♪ ♪
But it's just static.
Exactly.
I believe it's a pivot point.
A point in time where history can be fundamentally changed.
In that one moment, the future remains unwritten.
I found it.
I'm sorry, I wish we could just curl up on the couch
and cry together, but we can't.
Not while the Unseen have The Book of Shadows.
The Unseen?
You're seriously gonna bring that up right now?
I know it's not easy.
But this is the job. We're the Charmed Ones.
No, you're the Charmed Ones.
I'm not even your biological sister.
You are our sister.
Biological and chosen.
I didn't choose any of this.
Did she just bail?
Oh, yes, she did.
And it's the first step in everything falling apart.
Got to show you both something.
Uh, can it wait?
We're sort of in the middle of something big.
Big like a Bee Bop murder,
which Roxie's about to pull you into?
Someone killed a Bee Bop?
Not someone. It was Lloyd.
In the dollhouse bathroom with the knife.
And you're about to turn into a pixie, sprout wings,
and fly. It's super cool, but...
it won't stop seven billion humans from becoming trees.
Trees. As in...
Green, leafy.
Poof!
Um, Josefina, are you okay?
I'm fine. Everything else is not.
Debes escucharme.
It's all here.
And you need to watch.
'Cause we only have one last chance
to save the world.
(gasping)
Just breathe.
(grunts)
(screaming)
This is horrible.
He's not gone.
And neither am I.
Wait.
We all die?
That super sucked.
But remember,
none of that has happened yet.
We still have a chance to change it.
Okay.
We know what not to do.
What we need is a tape with a plan going forward.
We have stop what we've seen.
I'll get to Jordan
before he meets up with Chloe.
I'll intercept Kaela before she runs
into Ishani out on the road.
Will you find Harry, see if he can get
any more info from that lady in the weird-ass video store?
Mel... Bee Bop murder.
It was Lloyd.
Well, how did you...?
There's a tape.
Long story.
But more importantly...
you were going to go to sleep for seven years
without saying goodbye.
After everything that's happened between us.
I mean, I don't think there's an inch of your office
where we didn't--
Kiss-and-Tell Mel strikes again.
No.
What happened between us has nothing to do
with my Kiss-and-Tell phase.
I was not running away from my grief with you.
What we did...
mattered.
So...
you will not go into hibernation
until we get the chance to talk.
Mm, not this again.
I thought we were done with the "almost running you down" bit.
Same with you running away.
Dev died.
If anyone understands what you're going through...
It's not enough.
I want this all to never have happened.
I want him here with me.
I want that, too.
For Dev. For Macy.
For my mom.
But we can't bring them back.
And something is happening
with the Lost One that's going
to take everyone and everything away if we don't stop it.
"Everything"?
So please.
Just come back with me.
One more time.
Have you ever heard of another world with other Charmed Ones?
Even other Whitelighters?
Nope.
But I once took shrooms and imagined a world
where blood was mayonnaise and chickens had ears.
Well, you're in a state.
I just escaped being hostage to a woman who's either
unbelievably prescient or totally insane.
Would you consider taking over
the Blue Camellia while I'm gone?
Were you even listening?
Yeah, I got the gist.
You have your agenda. I have mine.
Look, I think we've done right by each other,
but running this place with all its complexities?
It's not my destiny.
Well, what is your destiny, Harry Greenwood?
Con man to Whitelighter, to Necrolighter,
to what next?
Well, if I knew that...
Harry!
I've been looking everywhere.
Please tell me you know how to get back
to where this tape came from.
Jordan Chase...
I love you.
Uh, not that I mind, but, um...
what prompted that?
Your death.
I'm tired of...
worrying and wasting time
and us making a mess.
Maggie Vera...
I love you, too.
Mm.
One thing.
Can we go back to the part
where you said, "Your death"?
TROLL: I commit myself to you...
the Lost One.
I commit body...
and soul.
LOST ONE: The present is changing.
I can feel it.
We can still overcome,
but you must
give more.
For you... anything.
Everything.
LOST ONE: They think they can stop me
because they know the future.
But what we do next
will bring them to their knees.
This is super weird.
For a bunch of reasons.
Wha...?
(gasps)
Did I do that?
And like a bad penny, he's back.
That's no way to greet your former hostage, now is it?
She's one who hit you over the head with the flashlight?
Had to knock sense into him.
Can I trust you not to do it again?
Depends on why you're here.
Something's become destabilized.
In your world and likely the world I come from, as well.
Well, do we know that for sure?
