

But, she at least, tried to help out,
right? I mean

- tried to make amends, at least?
- Yeah.

Ok, hang on a second.

You're not gonna take him away again,
right?

No.

This is the way the battle
was supposed to end all along.

And it's over.

Congratulations.

Hi there!

Come on.

Did we miss anything?

Uh no, well, we

changed the past, we fixed the future and

saved the present.

- That's all.
- What's that?

Yeah, if you haven't figured it out by now,
you probably won't.

Oh, it doesn't matter

just as long as everything is back
to the way it's supposed to be.

It will be if you got us back.

I mean, otherwise...

How are we gonna get them back?

Oh, I can take care of that.

Yeah, but how will you know when
to take them back to?

Oh, the ring will.

If I can ever get it back...

Just make sure you return just before
they were taken.

That way they won't remember anything.

Oh no, don't... don't do that.
I mean

there are so many things, wonderful things,
that I just don't wanna forget,

you know.

There's just as much
I don't ever wanna know.

Like what happened to Prue.

Victor told me.

- Oh mom...
- It's alright.

I know everything happens for a reason.

I believe that.

I also know that when one door closes,
another one opens.

Thank you for coming by.

Anytime.

Don't tell me we have to go fight a demon.

No. I don't think we have to do that
anytime soon.

What's with the Book?

Well, I think we should write
everything down.

Everything that happened, everything
we want future generations to know.

So that we can pass it down.
Just like it was passed down to us.

After you.

So much has happened
over the last 8 years.

So much has been gained, and lost.

Still, in some ways,
I feel like my life is really just begining.

Do you, Phoebe Halliwell, take this man
to be your lovely wedded husband?

I do.

And it was.

For though I had loved before,

I've never really known love
until I met Coop.

A man who I shared with this
special little girl I had long ago foreseen,

but feared I might never have.

Mommy, we love you.

Along with two other special little girls
I had not foreseen.

I was suddenly so blessed to have
a new family of my own.

And old friends to share it with.

And though I kept working,
and giving advice to those who asked,

I was more interested in helping them
find love.

Since finally, having been loved.

Phoebe had become some of an expert
on the subject.

As for me,

life without demons opened up
some more avenues.

Henry of course continued
to look after his parolees.

Even if they didn't want to be looked after.

But still making time to help me
with little Henry and the twins.

Which allowed me time to finally embrace

And to help the next generation of witches

coming to their own.

So that Paige could pass on all
that she'd learned,

not just to her own children, or to mine,

or to Phoebe's...

but to other future witches and
whitelighters as well.

Which filled the time
between we were doing the fighting,

and when our kids
were old enough to take over.

Allowing me time
to get back to my roots

and cook something other than
potions for once.

And open the restaurant
I'd always dreamed of owning.

As for Leo, after we reclaimed to
Magic School, he went back to teaching.

Who would like to try it first?

Which he continued to do

until it was time to retire.

Awesome! Great job, Matthew.

And although we certainly had our struggles

"and heartaches over the years",

"we're a family of survivors and
we will always be".

"Which is why we've truly been charmed".

Again, grandmama, again.

Oh no, dear. I can't.

I need a rest.

But you can look at it
for a little while if you'd like?

After all,

it'll be yours one day.
