Charmed - Turned upside down

Season 4 Episode 2

Jordan: *wakes up* *kisses Maggie on the cheek* Wakey-wakey, eggs and bac-y. Maggie: *wakes up* You do know that I'm a vegetarian, right? Jordan: Who said it couldn't be perfectly healthy, plant-based bacon? Maggie: Yeah, and ironically there's some cheese to go with those bacon and eggs. Jordan: *chuckles* Maggie: I love you, Jordan. Jordan: Love you, too. *at Vera Manor* Macy: *making potions* Mel: Hey, Mace, what are you doing? Macy: Just making some potions I found in a quite intriguing spellbook. You never know when you're gonna need 'em. Mel: Well, that seems a bit out of hand don't you think? Making potions we've never even used before? Macy: Not really, I just like to be prepared. Mel: Anyways, have you seen Abby? She was here last night, but then she told me she had to go take care of something and I haven't seen her since. Macy: No but I'm sure she's ok. *potion makes a big explosion* Mel: Wow, what does that one do? Macy: It's called the Vial of Honesty. Basically It forces the drinker to say whatever is on their mind. Kind of like truth serum but different. Mel: Well, that could come in handy. Macy: Like I said, never know when you're gonna need 'em. Maggie: *walks in* Hey, guys. Mel: Where were you last night? Maggie: I was with Jordan. Macy: All last night? Maggie: *matter-of-factly* Yes. Mel: Oh, I see...... Maggie: Yeah, So what is all of this? Macy: Oh, nothing, just a potion of Pure Death, a Tonic of Mind Control, a Brew of the Ancestors, a Potion of Ignorance. a Potion of Ghosts, an Elixir of Holy Protection, a Potion of Night Vision, a Tonic of the Crown, a Vial of Greed, a Brew of Chaos, a Potion of Immobilizing. a Vial of Luck, a Tonic of Insanity, a Tonic of Hunger, a Tonic of Death, a Potion of Dream Inducement, a Vial of Strong Impulses, a Draught of Growth, a Potion of Pleasure and a Potion of Joy. Maggie: Damn. That was a lot. But I meant what are they, like, for? Macy: No reason, just thought they might come in handy. Mel: Great, so you can add those super-advanced potions to the potion stash in the command center. Macy: Yeah in a sec. I just need to label them. Jordan: *knocks on the door* Maggie: I'll get it. *opens the door* Hey. Jordan: Um, hey, you, uh, you left your phone at my place. *hands it to her* Maggie: Thanks. Jordan: So, I'll, uh... I'll talk to you later, bye. Maggie: Bye. Mel: Ok, I'm gonna go before this turns into the world's most awkward sex show. Bye! Macy and Maggie: Bye. Macy: *gets a text from Harry* It's Harry, he says he has something to show me. Maggie: Well, you have to go, you can finish your little labeling thing later. Macy: Ok, fine. *leaves the house and goes to the Command Center* Abigael: *rings the doorbell* Maggie: *opens the door* Hey, Abby. Abigael: Hey, Maggie, sorry to bother you but I need a favor. Maggie: What is it? Abigael: Uh, you mind if I come in? Maggie: No, not at all. Abigael: *walks inside* Maggie: So what did you need? Abigael: I need your help casting a spell. Maggie: What kind of spell? Abigael: A spell that makes ghosts appear. Maggie: Why? Whose ghost are you trying to spawn? Abigael: My Brother Hunter's. Maggie: Ok...... why would you need his ghost to appear? Abigael: Because he knows something about the Caine Family and how to reverse it. Maggie: What about the Caine Family? Abigael: Look, it's a long story, I'll explain more later so will you help me or not? Maggie: And have my ass get killed by my sister if I don't? Yeah, thanks but no thanks. Abigael: So you'll help me? Maggie: Sure. Abigael: Ok, So more about the thing in the Caine Family... I'm going to need a drink for that. Maggie: *pours her a drink* Abigael: Thank you. *takes a sip* So, It's kind of like a curse but it's not. You see, every time someone in my family has a firstborn of two different species, the baby's demonic side tends to.... Let's say, take over their bodies and they become Evil. That's why it's called The Darkness Overtake. And in order for me to stop this from happening to Natalie, I have to do something but only