[Scene: Inside Gemma's car. Gemma is in the driver's seat, Piper and Phoebe are in the backseat, and Cole is driving. The car screeches around the corner.]
Gemma: Alright, make a left up here. And can you give it a little more gas?
(Cole screeches around the corner, narrowly avoiding a taxi. Phoebe lets out a yelp, and the taxi driver honks his horn.)
Piper: Ease up on the gas! Ease up!
(Piper pats Cole on the shoulder.)
Cole: Does someone else want to take the wheel?
Gemma: Phoebe, Piper, the demon isn't just going to wait for us to come and vanquish him.
Phoebe: We don't even know if we have enough power to vanquish him. Scrying for random evil isn't telling us much.
Gemma: It's giving us the locations of the demons, and considering we've already vanquished two this week, I'd say it's working pretty well.
Piper: Yeah, thanks to Cole for saving us. Two witches and half a demon don't exactly make up the Power of Three.
Gemma: So what's the alternative? Sit back and let them come after us one by one? If we don't go after them, they'll come after us.
Cole: They're coming for you regardless, Piper. The Source has his sights set on you.
Phoebe: And we won't be prepared for him if we're busy hunting every demon in San Francisco, instead of teaching Paige how to harness her powers.
Cole: Speaking of which, do we have any kind of plan here or...?
Gemma: The plan is to vanquish the demon.
Cole: Great. Any chance you've gotten a handle on your powers, or are you still freezing and blowing things up at random?
(Phoebe and Piper playfully hit him on the shoulder.)
Gemma: More random, but you know what they say: practice makes perfect. Take a turn here! (Cole screeches around another corner and enters an alley.) Stop! (Cole slams on the brakes. A bald demon is strangling a man in the middle of the alley. Gemma, Piper, Phoebe, and Cole exit the car.) Hey! Ugly demon!
(The demon turns around, and the man manages to escape and runs away. The demon's eyes glow bright red. Gemma uses her power, and the demon swells up, its face turning red.)
Cole: It's about to blow!
(Phoebe, Piper, and Cole quickly retreat to the car and close the doors. The demon explodes, and green goo splatters on the front of the car. Cole activates the windshield wipers. Gemma walks over to the car and opens the passenger door.)
Gemma: Next!
(Gemma grins and gets back in the car. Piper, Phoebe, and Cole exchange glances, then look at Gemma, who is still grinning.)
Opening Credits
[Scene: South Bay Social Services. Paige is at her desk, engrossed in reading a book about witches and witchcraft.]
Paige (in her head): Throughout history, witches have been misunderstood, persecuted, and destroyed. The public hanging, drowning, and burning of women suspected of witchcraft is a far more recent chapter of our history than most people realize.