It's logical.
Both of our worlds have pathways to this place.
We have to assume things will get messed up on both sides.
Something's happening. The Day of the Fall.
This isn't just that. It's bigger.
Maybe that's why the witch from my world created
this whole store to begin with.
Whatever's about to happen, it could destroy both worlds
unless we stop it.
We saw on our tape how you can get a look
at what's happening right now on one of these screens.
Under ideal conditions, sure.
These are not those conditions.
Let me show you how we used to do it back in the 1970s.
(exhales)
Here. Give me your hand. We'll use our bodies
as the extension of the antenna.
HARRY: Good, yeah, right. The more, the merrier.
HARRY: Looks like the location where the ceremony
to raise Inara took place.
Try moving your right foot.
And this is why I spent the last 15 years
in here doing glutes.
Guys...
DIANA: What the hell is he doing?
I will not fail you, I will not fail you.
I will not fail you, Lost One.
I will not fail you, I will not fail you.
(twigs crunch)
You've got The Book of Shadows and the Bowl, yes?
We'll take it from here.
What, wait, wait, no, no, no.
Wait! No!
This new plan, whatever it is, you need to tell us.
So what?
You can stop it?
You can't-- that's the glory of what comes next.
It's bigger than even the three of you.
Wait, is that...?
One last gift from the Tallyman.
You're not the only chosen ones.
I am, too.
By the Lost One.
An instrument of brutal redemption.
We know how overwhelming that can feel.
Okay? But death is not the answer.
Let's get you home.
I'm not going home.
None of us are.
One way or another...
this... is
our very last day on Earth.
Get back. Get back!
I cannot tell you how tired I am of trying to get
creature innards out of my hair at night.
I know. All this pointless death.
Let's focus on the positives.
Without the Book or the bowl,
no one can raise Inara.
Except that doesn't seem to be what she's planning anymore.
Raising Inara was supposed to bring about
the disappearance of humans. He's a troll.
so what's with the whole...
"This is our very last day on Earth"?
Maybe he's just flat-out crazy.
You know?
Whoa!
LOST ONE: You're just like them.
My sisters.
Weak and afraid.
Inara?
Talk to us.
We can figure this out together.
LOST ONE: No more talk.
I've waited long enough.
You can lock me up,
keep me from rising.
But you can't stop me from changing the world.
(high-pitched ringing)
MAGGIE: What if Ray didn't go anywhere?
These plants and trees around us are actually...
all the humans?
I've been watching what happened.
So many people in pain. We have to stop it.
I know. We're trying.
We got the Unity Bowl and The Book of Shadows back.
So, good.
JORDAN: And the troll?
Not so good.
MEL: And Inara has something else up her sleeve.
Worse than exterminating humans?
We have to find out what it is.
KAELA: Maybe there's some chatter
by the Unseen that could give us a clue?
You okay?
I just have an intense headache.
Probably from Inara's temper tantrum in the woods.
You do get headaches two days before your period.
Mine started yesterday.
Yeah, Monday.
I'll make you some tea later, okay?
Sisters, man.
Magic's got nothing on your connection.
MAGGIE: Sister connection.
That's who we ask.
Okay. But how do we find them?
On the tape.
In the old timeline,
Ishani's due out on the road to meet Kaela about now.
If y'all hurry, you might catch her.
You and I can go find the Guardian.
Yeah.
Ishani should've been here by now.
Something's not right.
Maybe because we're changing what we're doing in the present,
she's not coming to find me.
Hang on.
Banana fitters, which means Ishani was here...
Hey, those look just like my mom's...
Don't do that!
They're drugged!
You really need to watch that tape.
If Ishani was here, we can figure out
where she went to next.
Reveal the path once made.
Bare your soles, before time fades.
Whoa. Nice.
Poor troll actually thought he was dying for a cause?
Maggie said he went full martyr.
Now the question is, what did he know
that made him want to do that?
And this is how you contact the dead, with his blood and guts?
Dirty stuff, Necrolighting.
You chose this path?
Yeah, I did, thinking it would lead to a happier destination.
But it's proving to be just another dead end.
Maggie told me that without your powers,
Dexter would've been stuck in the Veil.
Knowing that he moved on gave her comfort.
Sounds like you helped him
along on his journey.
Well, let's see if I can do the same with our troll friend here.
TROLL (whispering): Hide the book.
Hide the bowl.
I got the book, I got the bowl.
I got the book,
I got the bowl, I just have to...
(exhales)
TROLL: What?
What are you doing here?
