Original subtitles

Hey...

guess what?

You've come to help me fold the laundry?

Uh... no.

What good is being a witch if I can't just twitch my nose

and make the laundry fold itself?

Uh... which witch can do that?

Samantha Stevens.

From Bewitched?

Oh, it's only like

one of my favorite old television shows.

Sometimes I forget that you've only been fully human

for like a month.

And becoming more human by the day.

What would you say if...

I became really human and... got a job?

If that's the criteria for being really human,

then I am in big trouble.

I'm serious.

Paige said that a lawyer at Legal Aid quit

so she kinda...

recommended me.

She did?

Of course, if you don't think I should then...

No, no, um...

actually I think that's a great idea.

It'll keep you busy,

and help you find your identity...

while I lose mine.

Sorry?

Nothing.

Tell me.

It's just... becoming a wife.

I mean,

I liked Samantha but I never actually wanted to become her.

See, Samantha...

she was married to a human, Darren.

Darren completely repressed

Samantha's magic.

Completely denied who she was.

And it wasn't because he didn't love her.

It was just... it's the way it had to be.

And this was one of your favorite shows?

Well, not that part.

It's just growing up,

that was my only role model for a typical marriage.

So that's all I knew.

And he was able to meet people

and leave the house and go to work

and build his career and she had to stay home,

you know, cook dinner and... do the laundry.

She went from being Samantha

to being Mrs. Darren Stevens overnight.

Well, that won't happen to you.

Won't it? No.

You'll become Mrs. Cole Turner.

( chuckling): Phoebe, come on,

number one... this is a different time,

different world obviously.

Number two...

we're hardly typical.

I proposed to you under a hail of demon goo

and you accepted while I was bleeding to death.

Remember?

Look, why don't we just...

do it again... start over?

Gram's ring?

Um-hm.

Where did you get that?

From Piper.

She gave it to me.

So I could

give it to you. Well that's not

exactly a good omen.

She was married with that thing six times.

Well she must have liked something about it

or she would have stopped at like three...

right?

( clearing throat)

Miss Phoebe Halliwell,

I come to you a man...

nothing more, nothing less... to ask...

will you be my wife?

Mm... yeah...

I will.

Again.

Good.

Tyler, we just want to talk.

It was an accident. I'm sorry!

It's all right, just let us in. No,

you'll yell at me.

I'll deal with Tyler, you contact Ludlow.

Who's Ludlow?

He runs the academy

we told you about.

I'm not going to boarding school.

You can't send me away! WOMAN: Oh, honey,

it's for your own good.

I told you I didn't

mean to do it!

I swear I'm not bad!

I swear!!

WOMAN: Tyler?

What's going on?

Is that smoke I smell?

♪ I am the son ♪

♪ And the heir ♪

♪ I am human and I need to be loved ♪

♪ Just like everybody else does ♪

♪ See, I've already waited too long ♪

♪ And all my hope is gone. ♪

( yawns)

Sun came up again.

Oh, good morning, sunshine!

Let me pour you a cup of coffee.

Notice anything different about me?

Engagement ring... notice it or wear coffee.

Nice ice!

Thank you very much.

I can't stop looking at it.

I was like that when I got my belly ring.

Oh, you're right,

a wedding ring is totally different.

PIPER: Phoebe?

PHOEBE: Yeah.

Will you pass me the milk?

It's right next to Leo.

We're not talking to each other.

PHOEBE: What?

Still?

Wait, I don't understand.

Shouldn't you wait till after you have kids

to start fighting about them?

Well, what's the matter?

Maybe we can help.

It's about having a magical child in a non-magical world.

PIPER: Someone...

I won't say who...

has the insane notion of "binding" our child's powers.

LEO: Why

is it insane?

Grams bound your powers when you were a child.

Yes, and we spent 20-odd years ignorant about our destiny.

I look back on those normal days...

and I feel like I was a complete and total fraud!

I'm not saying hide the truth.

It's just growing up is hard enough

without the extra burden of having powers.

Magic is not a burden, it is a gift!

LEO: It's a lot for any child to deal with,

plus, ours will be doubly magical,

half whitelighter, half witch.