Hunter knows what to do to reverse it. Maggie: Wow, that's tragic. Abigael: *downs the whole glass* I know and I don't want that to happen to my daughter. Maggie: Don't worry it won't. How about another drink? To the start of a possible sisterly bond being formed. Abigael: Oh, absolutely. Maggie: Ok. *gets another glass* *pours bourbon in one of the glasses* *sees her phone vibrating* *looks to see who's calling and accidentally pours the Vail of Honesty into the second glass* Hold on, I gotta go take this. Abigael: Alright. Maggie: *Answers it* Hey, Mel. Mel: Do you know where Abby is? Cause she's not at her apartment. Maggie: Yeah, she's actually with me. Mel: What? Maggie: I'm sorry, she said she needed me to help her cast a spell and I knew you would get mad at me if I didn't so I just said yes. Abigael: *accidentally drinks the glass with the Vail of Honesty in it* Ugh, bloody hell that was absolutely horrid. Maggie: Look, Mel, she'll be fine with me, ok? I promise. Mel: Ok... Maggie: Ok, bye. *hangs up* Ok, so, What did you need me to do for the spell? Abigael: Well, actually it's extremely dangerous and could possibly kill you but I figured you've been through some things far worse than it. Maggie: Uhhh, are you ok, Abby? Abigael: Actually I'm not that ok cause I've had a lot of childhood issues and for whatever reason, I always use that as an exucse for my very bitchy behavior. Oh, and also that outfit does not look cute on you at all. Maggie: Oh, no... Abby, did you drink that potion? Abigael: I think so. Why? Maggie: No reason. Abigael: I think you're lying to me and I know that because I'm an amazing liar. If I do say so myself. Maggie: Ok, Abby why don't you go, I don't know, go look at the stars or something. Abigael: Ok..... By the way, that's not possible if it's not night time, Dumbass. Maggie: Oh, god, if only Macy were here to tell me how to cure the potion so I don't have to deal with her crap all day. Abigael: *shouting from the other room* And I don't want to have to constantly protect the people I love from my own family, but you don't hear me bragging about it! Maggie: Yes I do, Actually, and if I'm being honest China could freaking hear you. *back at the command center with Harry and Macy* Macy: Hey, Har, what is it that you wanted to show me? Harry: I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes. Macy: Are you serious? Harry: I'm dead serious. Macy: Ok. fine. *closes her eyes* Ok, tell me when to open them. Harry: Just trust me, okay? Macy: Ok. Harry: *rolls the button around and selects the place he's taking Macy to* Now, follow my voice. Macy: *follows his voice and goes into the portal* Harry: *kisses her forehead* Ok, now... Open. Macy: *opens her eyes and sees a little dinner setup with roses all around it* OH MY GOD! Harry, this is beautiful! Harry: *chuckles* Do you like it? Macy: Hell, Yeah, I love it! Harry: Well, let's cheers to that *picks up two wine glasses and gives one to Macy* Macy: *clicks glasses together* *back to Mel at Abigael's apartment* Jordan: *comes out of the elevator* Mel: Hey, Jordan, what are you doing here? Jordan: I was actually looking for you. I just thought you'd be at Abby's place. But since you're here I do need your help with something.... Mel: What is it? Jordan: So, I was walking into the boxing gym to get ready for a training session then out of nowhere this tall-scary-looking guy started coming up to me and he was trying to choke me. Luckily there were lots of people around so as soon as people started noticing he ran away. Mel: Who do you think it was? Jordan: No clue, but I'm positive that it was a Demon. Mel: Why didn't you tell Maggie about any of this? Jordan: Well, because I..... I just didn't want her to be worried about me, you know? I mean she probably has enough on her plate right now. Mel: Hmm. Ok, well, Jordan, I think I might know a spell that can help you. Jordan: Ok, but we better go fast or whoever that was might find me here. *back to Maggie and Abigael* Abigael: *pacing around the room talking* Ooh, you know what I honestly don't think that future Mel should've sent the baby back in time if she wasn't gonna come back for it. Because now I have to go to all these great lengths just to keep her safe from years of family drama that she doesn't deserve. You know, life was just so much easier when I only cared about myself but then again now I have Mel and I have Natalie and with them I can't just think about myself, I care about them too much. Maggie: *sighs* *thinking: Maybe I should at least try to talk to her, I meam, lord knows she needs a therapist so why don't you just... give it a shot, Mags, you got this.