Previously, on
"Charmed"...

I'm your cousin.
Josefina Reyes?

Your mother abandoned
the family in Puerto Rico,

and stole The Book of Shadows.

We...
are the Perfecti.

We constructed
the Tomb of Chaos

to restore order
to the magical world.

Anything deemed chaotic belongs
in the Tomb.

You have power
without humanity.

That is the ultimate chaos.

Put theperfecti
in the Tomb?

Hello, sister.
I need Waverly's help

getting something
from our mother.

A powerful artifact known
as "The Blade of Clarity."

The only way for me
to return Macy's firepower.

You traveled here from 2021?

- Yes.
- What happened?

Mel called it
the "Whispering Evil."

It was a creature
without a form, a parasite

that required a human host.

It's been you.

Took you long enough.

We have about three weeks

to stop the whispering evil
from the varient entire world.

Tomb of Chaos.
This is no place for...

Yeah wolf.
I'm done.

Sitting on my butt,
so if you guys have to come back

to this hellhole,
I'm going with you.

This place needs
an information desk.

One of those "You Are Here"
mall directories.

Okay,

if Harry's research
is right, there should be

another door with Aladria's
symbol somewhere close.

What the hell?

Hmm.

Look what the cat dragged in.

Wait. So your cell
looks like our command center?

We designed the Tomb,

so we get to choose
how we want it to appear.

And I...
enjoy the illusion

I'm still somewhat
in control of the world.

Look at me.
I'm a powerful witch.

The Whispering Evil has
taken over our friend Jordan.

We need to boot it
out of his body.

And vanquish it before
the sickness spreads.

Well...

option one...

Let Mo and I out of here,
and we'll handle it.

Not happening.

Option two.

The Whispering Evil
doesn't last long

in the real world
without a human host,

so, kill the host,
kill the beast.

As in kill Jordan?

That's also not happening.

Leaving option three.

Separate the Whispering Evil
from the host.

Now,
this is much more complicated,

takes incredible power.

You do remember
who we are?

Yes, but the Power of Three
won't work by itself.

The Whispering Evil
is adaptable

and resilient.

You're not the first group
of Charmed Ones,

and once it's seen an attack...

It becomes resistant,
the same way

bacteria eventually becomes
resistant to antibiotics.

So you need to design

an attack
that the Whispering Evil has never,

ever seen before.

My demon firepower.

combined
with the Power of Three.

My demon fire power

Now charmed ones
have ever had it.

Not to be a downer,
but you don't, either.

Yeah, but Abby's been trying to
figure out how to give it back.

Yeah, trying
is not succeeding,

and independent
study time is over.

In the meantime,
I will track down

the... Jordening Evil,
the...

Whispering Jordan,
whatever the hell it's called.

- I'm coming with.
- Uh, Harry can...

No. This is all hands on deck,
and I've got hands,

puffy and sensitive
as they are,

so I'm coming,
and nothing can...

Mel?

What is it?

Nothing.
It's just...

I don't know
how magical pregnancies differ

from normal ones,
but that looks a lot like...

A contraction.
Yeah.

I think my baby

from the future

is coming right now.

*CHARMED (2018)*
Season 03 Episode 17

Episode Title: "The Storm Before the Calm"
Aired on: July 16, 2021.

This could just be brought
in the next contractions.

A false alarm.

Hey, how far apart are they?

Uh, still nine minutes apart.

Until it's down to five,
it's... it's not even an issue.

And then what?

You can't exactly walk
into a hospital and say,

"Hey, I'm acting
as a time-surrogate

for a magical baby."

Which is why
I've done my research.

I think I found a spell
to slow down my labor.

It's open!

Ruby's with her mother,

and-and the spell
requires brujería,

so I've called in
a reinforcement.

Morning, mi familia!

Who wants
to not have a baby today?

- Hey, cous.
- Hi.

How'd you get here so fast?

I kind of borrowed an extra
witchboard marble when I left.

Don't worry.

We got this.

Just go make the future safe
for my baby.

Okay.
Take care of her.

I need you to be still,
Swan.

Hey.

Any progress?

Uh, my healing powers...
They're on the wane.

I'm not sure
they would ever have been able

to cure this kind
of ancient magic.

What is that?