That's like me.

Oh...

you might have some trouble.

PAIGE: Where's Cole?

We got to go to work. PHOEBE: Oh, I'll get him.

And, Paige, thank you so much

for getting him this job.

I mean, especially now, you know,

that we're gonna be married, and he's gonna have to...

get used to bringing home the bacon.

PAIGE: Since when does Phoebe

care about bacon?

I'm sure she meant all breakfast meats.

Piper, would you please pass me the milk?

Nope.

Oh, honey, you look gorgeous.

Should I make you some breakfast?

You know it's the most important meal of the day.

Thanks, I'll just grab a coffee on the way.

Are you sure?

I could whip something up in a jiff.

In a jiff? Really? Yeah.

PAIGE: Come on dude,

let's get paid.

Oh, have a great day.

I am so proud of you.

Oh, look at us.

We are so bewitched.

No, no, no, we're not.

You feel free to use all the magic you want while I'm gone.

Okay.

Whatever makes you happy.

( Cole sighs)

I wonder what I should make him for dinner?

So this is your office.

It's got a desk, a chair, a lamp.

What more do you need?

Uh... oxygen?

You know when I was a DA,

I had an office eight times this size...

( chuckles) windows, an assistant.

Plus, I could throw energy balls.

Yeah, well, you're human now,

so get used to being humble, just like all the rest of us.

WOMAN: Cole Turner?

Hi, I'm Cynthia Corn, director of the Legal Aid office here.

Hi. Hi.

Paige has told me such

wonderful things about you.

I wish I had time to get

to know you, but I don't, so jumping right in, if we could.

I have to jump right out.

If anyone needs me, I'll be down the hall.

Okay, your first case.

Slumlord Alan Yates

cut off heat to his tenants last week.

He's due in at 12:00 for a fact-finding session,

which means you have two hours

to learn everything you can about this case.

So you better be fast, and you better be good.

Thanks.

Thank you. ( Cynthia walks away)

I'm only human, you know.

Hi.

Hey.

What's with the kid? Oh,

Police brought him in... Found him sleeping in an alley.

Is he a runaway?

Looks like it.

His name's Tyler, but I'm having trouble

getting more information out of him.

Sometimes those little video game things help loosen 'em up.

Billy's got one in the back,

I'll go get it. Good.

Ah, here you go Tyler,

thought you might be thirsty.

So, have you thought about giving us a phone number

so we can call your parents,

let them know you're okay?

Do you want them to know you're okay?

Did they hurt you?

No. They didn't hurt me.

Good, all right.

Um... but something happened?

I don't want to talk about it.

I know it's hard Tyler,

but talking is how we fix...

I said I don't want

to talk about it!

Fire!

( bystanders expressing awe)

WOMAN: Get the fire extinguisher! Come on!

( people murmuring)

Hey.

Hey, hey.

Don't go. You don't have to be afraid.

It's okay.

I won't tell anyone I saw you start the fire.

You saw?

Yeah, but, uh, nobody else did.

And I promise I won't tell.

I swear, I won't.

I didn't mean to do it.

I know, Tyler, I know.

Please don't make me go back to the clinic.

I don't ever want to go back to my foster parents.

They don't understand me.

I know a place where I can take you where you'll be safe.

But you got to trust me, okay?

Come on.

Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there.

We're looking for our son.

His name's Tyler, 11 years old, blond hair.

And you are?

His foster parents.

Is he here? Is he all right?

He was.

Thank God.

We've been checking everywhere for him.

We've been worried sick.

What do you mean he was here?

Where is he?

There was a fire, and in the chaos, he ran off.

Ran off?

What do you mean? You lost him?

ANNETTE: Where could he have gone?

We've got to find him. We will.

I mean right now.

I understand this must be difficult for you...

No! You don't understand anything!

We need our son and we need him now!

Would you give me a moment with my wife?

She's obviously very distraught.

Of course.

You're making a scene.

Can't a mother be upset about the loss of her son?

You're not reacting like an overreacting parent,

you're reacting like a... A what?

A demon.

We don't have time to play the concerned parents.