* *clears throat* I think you are just simply having conflicting feelings, Abigael. You are just struggling to protect those you love from harm which is normal for frist time moms. You experience feelings you never thought possibly and at times it can be a little overwhelming. But remember this, never stop fighting for those you love. Believe me, it will all be worth it in the end. Abigael: Well, now I'm starting to think it's cute knowing that chessieness runs in the family. *smiles* Oooh, one more thing- Maggie: *thinking: Yeah, I think that's enough therapy for today.* How about I go make a phone call and you go talk to yourself in the mirror or something? Abigael: No, you're a much better listener than I am. Maggie: Yeah, I'm just not in the mood for it right now. Bye! Abigael: Ugh, I hate you! Maggie: *calls Macy* Macy: Oh, it's Maggie *answers it* hello? Maggie: Hey, uhh, we have a problem Macy: Really, what's going on? Maggie: Abby accidentally drank one pf those potions you made and now I'm over here suffering because she won't stop talking! Macy: Well why don't you just leave? Maggie: Because, I told her that I'd help her and if I leave and something happens to her, I will have to deal with her very angry Charmed one girlfriend. Macy: *sighs* I'll be there in a little bit, ok? Maggie: Ok. Macy: *hangs up* Harry: Where are you going? Macy: Home. Maggie needs me. Harry: Ok *gets a text from Mel: Harry I need you* Well, looks like both of your sisters need us. It's Mel. Macy: I'll go help Maggie you go help Mel, *gives her the marble* Macy *throws the marble on the ground and jumps through the portal* Harry: *jumps through the portal* Macy: *leaves the command center* Mel: Hey, Harry, I need your help. Harry: Yeah I got your text. Mel: Basically, a demon is after Jordan and we need to find out who this person is and stop him. Harry: The Moonlight Flux Spell! Jordan: The Moonlight what now? Mel: The Moonlight Flux spell, it's a spell that lets you identify how you got hurt and who hurt you. Jordan: Ok, well, how exactly does this spell work? Mel: It says here that all I need to do is rub a mix of these herbs on wherever your scar is and say this spell. Harry: Then let's get on with it, shall we? Mel & Harry: starts getting the spell ready* *back to Maggie, Macy, and Abigael* Macy: Mags? Maggie: Oh, thank god I thought I might die here. Macy: Oh, I'm sorry, it's that bad is it? Maggie: Oh my god you don't even know! First, she kept talking about how she thought that she would be a better parent than her mom was, Then all she could think about is her having to constantly protect her loved ones from her family's drama, then she went on and on and on again about her dad not liking witches but for whatever reason had a child with one, and now she won't shut up about how sexually attractive Mel is! Macy: That sounds painful to just sit there and listen to. Maggie: Yeah, and at frist I tried working through her problems with her but she has so many. I mean, if I'm going to be a therapist to her then we're gonna have to lower down the amount of time we spend talking because she's been going at it for like, 2 and a half hours! Macy: Well, it's a good thing it can be cured. Maggie: WAIT, IT CAN? OH, THANK YOU JESUS!! Macy: *laughs* Yeah, it said so in the spellbook. Actually, I think I have it written down somewhere.......