Charmed (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - When Sparks Fly - full transcript

Macy must fight a dangerous enemy to survive; Maggie's impromptu karaoke duet with Jordan may lead to answers about her powers. Meanwhile, Mel and Harry take a gamble on a demon who may know the Assassin's whereabouts.

Previously on Charmed...

HARRY: But you need to jump!

Go now. Do it!

MEL: There's a shape-shifter out
there who looks exactly like you.

I think I'm getting my powers back.

Something happened with Jordan.

I shook his hand, and in my head,

- I had this vision.
- [MAGICAL CHIME]

[CHUCKLING]: I love you.

- Where's Macy?
- She's not with you?

- MAGGIE: We saw her leave with you.
- It was him.



My darklighter.

The Elders used their acolytes
to separate us into two...

Whitelighters and darklighters.

And someone let the other half out.

The darklighter...

has a master.

Macy is missing, Harry.

- We need to try Absum Veri.
- MAGGIE: What is that?

A tracking spell.

The last witch to try Absum Veri

- was found not alive.
- [MEL AND MAGGIE SCREAM]

MAGGIE: Oh, my God.

MEL: Coordinates.

New York City.



Lower Manhattan. Tribeca.

If Macy's in danger,

why isn't a red light showing up?

- Because she's not in danger.
- How do you know that?

He has feelings for her.

How do you know that?

The darklighter...

He and I are the same person.

Who are you?

MALE VOICE: Your new master.

Now get up.

[GASPS SOFTLY]

[GROANS]

MEL: Macy, get over here.

- [PANTING]: Harry.
- Quick, I can orb again.

Long story. Tell them to go.

[CLASSICAL PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

[FAUCET RUNNING, DISHES CLINKING]

Harry?

Macy.

[CHUCKLING]: Ah, thank God.

[SIGHS] How are you feeling?

Confused.

The-the last thing I remember...

The darklighter orbed you away.

We tracked you down, rescued you...

Thankfully before anything
untoward happened.

Why don't I remember anything?

You've been unconscious.

What? For how long?

Two days.

Two days?

We took turns at your bedside.

I was so afraid that I'd lost you.

Where's Maggie and Mel?

[TIMER DINGS]

Sorry. Dinner.

A fillet.

You must be starving.

And I was just about to open this.

Château Montenau?

I know it's a bit much.

But it's a special occasion.

We're celebrating.

That you're safe.

[SETS BOTTLE ON COUNTER]

Yes.

[CHUCKLES]

Celebrate the good times.

That's what I always say.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

You do, don't you?

[MATCH STRIKES]

What's the saying?

"From a little spark may burst a flame"?

[BLOWS]

Dante.

Yes.

[TIMER DINGS]

Oh, that's the gratin Dauphinois.

I won't be long.

Everything all right?

Yes.

I-I was just gonna get some air.

But, uh... but it can wait.

MEL: The tracking spell
revealed Macy's whereabouts...

New York City...

But there's not a red
light in the whole state.

Maybe he's used some
sort of cloaking device?

Or, like Harry said,
she's not in danger.

Because the darklighter
has feelings for her

and so does he, because they...

Share a brain or...

HARRY: We don't...

Share a brain.

We share memories.

And feelings.

I searched The Book of Elders.

Nothing provides any guidance here.

I've got a tiny bit
of cloaking serum left

and a bunch of other potions,

but none of them seem
particularly helpful.

Well, we know she's in Lower Manhattan.

I think we should just portal there.

New York's a big place.

Yeah, well, maybe I
can use my new power,

see if I can get a vision.

And we're back to touching Jordan again.

Stop.

Look, I know it's a long shot, but...

I've had a vision that's come true.

Maybe, if I focus, I can
conjure up an image of her

and find where she is.

It may be a long shot, but it's

the only shot we've got right now.

I need you both to understand something

about the darklighter.

He may not kill Macy,
but he's capable of things

you and I cannot even fathom.

He's all id,

and his desires cannot
be underestimated.

We need to find Macy
by any means necessary,

before it's too late.

What the...?

[GASPS]

This isn't real.

Oh, my God.

- I guess you worked it out.
- [GASPS]

Things were just getting interesting.

I focused on finding
Macy and I saw something.

- What?
- A flash, an image.

It was too quick, he pulled
away, but it was something.

- Explain.
- I can't.

I don't know how it works
or why it works but it does.

Then you need to get him alone
and touch him everywhere.

Harry.

We don't have any time to waste.

How is she supposed to do
that and not get arrested?

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Any trapped-in-an-elevator spells

in that fanny pack of yours?

What gave me away?

Everything.

I was hoping we could spend
some quality time together...

Before the inevitable
unpleasantness, yeah?

That's okay.

We can just skip right
to the unpleasantness.

Aw. [CHUCKLES]

Your powers have been neutralized.

I thought that would've
been obvious by now.

It's fetching, isn't it?

Just like your dress.

The one my lesser half
likes you to wear.

Don't talk about Harry.

Don't even say his name.

Aw.

He's special to you, isn't he?

But I think you like me better.

You disgust me.

Oh, no, no, no. I don't
believe you, Macy.

I'm different from him.

And you like it.

What do you want?

What's the point of this...
Keeping me prisoner?

[LAUGHS] Prisoner.

Whatever gave you that idea?

Go ahead.

Call them.

Your sisters.

Please.

And that's the plan.

Use me as bait for them.

Yeah. That's gonna be a hard pass.

Fine.

Well, fortunately,
there's always a plan B.

Et voilà.

[HORN HONKING IN DISTANCE]

Manhattan?

Ah, there's nothing like
the New York City skyline.

And now our location is uncloaked.

Only a matter of time

before your sisters

and your Whitelighter friend find us.

Then why cloak us at all?

I thought we could get
to know each other.

Confining our relationship

to your dreams was getting tedious.

Oh, don't worry.

Your sisters will be here soon.

And this will all be over.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER NEARBY]

Are you sure about this?

It's a disruptor potion
from The Book of Shadows

I've been experimenting with.

It should fritz out the elevator.

Last time we experimented,

we almost got eaten by a demon hound.

Go time.

Jordan.

Hey, wait up.

Sorry to bother you.

It's just I left my
keys upstairs in the gym

and it's-it's locked.

- Could you, um...

I was the leftovers tossed
into the garbage bin.

Hot, cold.

Pain, pleasure.

I'll never give that up again.

Now controls you.

All I have to do is deliver
the power they want...

And I'm free.