Ludlow wants the boy before nightfall.

No boy, no bounty.

These humans can't help.

So what are we supposed to do?

Wait until Tyler uses his power again?

It's the only way we have of tracking him.

What if he doesn't get angry?

He will.

Just be patient.

How's it going?

Not so good.

He's barely making eye contact, not really speaking.

He's just really afraid.

Of what?

Of himself... his powers.

He's just showing all the signs of a kid

who's never received sustained affection.

Well, plus, being shuffled in and out of foster homes

doesn't help either.

No, and I get the sense that he's always

felt like an outsider and a bit of a freak.

And now he's found out that, in some ways, he kind of is.

Which is why it could make sense for us to bind his powers.

Yeah, maybe we could

just take off one of his legs at the same time.

Because, you know, they're both part of him. It is not

the same thing, Piper.

Tyler's powers could be a danger to himself and to others.

You know what, don't make our issues his issues.

I think you need to give him

a chance to learn how to control it.

Maybe that's why we met him... To teach him, guide him...

Feed him.

Wow, Phoebe, you went all out.

Oh, well, you know me.

Any excuse to spend a little extra time in the kitchen.

I do know you and that's just not true.

Oh, but it is now that I'm gonna be Sadie, Sadie, married lady.

All right, Sadie, how about I take the cookies to the kid?

Do you mind if I try talking to him?

No, actually, the sooner we get through to him

the better, 'cause last time I checked,

kidnapping is still illegal.

I'm gonna go back to work,

you guys call me later.

Eat 'em while they're hot.

Mm, Phoebes, friendly little tip: lay off the hair spray,

there's a firestarter in the house.

Hi.

( device beeping)

My, uh, sister made some cookies, do you want some?

Mm.

I don't blame you, it could be kind of dicey.

She's not really a great cook.

Why don't you try one, so, you know,

her feelings don't get hurt?

Can I have another?

PIPER: Help yourself.

You know, um, it's probably hard to believe

but something amazing has happened to you.

You've been given a gift.

A magical gift.

And as strange as it sounds,

you're not alone.

I know exactly what you're going through.

Yeah, right.

You start fires, too?

Not exactly.

But I do know what it's like to possess

a power that you can't control.

And to want so desperately

to be normal, but it's just not an option.

And because there aren't

any options, you just sometimes get so angry that you want to...

Whoa!

What was that?

What did you just do?

I proved that I know what you're going through.

But how did you do that?

Pretty much the same way you do.

I've just learned how to focus my emotions and control it.

I wish I could control mine.

Then I could be around people.

Is that why you ran away?

'Cause you were afraid you were gonna hurt someone?

I was scared.

I set fire to the living room couch.

I didn't mean to.

But my foster mom was yelling at me that I was good for nothing.

And it made me so mad, I just...

Whoa!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

It's okay.

In this house, it's okay.

I can also freeze things.

Now, that's cool.

Leo?

Could you get some water?

Oh, Leo,

I'm so glad you came in.

I have a very important question to ask you.

Hmm? Uh, what is it?

Do you think that little boy will be staying for lunch?

Uh...

I would imagine so. ( water running)

Uh, what's the important question?

That was it.

Really?

Phoebe, are you feeling all right?

Peachy keen!

( phone rings) Oh, I'll get it.

Hello?

You got to keep me from killing this slumlord.

I got a meeting in, like, ten minutes

with a guy who's the biggest ass.

Hold it.

Do not make me march down there

and wash your mouth out with soap, mister!

Do you want me to Huh?

Twitch my nose and turn him into Mr. Nice?

No, I want to use an energy bolt

and send him where he belongs.

The jerk cut off the heat,

causing an elderly tenant to get pneumonia.

Then he tried to evict her.

Okay, well, just relax and try to get through it,

and I'll have a martini waiting for you when you get home.

Martini?

Yeah, and a steak.

You really need some more red meat in your diet.

What the hell are you talking about?

( doorbell rings) Oh!

Company.

I have to go.

I'll get it!

Hello. Hi.

Hi. Hi.

We're looking for our son Tyler.

Is he here by any chance?

You betcha. Come on in.