*goes into the kitchen* ah, yes it's here. It says that in order for this potion to wear off, the drinker must express whatever is on their mind that's been bothering them. Maggie: Great, The only person who Abby will open up to like that is Mel. Macy: *sighs* Maggie: What are we gonna do? She can't be like this forever. Abigael: *walks in* What is she doing here? I mean hello, Macy. Macy: So, Um, Abby what would you say has been bothering you for a very long time and you just want to get off your chest? Abigael: Well, why do you want to know, it's not like it's any of your business. Macy: *clears throat* Maggie: Oh, Abby, She was just being nice. Abigael: Well, the only place niceness has ever gotten me is to the point where I almost got killed by my own blood. Macy: Ok, What about Mel? Where has niceness gotten you with her? Abigael: That has gotten me in a exhausting state of constant protection for those I care about. Maggie: *whispering* So, that's what's been bothering her, and I'm only saying this because this is the one thing she will not shut up about. Macy: *whispering* Yeah, but how do we get her to express it? Maggie: *whispering* I think I might have an idea. *back at the command center* Mel: Ok, it's ready. Jordan, let me rub this on your neck. Jordan: Ok. Mel: *rubs it on his neck* Ostende mihi quomodo vos got dolet. Jordan: *neck starts glowing as a cloud of smoke appears and shows the moment where Jordan was choked* Spell: *shows a Demon that looks exactly like Hunter* Mel: Is that....? Harry: Hunter Caine. Mel: Why would Hunter come after Jordan, and how is he still alive even? Macy and I helped Maggie kill him. Jordan: Who the hell is Hunter Caine? Mel: I'll explain later. I need to call Abby. *calles Abigael* Abigael: Hello? Mel: Hey, I need to tell you something. Abigael: What? Mel: So, there was this Demon that came after Jordan and he managed to escape. However, it turns out that the Demon that's after him is Hunter. Abigael: What? How is that even possible? I thought he was dead. Mel: I thought so too. Abigael: Just give me a minute, I'll handle it later. Mel: Ok. Abigael: Actually I won't 'cause I really don't want to get involved in Hunter's business. Even though I did come to Maggie to attract Hunter's ghost. I just told her I needed his ghost to appear but really I casted his ghost but he kind of got away. Mel: Oh, no.... Hey, babe, can you give the phone to Macy, please? Abigael: Fine, whatever. *gives the phone to Macy* Macy: Yeah? Mel: What the hell happened to Abby? Macy: Umm, yeah, so, long story short she may have accidentally drank the Vial of Honesty. Mel: What? Guys, I'm coming. Macy: No, don't worry about it, Maggie and I have things all under control over here. Mel: You better. Macy: bye. *hangs up the phone* *sighs* So, Maggie. You mean to tell me that in order to get Abby to express her feelings toward Mel's and her's relationship, we have to just sit and listen to her talk? Maggie: Yeah, well, we have to really listen to her, or at least make it seem like we care. Macy: Ok, fine. Maggie: Ok, Hey, Abby, can you come in here? Abigael: Ughh, what is it now? Maggie: We just want to know more about how you feel about you and Mel's relationship. Abigael: Don't even get me started on that, now first we started dating and everything was going great until that ''danger'' was coming. We had to give Natalie to my sister, and Mel would not stop talking about how she wished that her daughter was here and how she missed her so much ugh! Don't me wrong, I love my daughter, but does that have to be the only thing you ever talk about, like seriously, we get it. Oh I completely forgot about the part where she didn't even think to ask me how I felt about Natalie leaving, and doesn't even understand how much stress I'm under, having to always be the only one protecting her and Natalie. She doesn't know how much I've longed for a family of my own and how hard I'd work just to keep them safe from harm. And she doesn't know how big of a burden it is to carry, having a family that might one day be responseible for the death of my only daughter, It is extremly tiring carrying around all that guilt and even more so having to do it all by myself because Mel's family isn't like mine, you guys don't have a million enimies gunning for your head 24/7, no, I think that would be my family, thank you very much. Maggie: Yeah, that seems like a lot. Macy: Yeah, and I totally know that's like too. Abigael: Wait, real- *Potion wears off* ugh! I just have the worst headache. Maggie: Wait. does that mean........ Macy: It does, it says in the spellbook that when they express themselves they will have a short headache but the potion will have been cured. Maggie: Thank you, Lord! Macy: *laughs* *back at The Command Center* Mel: I have no idea why Hunter would be after you but he's definitely going to come back. Good news is I have an idea on how to trap him. Jordan: Anyone mind telling me who this Hunter is? Mel: He's Abby and Parker's brother. And a vicious demon I might add, you don't want to mess with him. Jordan: Noted. Harry: So how exactly do you plan to trap him? Mel: first we'd have to lure him in... Jordan: How? Mel: We'd have to use you as bait. Jordan: Are you sure? Mel: Don't worry I won't let him get to you. Jordan: Ok, good. Mel: After we lure him in, I'll use The Bruja's Ladder on him. And then I'll put a Containment Spell on him. Harry: Sounds good, but how do we get him in the Command Center? Mel: We don't. We have Jordan go into the boxing gym and wait for Hunter to show up. And when he does, I'll get The Bruja's Ladder and put it on him, then we'll take him here and put the Containment Spell on him. Harry: Mel, are you sure that's a good idea? Mel: I'm not exactly sure about it. But I do know that this is our only chance to stop him. Unless anybody else has any ideas... *silence* Thought so. Let's go. Harry: Yes ma'am. Jordan: Aye, Aye, captain. *leaves the Command Center* Harry: *leaves with him* Mel: *leaves with them* So here's the plan: Jordan and I will go into the boxing gym and wait for Hunter. Harry, you make sure nobody sees us. Then, once Hunter shows up, I'll put The Bruja's Ladder on him, and then I'll use sleeping powder on him so you and Jordan can take him to the Command Center. Got it? Harry and Jordan: Got it. *back at Vera Manor* Abigael: Well, I think Mel has Hunter under control. I won't be needing your help anymore. Maggie: Yeah, but there is something that I've been meaning to talk to you about, Abigael. Abigael: I can tell by the fact that you called me 'Abigael' and not 'Abby', that this is indeed something important so, I'm listening. Maggie: *sighs* Well, it's just that.... I heard you, Abigael. I really heard you and I know that you're going through a lot right now and that is why I've done some thinking... and I've decided to consider ofering to be your therapist, I mean, lord knows you and me both could really use it. *chuckles lightly* Abigael: And might I ask why the sudden change of heart. Earlier you acted like you couldn't stand listening tio me. Maggie: Because, like I said, I listened, Abigael. And I know how much you're hurting and I want to be able to make it better for you. I figured that after everything we've been through, I kinda owe you this. Abigael: You know what? Why the hell not? Maggie: Yay! Abigael: *chcuckles* Yeah, I'm gonna go head home. but I'll guess I'll see you around, Dr. Vera. Maggie: Bye. Macy: Bye. Abigael: *leaves* Macy: So, what are you going to do now, Mags? Maggie: I think I'll just go and take a nice, long nap, you know I could really use one right about now. After everything that's happened these last few days. Macy: Yeah, Well, I am going to take these potions back to The Command Center before anything else happens. Maggie: *small chuckle* *goes upstairs* Bye. Macy: Bye *sighs* *back to Jordan, Harry, and Mel* Jordan: *goes into the boxing gym* Mel: Now all we have to do is wait for him to come. *a few seconds later* Hunter: *walking toward Jordan* *tries to choke Him* Mel: Not today. *gets the Bruja's Ladder from Harry* Knot of one, thy power undone! Nudo de dos, protégenos! Knot of three, so let it be! Hunter: *trapped in The Bruja's Ladder* Harry: It's safe, nobody's looking. Mel: Ok. *blows