My magic lines,

according to Celeste.

The last step
of my transformation.

When it's gone...

So are your powers.

And my immortality.

The end of a journey.

Can you imagine a whole world
of people sick like this?

Yeah, I saw it in action.

It wasn't a lot of fun.

Any luck tracking down
Jordan?

I was in the gym,
trying to get a vision

using Jordan's stuff,
but nothing, so,

I thought maybe
I could use something

more directly connected...

...to the Whispering Evil.

Really?

Do you have a better idea?

I do not.

So,

I'll lower
the containment spell,

you hold Swan down,

and then
I'll try to get a vision.

Or you could just try
putting your hand up

to the containment spell.

Yeah.
Yeah, let's do that.

Nice Swan.
That's good...

Nice Swan.

Your timing is perfect.

Waverly has agreed

to help me retrieve
the Blade of Clarity.

The mother of the blade
I used to extract your powers.

Waverly, this's Macy.
My sister Waverly

Now, Mommy keeps the blade
at our childhood home in Sussex.

And since she's not likely
to be suspicious of Waverly...

No, I'm not doing it.

What? We agreed.

No, you pressured,
and I bent.

Mother was willing
to sacrifice

my daughter simply
to satisfy her vanity.

Imagine what she'll do
when she realizes we're working together.

If she realizes.

The house in Sussex is
her country place now.

She barely stays there
anymore.

She'll find out.

She always does.

And then,
she'll turn her wrath on me.

Look, Waverly, I understand
we're asking you to take a risk,

but I need that
demon power back now.

- The future depends on it
- Yes.

Well.
My daughter's future depnds on me.

Staying
uninvolved.

Come on, Waverly.

Just this once,
I need you to step up for me.

- I can't.
- You mean you won't.

I'm sorry.

I am, but...
I'm not going back there... ever.

Well, once again,
it's you and me.

And my abusive, violent
psychopath of a mother.

What do you see?

Does "Capitol Hill"
mean anything to you?

As in D.C.?

No, that can't be right.

It was some sort
of industrial place.

"Capitol Hill" is a
water treatment plant?

Well, what better way
to spread an infection

that works like a bacteria

than to put it
in the water supply?

Take a whole city
out at once.

Oh, my God, Harry,
this is how it starts.

This is the beginning
of the end.

Maggie, what are you doing?

Harry, my vision...
It's happening.

We have to move now,
or the Whispering Evil

will destroy the world...
for good.

Maggie, we can't take
on the Whispering Evil

without your sisters.

We don't have to, Harry.

But we do have
to shut down the water supply

and stop the future
from happening.

Look.

The main outtake area
is on the lower floor.

All right, we just have to
get there before Jordan does,

or the thing that
looks like Jordan.

Contractions are
coming faster.

Six minutes apart.

This is so insane. I mean,

what does a baby born
out of time do to, like,

all of the future?

The goal is not to find out.

It says I need
certain specs.

The baby's current weight,
length?

Which is why
we have the moss agate.

It's like a magical ultrasound.

It'll tell you everything
you need to know about the baby.

That's... so cool.

Ooh! It'sworking.

Wow. Would you like
to know the baby's

eye color or...
or hair color?

No!

It's bad luck.

I think.

I wish my mom was here.

Pregnancy, babies

****

It's all such a mystery.

Mm, but then again,
so was she.

What is it?

I'm not sure if
this is the right time, but...

after I went home,
I started thinking about Marisol

and The Book of Shadows,

how different our stories
were about the family.

So I did a little digging.

And I found
something.

Do you think
Jordan's even in there?

Like, his consciousness?

Impossible to know.

We'll get him
back, Maggie.

Yeah, and then what?

After all we put him through,
I wouldn't be surprised

if he never wanted
to see me again.

Well, try not to get
ahead of yourself.

Right. We just need
to find Jordan,

and then I can figure out
what to do about how he feels.

Harry?

Harry?

Jordan?

And we meet again.

My mom wrote this?

To my mother.

It confirms what I told you
about how you mother left.

"I know that taking
The Book of Shadows seems like

"a betrayal,
but I have my reasons.

"I know that I've hurt you,
and for that I'm sorry.

But I must go forward now,
without you."

This doesn't sound like her.