Um, can I make you anything?

A sandwich,

a Spanish omelet, perhaps?

PIPER: Wait.

How did you know he was here?

Maternal instinct.

( screams)

Piper!

I got him.

Leave them alone!

STEVEN: Nobody is keeping us

from collecting our bounty!

No! Stop!

Shut up, Tyler.

( screams)

I didn't mean to.

Tyler, you don't have to explain anything.

We were there, we saw what happened.

I thought I was gonna hurt someone, and then I did.

You did what you had to do.

I did a bad thing.

Tyler, listen to me.

Look at me.

You didn't do a bad thing.

Those were very bad people, and they were gonna hurt us.

You protected us.

Come on, I want to show you something.

Come on, it's okay.

A book?

Not just any book.

It's a magical one.

Can I trust you?

Sure. Yeah.

Okay, let's find out who those people really were.

My foster parents?

LEO: They weren't really

your foster parents, Tyler, they were...

Demonic bounty hunters.

Driven by greed, these heartless, low-level demons

will stop at nothing

to collect their bounty.

So if they're bad, does that mean I didn't do anything bad?

That's right.

Is there anything about me in there?

Actually, I think there is.

PIPER: Here it is.

You read.

"The firestarter.

"An extremely rare

and coveted magical creature."

What does "coveted" mean?

It means highly desirable... wanted.

I'm wanted?

Very much so.

"Their power is linked

to their emotions."

"first manifests itself

in adolescence."

"They're often trained to be the bodyguards of the Source."

TYLER: What's the Source?

A really, really bad guy.

Which means he's probably resurfacing

if the bounty hunters were after Tyler.

So Ludlow must be a bounty hunter too, then.

Who is Ludlow?

Some guy who runs some sort of an academy.

My demon parents were gonna send me there.

To train to serve the Source.

So, then, I am bad.

Why do you say that?

Well, if I'm supposed to use my powers

to protect somebody bad...

No, but that's not how powers work.

They're not good or bad

by themselves.

It's how we use them.

Tyler, why don't you read a little more

while I talk to Piper?

Okay.

See? With a little guidance,

he's already on the road to acceptance and control.

That's great, but I think we have another problem.

I figured out

how the bounty hunters found out where Tyler is.

They tracked his powers.

You mean when he blew up the chair?

Yeah.

So when he vanquished them...

So there may be other bounty hunters on the way.

( to the tune of "Jingle Bells"): ♪ I'm making soup for Cole ♪

♪ He'll eat it in a bowl ♪

♪ I guess that's my new role ♪

♪ Just making soup for Cole. ♪

Where's the firestarter?

( shrieks)

Oh, you nearly scared me half to death.

The boy, now!

I don't like your tone of voice, mister!

Are you all right?

Yeah.

No messy clean up.

Since when

do you scream instead of fight?

Actually, I did consider scratching him.

( sighs)

Okay, that was another bounty hunter, which means,

more are just gonna keep coming until Ludlow gets Tyler.

Unless we get Ludlow first.

Ew!

Dish pan hands.

Leo and I can pose as bounty hunters

and say that we have Tyler,

and we can gain access to Ludlow and vanquish him.

Sure.

Just as long as you're home for dinner.

But he's got to be pretty powerful,

which means, we might need the Power of Three.

Bring Ludlow back here just in case.

And call Paige and tell her

to get her butt back here as soon as possible.

Okeydokey.

Oh God, I'll have everything done for you

in one second, okay?

( phone rings) Two secs.

Paige Matthews?

Serena? Sam.

Phoebe?

Uh, look, I'm in the middle of about a zillion things.

Can I just call you back?

Piper wants you to come home.

And I want you to bring your appetite.

Yeah, Phoebe, like I said,

I'm in the middle of a zillion things.

( loud thudding)

WOMAN: Oh, my...

( indistinct chatter)

YATES: Back off! This is assault!

Yeah, well, it's better than what you do,

which is close to murder!

YATES: Stay away from me!

Oh my God, you would not believe what Cole is doing!

Cole! How is my little sweetie?

Get up, you scum!

YATES: I'll see you in court.