sleeping powder on him* Hunter: *falls asleep* Jordan: *Grabs him* Harry: Here, let me help you with that. *helps Jordan take Hunter to The Command Center* Mel: *Opens the door to the Command Center* Ok, go put him over there. Harry and Jordan: *puts him in the chair* Mel: Ok, Harry, hand me the powder. Harry: *hands Mel the powder* Mel: Alligatum est *blows the powder* that should keep him contained at least for the time being. Macy: *walks in* Hey, guys- Wait what? How is he alive? Mel: He's not, this is just his ghost. Macy: Ok, Well, what's his ghost doing here? Mel: Well, He's after Jordan but we don't know why or how exactly. Macy: Ok. Well I just came here to drop these off. *puts the potions on the table* and now I will be on my way. *leaves* Harry: Should I stay here and watch him? Mel: No, you two can go. I'll come back in the morning and ask him questions. Harry: Ok, bye. *leaves* Jordan: I wanted to thank you for saving me. Mel: No problem. Jordan: Peace *leaves* Mel: *sighs* *calls Abigael* Abigael: *voice-recorded* Hey, it's Abby. leave a message. Mel: *talking in a voicemail* Mel: Hey, Babe, I was just calling to see how you were doing. And to tell you that I love you, Always have. Yeah, but anyways, call me back. *leaves* *at Vera Manor* Macy: Hey, Mel. Mel: Hey, is Abby around here somewhere? I was hoping to talk to her but she's not answering my calls. Macy: Actually she went home a little while ago. Mel: Ok thanks, bye. Macy: Bye. Mel: *at Abigael's apartment* Abby? Abigael: Hey, Babe. come to check on me again? Mel: I just wanted to see if you were ok, 'cause you weren't at the house with Maggie and I was starting to get a little worried. Abigael: Look at you, worrying about me. Who are you and what have you done with the Mel who didn't care if I lived or died? Mel: That was a different me, ok? the new mesees you for who you really are and is crazy in love with you. Abigael: Mel, You make me feel like the luckiest person in the whole world. Mel: Yeah, me too. Abigael: *slowly kisses Mel* Mel: *slowly kisses Abigael* Mel: *takes Abigael's jacket off* Mel & Abigael: *goes into the bedroom* Abigael: *takes belt off and throws it on the ground* Mel: *takes her shirt off* *pushes Abigael on the bed* *gets on top of her and kisses her* *takes her shirt off and kisses her again* Abigael: I love you. Mel: I love you, too Abigael: *kissing her boobs* Mel: *moans* *the next morning* Mel & Abigael: *asleep* *wakes up* *sees Mel still sleeping* aww you look so cute when you're sleeping, Baby. *rubs her thumb against Mel's check and kisses it* *gets up* *covers Mel with extra cover* *leaves a note on the nightstand* *leaves the bedroom* *goes into the Command Center* *walks toward Hunter* Hello, dear half-brother. Hunter: Well, Look at what the cat dragged in. Abigael: *scoffs* Says the person who's been a rotting corpse for almost 3 years. Hunter: *laughs* Well, Well, Well, if it isn't the bastard child, Abigael Caine. What brings you here? Abigael: Business, of course. Hunter: Hmm. Abigael: I need something from you. Hunter: And what makes you think I'd ever help you? Abigael: Because if you don't, then I will torture you in ways you couldn't even imagine. Hunter: *laughs* I'm a Demon. Torture means nothing to me. Abigael: Then what will make you give me what I want? Hunter: *scoffs* Like I'd ever tell you. Abigael: *sighs* Look, my daughter's life is at risk. If you don't give me the cure for the Darkness Overtake, by the time she turns 8 months, she'll be doomed. Hunter, you know what the Darkness Overtake feels like, and I don't want that for My Daughter. Hunter: If you Love her the way you say you do... then I'm going to assume you'll do anything to save her from the Darkness Overtake. Abigael: Yes I will. Just name it. Hunter: Well, then. Here's our deal: I'll tell you how to reverse it If you resurrect me. Abigael: *scoffs* Hell, no, Hunter. Hunter: Oh, come on it's not that big. It's simple, really. So, Abigael, resurrect me and I'll tell you how to save your Daughter. Those are my terms, take it or leave it.