But it's her handwriting.
I know.

It's just...

Ooh, that was big.

- You better hurry, Josefina.
- Hurrying.

Potion is in the tea.

Even added lemon to help with
the taste, which is super funky.

Drink up.

Oh, my God.

This is where
you grew up?

Welcome to my own
Tomb of Chaos.

Oh! That's distrubing.

More so when you realize
she hung it over my childhood bed.

Okay.

It must have some sort
of protective shield.

It seems to recognize
my magic.

Well, it won't recognize mine.

Behold:
the Blade of Clarity.

Look how easy that was,
and yet,

still too much of an imposition
for poor, fragile Waverly.

She didn't want
to put her daughter in danger.

Even as I risk my life
to do what's right,

you side with my sister?

- We're doing this here?
- What?

You're worried
about staining the carpet?

Lamina Claritatis,

manu mea haec potestas
ad iustum locum reponat.

Oh.

Abby?

Oh!

Hey.

Are you okay?

That's just a little
protective spell. The blade

only responds to my voice.

Trespassing
is a crime,

as is burning down houses.

Don't tempt me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We're not here

to litigate the past.

Abigael's trying to return
something that belongs to me.

If you would just

give us use of the Blade,
we'll be out of your hair.

Surely.

Kill my lovely daughter.

And I'll be happy to restore
your power for all eternity.

Jordan, if you're in there.
I'm begging you to stop.

I apologize for this in advance.

Harry,
are you hurt?

No.

Just a bit banged up,

but I don't think
it scratched me.

Maggie, your wrist.

He... he got me.

Which means...

you're infected.

My power.

It's not working.

Probably because you're completely
freaking useless!

I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.

It's the infection.

I know.

It's only been five minutes, and
I'm already full-blown Karen.

It's only gonna
get worse.

Harry,

he's going for
the water supply.

I have to stop him...
now.

Maggie, you can't possibly
take him on alone.

Why?

Because you think
I'm too weak?

That's what
you've always thought!

- Wait. No.
- You know what?

You're the weak one.

What kind of person willingly
gives up their immortality?

Oh, this is...

This is so awful.

It's...

I have to slow him
down.

Don't follow me, Harry.
It's not safe for you now.

No, no. Maggie,
you're in no condition to face him.

Let's go get Macy and Mel.

Why?

Because you think
they're better than me?

- Please.
- Get away from me,

you worthless
waste of flesh!

Why don't you do something
vaguely useful

and go get my sisters?

No. Wait.

Maggie, you've got the marble.

I can't get to Macy
and Mel without it!

Damn.

Are they gone?

Your contractions?

Seemed to have stopped.

Thank you.

I wasn't sure
if I should show it to you.

No.
I'm glad you did.

I just can't believe my mom
really stole The Book of Shadows

from her own family.

How am I supposed
to be a mother to this baby

if I don't understand
my own mother?

I'm sorry.

Aah. Soy una idiota.

Oh, no. I'll get it.
I'll get it.

Josefina, look.

"Dearest Prima:

I need you to know this."

There's more secret text.

Ah. The lemon... in the tea.

My mother would put notes

on our beds telling us
to clean our rooms,

but there was always...

A hidden note underneath.

My mother did that, too.

We need more lemon.

I've burned this house
down once, Mother.

I'll do it again.

You could...

if I hadn't enchanted the place
to reject your foul magic.

And as for what you need...

Rid me of my worst
transgression, Macy,

and I'll unlock
the Blade for you.

I'm not gonna do that.

Well, then, there's nothing
really more to discuss.

Goodbye.

Woman speaking Mandarin
over P.A. ...

She's a Translocation Witch.

Oh.

No, no, no. No.

All right, you evil tool.

Where are you?

Jordan?

Jordan, if you're in there,

if you can hear me...
please don't do this.

Oh, he's here.

Just not in control.

But I can feel him

and his resentment...

Hmm. I don't think
you're the least bit ready

to hear the thoughts
that are bouncing around

in this handsome head.

I'm listening.

You're cruel,

unfeeling.

He showed you nothing but
affection, and you dithered.

That's you talking.
That's not Jordan.

Really?
Then there'd be no way

for me to know
that he never actually

found you...

formidable.

No.
You're lying to me!