Yeah, you'll see me every time you turn around!

I don't believe this!

Let go of him. What are you doing?

I want that heat turned back on for those tenants

today, do you hear me?!

This is not the way we do things around here.

Yeah, well, maybe you should.

Or maybe I should quit! You're fired!

( game beeping)

He looks so normal.

You sure we should let him play those games?

Aren't they kind of violent?

TYLER: Darn it!

( loud breathing)

Looks like he's learning to handle his power.

He wouldn't have been given them if he couldn't.

Is that what you think about you and your sisters?

I don't know. Maybe.

All I do know is that

when we finally got our powers back,

it felt like we were scrambling to catch up.

And I can't help but think

if we had had our powers from day one,

we would have been more prepared.

Things would have turned out... different.

Prue would still be alive?

And the Source would be dead.

And we would be on our way to having a family

as opposed to just talking about it.

And life would be perfect.

Not perfect, just easier.

Hmm.

( beeping)

PAIGE: Obviously, when I recommended you

for the job,

I thought you were a former demon.

You know, do me a favor, Paige,

and don't do me any more favors.

Good, Paige, you're home.

Yeah, but not for long.

I have to go back to work, unlike Cole here.

Yeah, the Legal Aid thing didn't work out for me.

See, I thought lawyers were supposed to seek out justice.

Okay, we've got bigger problems.

The Source wants Tyler.

So, let's focus on the most pressing matter at hand.

Lunch!

Phoebe.

Darling! Oh, what a pleasant surprise!

Mmm.

Are you feeling okay?

Oh, yeah.

Happy as a clam.

Why?

What was that?

What was what?

You just... flashed, black and white.

Oh, don't be silly. PAIGE: Oh, he's not being silly.

We all saw it.

( scoffs) PIPER: Okay,

we don't have time for this.

We got to get to Ludlow before the Source does.

So, Cole, fix Phoebe.

I don't care how you do it.

Just do it. She needs to write a spell.

Uh, which spell?

PIPER: A Power of Three spell

in case Leo and I have no choice

but to lure Ludlow back here.

( timer dings) Oh!

Biscuits are ready!

We'll need some proof for Ludlow that we actually have Tyler.

We're gonna take his jacket.

Why can't I come with you?

Because it's too dangerous.

But I can protect myself.

Besides, I helped you out before, didn't I?

This is different.

LEO: Okay, everyone,

be ready, be prepared.

No surprises.

Hey!

( Tyler panting) What happened?

He jumped the orb!

Dude, you are so going back right now!

( panting)

MAN: Who are you?

What are you doing here? LEO: We, uh, got lost.

The Academy is protected by charms,

which means you can't find the place unless

you're looking for it.

Kill them.

Whoa, whoa. Whoa!

Let's get out of here.

( sighs) I'm not going.

You want to bet?

Hey!

I said no!

Look, just listen to me.

They don't know I'm a firestarter yet.

Once they do, they'll take us right to Ludlow.

Isn't that what we want?

No! Not at your expense,

and I'm not gonna let you go in there.

And I don't want to spend the rest of my life

with bad guys chasing me.

LEO: He's right. Wherever we take him,

they will eventually find him.

Yeah, but if-if something happens to him...

They won't hurt me, remember?

I'm coveted.

LEO: Well, if he tags along, it might double

your chances of getting Ludlow and not having to go home.

I'd like to do something good for once.

All right, but you stay next to me.

And if anything goes wrong, we are out of there.

Okay.

( sighs)

This better work.

( groans and gasps)

PIPER: Hi.

How'd you...?

We're bounty hunters. We need to see Ludlow.

Who's the kid?

I'm not a kid.

I'm a firestarter.

So, are you gonna let us in or not?

What's the password?

The password?

It's, uh...

Uh...

( gasps)

That was it.

You're in.

( soft grunt)

Oh, hi, honey.

Oh. What are you doing?

This is no time to be taking a bath.

Piper might be home any minute,

and she's counting on you to write a spell.

Oh, I tried.

And I only got as far as "Hey, Demon,"

and then, my mind went blank.

Look,

I don't know what's happening to you...