Just give in to it, Maggie.

We're on the
same team,

even if you
and Jordan never were.

I should have done
this years ago.

Hmm.

What are you waiting for?
If you're gonna kill me, do it.

With pleasure.

Waverly?

Waverly. Don't worry.

Your sister will never
be able to hurt you again.

Was she the one
who really hurt me, Mother?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the way

you poisoned me
to hate my sister.

I should have stood up
for you, Abby. I'm sorry.

Stood up... for her?

After all she did to you?

Abuse rolls downhill.

What she did to me
was what you taught her.

But nothing compared
to what I will do to you now.

I got this part.

This is where
I should end you.

But I won't
because I'm not you.

And I'm not him.

Alistair,

my father,

and I finally see that now.

All right, Francesca.

Time for you

to unlock that blade.

Ah, but
you have no leverage here.

Why should I do anything
at all?

Because if she doesn't
kill you,

I'll do it myself.

Sending someone
after my baby girl...

to steal her powers?

You need to be destroyed.

Waverly, no.

She's not worth it.

I suggest you get on
with that spell

and unlock that blade

before Waverly
changes her mind.

"I've not abandoned you.

"Or at least not
without a reason.

"I've had a vision
of three daughters

"and who those
daughters will become.

"So I must take The Book of
Shadowsfor their safety

and leave Puerto
Rico for yours."

My mother... she left
to protect your family.

And she took the Book
to protect yours.

My mother is strong

and independent
but not powerful enough

to take on dark forces

which would come
for the Charmed Ones.

She saw everything.

It must have been such a burden
carrying all of that weight.

She protected her family
the way you protect yours.

My family.

Maggie, Macy...
Why haven't we heard from them?

Jordan was using you
from the moment he knew

you were magic.
He needed help

with his curse
so he said the things

he thought
you needed to hear.

See, this is why I stay away
from toxic men like you.

Good.

Good.
There's your anger.

Probably time
you got in touch with it.

Oh, I'm in touch with it,
and it's time

the world got
to experience it!

Lamina Claritatis,
manu mea haec potestas

ad iustum
locum reponat.

Did it work?

Well, look who's back.

Oh, thank God.

Macy, it's me.

Sorry. I think
I broke a few things.

That was my last orb.

You need to get to Maggie.

Now.

Where did
you leave her?

Capitol Hill
Water Treatment Plant,

lower level,
by the outgoing tanks.

We'll be there in a moment.

And then we'll drop the
combo Power of Three

and Whispering Evil

Wait.
You need to use your powers?

You can't do that.

What do you mean?

That potion I made...
It blocks your powers.

We can brew an antidote.

Sure, but then

the contractions
will come back.

So, either

I keep this baby
from being born out of time,

or I save Jordan and the world?

You can't have both.

The antidote requires
supercharging magnesium sulfate.

Mel, if you need me
to go alone...

You can't..
alone.

Give me the antidote.

...so proud of you.

I'm just trying
to do for this baby

what my mother did for us:

protect it.

Remember, Maggie...

isn't exactly herself.

Maggie.

Maggie,
are you okay?

Of course not.
It's the frigging apocalypse,

and you're running late?!

Oh, no.
She's almost gone, Macy.

Let's rip its head off
and throw it in the ocean!

That would kill
Jordan, Maggie.

I don't care.
He's trying to steal my soul,

and he said some
really mean things about me!

What the hell's
her problem?

She gonna have a baby.

We need youto stay focused,
or else

you're gonna be delivering it!

Oh. No.

Ok-Okay.

Potentia trium!

Is that all you got?

Actually, it's not.

It's out.

Mel, you got it?

Mortiferum Fi.

Are you okay, Mags?

That was crazy.

Jordan?

Do I even ask...

where the hell I am

- and how I got here?
- Long story.

Here.

Let's get the man
a drink.

- Abby.
- Hi.

Do you have a minute?

Sure.

You're not thinking
of moving in again, are you?

Hardly.
I'm leaving.

Macy,
I came to say goodbye.

Oh.

Well, then I guess
now would be a good time to...

say thank you.

For giving you back
what was yours?

No.

For facing something...
someone... traumatic.

For doing
the right thing.

For once.

- ♪ And you knew me so well...
- Where are you going?