It might be some backfired spell

or a curse or something... But you got to snap out of it.

There's work to be done!

Yeah.

Hey, why aren't you at the office?

Because I quit my job. You what?!

I don't think I'm cut out for that whole 9:00 to 5:00 life.

Oh, honey, what will you do?

I don't know.

I'm still searching for who I am.

But we know who you are, which is a

demon-fighting, ass-kicking witch

who never lets her sisters down,

so, get out of that bathtub and show me what you're made of!

Better?

PAIGE: Hey, Cole, how's your progress going on...?

Oh, God! Full frontal Phoebe. Sorry.

She just... She-She just flashed.

Yeah, I got that. No, no, I mean,

she just flashed black and white.

PAIGE: Again? She's like

an old TV that's on the blink or something.

Hey, uh, maybe that's the connection.

The-The TV show Bewitched...

Is that in black and white or color?

Originally, black and white.

PHOEBE: Brrr!

I'm very chilly.

Uh, Phoebe, sit down.

Okay.

Why are you asking me about Bewitched?

Because Phoebe was worried

about becoming an old-fashioned housewife like Samantha.

And that might be fine for some people, but for Phoebe,

that could be kind of dangerous.

So, I'll take care of her,

and you need to write the Power of Three spell.

No, I've never done that before.

Well, you're gonna have to learn fast, so go, hurry.

And you.

Yeah.

You're coming with me.

Oh, ho, oh.

Okay. Rrrr!

So, we're gonna try to take him out, right?

Shh.

Yes, I will go first.

( whispers): What if I can't?

I mean, I have to get angry

for my power to work, don't I?

So?

So? What if I'm really just scared instead?

What if it doesn't work?

Just walk through that door.

Through the door?

Yes, through the door.

Relax.

Where is he?

Ludlow!

So,

you brought the alleged firestarter.

You've given us quite the runaround, haven't you, boy?

I said, haven't you, boy?

Yes.

Yes, what?

Yes, sir.

No one teaches manners anymore.

( laughs)

PIPER: About our

payment... see, we don't want

any surprises.

Yeah, 'cause we hate surprises.

What are you doing?

( Leo sighs)

LUDLOW: Oh, you're afraid that I'll grab the boy

and, uh, stiff you?

If the child is a firestarter, you'll get your reward.

If he's not...

you'll all die.

LEO: Well,

Tyler is a firestarter, so that won't be an issue.

Prove it.

Go ahead.

Give him everything you got.

( sighs)

( panting)

LUDLOW: What?

Not even a flicker?

Okay, he's just a little scared.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

Don't be scared, boy.

You're closing in

on the most important moment of your life.

Prove what you are.

And you'll meet the Source.

The most powerful evil that exists in the universe.

PIPER: Yeah, okay, see,

that's not helping.

Do it!

PIPER: He's just a kid.

Do it, boy!

I mean it. Lay off of him!

Insolent! How dare you!

TYLER: No!

LUDLOW ( chuckles): excellent!

Well done.

Tyler?

What did you do to him?

LUDLOW: Just a precaution.

Till the Source arrives, to kill him and steal his power.

But...

Your bounty's outside!

( shrieking and gasping)

( groaning)

( groans)

Leo, hurry.

Go get him!

( grunts)

( panting)

It's a force field

I can't blast through it.

I'll go get your sisters.

Leo...

I know... hurry.

It's a disaster there,

Ludlow has Tyler.

It's a disaster down here, too!

Piper needs her sisters immediately.

Oh, I'll be right with you,

as soon as I finish this sleeve.

LEO: A child is

in danger, Phoebe.

We need you now.

Phoebe?

Who's Phoebe?

PAIGE: She can't go with you,

she doesn't even know

who she is anymore.

I beg your pardon.

I know exactly who I am.

I... am Mrs. Cole Turner.

This is all wrong.

Every since I put that ring on your finger,

you've been acting strange.

You mean I've been acting normal?

Which is strange for you, you know?

I have to be honest.

If this is what being married to you is going to be like,

you can take that ring off now.

I will not!

This ring is a symbol of our love.

That's it!

The ring.

We got to get it off.