To spend some time
getting to know my niece

and my sister.

Nice.

So, who's... who's gonna
take over here?

Well, that's for the demon world
to sort out, I'm afraid.

But whomever it is,

I'll tell them
that if they mess with witches,

I'll come back
and hang them by their toes.

♪ Are we trying to remember?
Are we trying to forget? ♪

I'm sorry...

for everything.

I hope you can
forgive me...

someday.

Just try to find peace,
Abby.

Uh, one more thing.
Is... is Mel here?

Mm-hmm.

Baby photos?

You want me
to send you baby photos?

Even though it probably
has nothing to do with me.

Definitely not.

I'd like to know
that it's healthy

and that you're healthy.
Okay.

But...

Oh.

I really hope Future Me
comes back for the baby.

Future You is someone else
I'd definitely like some photos of.

Or...

you could just...

come visit her...
in the future.

Perhaps I will.

♪ Or just another way home?

♪ When it's crazy to stay...

I know I've been a thorn
in your side,

but getting to know you,

seeing your strength, your
compassion, your integrity...

It made me want

to be a slightly better version
of myself.

♪ Come back to me,
I think I'm ready ♪

So... friends?

♪ I think I'm ready

♪ I'm ready

♪ The air is just thick now

Of course.

♪ Salt on our skin

♪ But summer won't come...

And with that,
please wish Harold

and the Perky Princess my best.

You couldn't help but get
one last jab in, could you?

What can I say?

Change is a process.

♪ Roll down the windows

♪ In our getaway car

♪ It feels like a rainstorm.

Oh, no.

I, uh... I need
to go see a doctor.

This past year
and a half,

I just feel totally
weird a lot of the time.

Perhaps you just ate or drank
something that didn't agree

with your system.

Ingesting infectious
organisms can sometimes

create neurological
side effects.

Hallucinations,
waking dreams.

Oh, like one where I had
these raptor fingernails

and I kept going...

But that's just... crazy, right?

Perhaps you just
need to hydrate.

Yeah. Green smoothie.

She's gone?

Maybe even the worst
of people are capable of change.

And the best of people, too.

So, is your change official?

****

The symbol of my
immortality is gone.

And so are my powers.

The end of one thing

and the beginning of
the rest of my life.

And our life... together.

Hmm.

Macy, what's the matter?

Symbols.

Maybe I'm being
overly cautious, but, mm,

every time we vanquished
a tomb creature,

it left behind a symbol.

Until this last one.

Why would the Whispering Evil
be any different?

Exactly my question.

I think we need to have
another chat with Aladria.

Phone blew up with texts and
missed calls from when I was...

possessed.

How much of that
do you remember?

Some stuff is... clear.

Most of it's...

just a blank space,

like the blackouts
my boys used to tell me about

when they rotated back
from Paktia.

Right.

Which, uh...
which stuff is clear?

I remember...

being real mad at you.

Not sure why.

Yeah.

We went pretty hard
at each other.

Feels like that.

Ooh.

Can't remember the names
of all the constellations

you taught me, but

they look
real beautiful tonight.

Don't tell me you're
becoming a stargazer.

Nah.

I think that will
always be your thing.

May-Maybe it could
be our thing?

We gonna have a thing?

Margarita!

Mel... she's in trouble.

I'll be right back.

Go, go.

I brewed another batch

of the potion,
but it's not working.

I think your body's growing
a resistance.

How close are
the contractions?

Uh, less than
four minutes apart,

and no sign of Future Me.
Is it possible

she's not coming back?

That something's happened to her
in the future?

Or is it possible this thing
isn't over in the present,

and I'm still going
to have this baby now?

The Whispering Evil lives.

You're sure?

Of course. After
all, I designed

the imprisonment protocol.

No symbol means...
it's out there.

But if it is still alive, why
aren't Maggie and Swan infected?

When the Whispering Evil
loses its host,

all those
who were afflicted are healed.

But it will find a new host,
just a matter of time,

and the cycle will repeat,
only worse.

Worse?

Like I told you,
the Whispering Evil

is resilient
and adaptable.

It learns from its mistakes

and comes back more powerful.

With vengeance and destruction

as its lodestones.

Beware.

The worst is
yet to come.