Over my dead body!

Won't be necessary.

Gram's ring, please.

No...

Listen to this inscription.

"To gain another is to lose yourself."

Grams cursed the ring. Why?

I don't know.

Good question.

Look.

You feeling better?

I feel a little faint.

PAIGE: Can you hold it together?

We got to go.

I don't know.

I'm still a little confused.

Well, nothing will remind you of who you are better

then saving an Innocent.

Now, go to work.

I can't get in, you got to learn a spell.

Are you up to it?

I think so, uh...

"Door unlock, no magic block."

That's it?

Come here!

ALL: "Door unlock, no magic block."

Honey, maybe we should go back

and check the Book of Shadows again.

I can't leave Tyler here.

Doesn't look like you have much of a choice.

TYLER: No!

Please! Please don't leave me!

Stand back.

TYLER: No! Please!

What was that?

I think you just saw

a mother lift a car off her child.

All the pain is over.

Soon, you will serve the Source.

I'm back.

I paid you your bounty!

Yeah, that's not what I'm after.

( groans)

Power of Three spell?

I don't have one.

What? I don't have one.

I... I did one.

ALL: "The brittle winter gives way to flowers of spring.

Ludlow is vanquished."

( screaming)

What the hell was that?

A haiku...

I couldn't do the rhyming thing.

Leo, he's frozen.

I got him.

His hand is starting to warm up.

( panting)

LEO: He's going to make it.

Let's get back to the gate

and orb home.

Are you sure you want to do this?

It's completely up to you.

Yeah, I'm sure.

It's an awful lot to give up.

No, it's not.

Not for me.

All right, here you go.

It, uh...

will bind your powers.

It won't strip them, but it'll bind them.

( burps)

Say "excuse me."

TYLER: Excuse me.

Ludlow's right:

nobody teaches manners any more.

Do you think it worked?

Try it;

look at something and get mad.

Just think of Ludlow.

( grunts)

I didn't hurt it.

I'm normal.

Whatever that means.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where you going?

To play video games.

Ah.

Still want to have a baby?

Mm-hmm.

I'm just not ready for an adolescent yet.

Well, Paige said she'd found

a pretty good family

not too far from here.

I'm glad, cause I want visitation rights.

Plus, you know, I have to be in touch

in case he ever wants his powers back.

You think he will?

I don't know.

He's a surprising kid.

Yeah, like the "piggy-back orb."

I was so focused

on how I was going to guide him.

Then he ended up guiding me.

How?

Well, you know how I was upset with Grams

for binding our powers...

leaving us unprepared for our magical future.

You mentioned it once or twice.

Well, now I see... the wisdom in her decision.

I mean, she realized

some day we were going to have to battle demons.

But she also realized

that children shouldn't live in fear.

They need to feel safe, to explore

and learn and grow.

I still think magic is a gift.

But Grams gave us the greatest gift of all:

a normal childhood.

The gift of innocence.

( Phoebe giggling)

Okay, okay, stop splashing!

I'll say it.

"Cole Turner is the greatest lawyer in all of the world."

Hmm, greatest unemployed lawyer

in all of the world.

Although, Mr. Yates did respond

to my persuasive argument,

and got the tenants' heat back on.

And he's not going to press charges?

Nope. His lawyer thought the case would

raise more issues than it closed.

I am so proud of you.

Mmm...

Now that was colorful.

Okay, now I think I figured out

what Grams did to this ring here.

Did you now?

I think, to keep her

from making a seventh mistake,

she put a hex on the ring.

So that if she ever got engaged again,

the ring would remind her

of what she hated about marriage.

Mm, the loss of identity,

the subjugation by a man,

the focus on housework.

All those things that I was afraid of.

But Grams was from a different era.

That's not going to happen to us.

Sitting and knitting is not the woman you are,

just like sitting and typing is not the man I am.

No, I can't picture you doing that.

But can you picture us together,

or are you so freaked out by marriage

that you don't... No...

I want to marry you.

We just have to work extra hard

to make sure neither one of us

loses our identity.

And as for Grams

and her notion of marriage...

we can watch that go down the drain.

( chuckles)