Where do you think here is?
I-I don't know.
The-the Lost One promised to send me
to the, the Gates of Glory.
Heaven for my people.
You're trapped between the worlds
of the living and the dead.
What?
No.
No, the Lost One--
To you and everyone else.
But...
But he promised!
Loyalty in exchange for mercy.
Me.
My family.
She promised.
What?
The Lost One.
She's a witch, and not just any witch.
Her name is Inara, and she was a Charmed One.
But... no...
No, that's not, that's not...
The Charmed Ones are the problem.
The Lost One was going to save us from them.
The problem is much bigger
than three young witches who are just trying
to do the right thing.
Trust me. I know them better than anyone.
And they are good people.
No, no, they are wonderful people.
So...
are you
really angry at them?
Or just mad about something else?
Where do I even start?
I'm here to listen and help.
But first, please,
just tell me what you know about Inara's plan.
Yeah.
The, uh, the Lost One...
Inara.
It's the reverse of what she did to humans.
If she can't fix it,
she's going to end all magic.
End all magic?
Yeah, either she gets her way,
or trolls, witches, demons, pixies, ogres,
all of us...
...we get wiped from existence.
And how is she going to do that?
Am I allowed in there?
Only one way to find out.
Dona aditum.
Hopefully the Guardian's in here.
(magical chime)
(grunts)
DEMON: No mercy at the Punch Bowl!
Demons.
They have the Guardian.
Where?
Some place called the Punch Bowl.
We can't just waltz in there after
we spent the last year taking out a lot of their friends.
We're just gonna have to blend in, then.
Glamour powder, here we come.
Oh.
(loud chatter)
This looks bad.
(shouting, clamoring)
Ishta.
We have to stop this.
(snarls)
JORDAN: The hell is she doing here?
Damn.
All three of these sisters are a complete mess.
MEL: That's Ishani's truck.
This is the right place.
MEL: Really? You've got to be kidding me.
Well, you know what they say.
When the world's ending...
just go bowling.
(disco music playing)
40 years together, huh?
Ever considered
opening things up?
Auntie Ishani.
There you are.
I'm so sorry to interrupt, but, um,
our aunt, she left her ointment at home.
(chuckles): No.
Come on, she's joking.
(sighs)
Hold on.
You two look kind of familiar.
Have we ever...?
you know.
MEL: Good God, she's drunk.
Oh, you're the current ones.
Belle and... Taylor?
Mel and Kaela.
We need your help.
With Inara.
Look, I've got some magical Molly
with my name on it, and I just booked lane three,
so I should probably go.
This is serious. Cataclysmic.
No. You know what? Let her bowl.
Let's make this interesting.
I'll join you. If you win, we'll leave.
If we win,
you'll help us.
Game on, sister.
(chuckles) Mm.
You can bowl, right?
Ish.
Look, I can bowl enough to stall for time.
Let's go.
(indistinct shouting)
Charming outfits.
We came here to help you.
Does it look like I need help?
No. But...
This isn't you.
You're the flowy dress ethereal tree lady,
not some demon fight club champion.
Sometimes the ethereal tree lady needs to blow off some steam.
Alone.
Well, if you want a fight, we have one for you.
Inara.
(fight bell rings)
It's time for my next round.
Please.
We stopped her from rising,
but she's planning something else.
We need your help.
I am done helping or stopping my sister.
She's already taken 10,000 years from me.
What if you could change that?
Finally make it right?
Some sisterhoods can be fixed. Some cannot.
Guess which one mine is.
Okay.
Now what?
(fight bell rings)
MAGGIE: If you won't fight Inara,
then you've got to fight me.
ISHTA: You sure
you want a piece of me?
If it gets you to listen, yes.
Suit yourself.

Pics or it didn't happen.
Wait, you have to help us.
Or what?
Or...
I'll do this.
I am
so sorry you lost your sisters.
And I know you're telling yourself
that you're over it, but you're not.
You're stuck here in this weird bowling alley
with a bunch of geezers wearing sparkly tracksuits
because you are stuck.
Come help us, and we'll help you
get unstuck.
ISHANI: You're not ready for what happens
when we three get together.
Entombing our sister alive? (chuckles softly)
Pretty sure that was your idea.
Passing the buck but never the bottle.
Says the girl who picks random fights in demon bars,
'cause that's healthy.
Harry, please tell me the troll gave you something.
I spoke to the poor chap for hours.
He said he wanted to help but then started ranting
about the end of everything magic
and some ancient explosive.
I have no idea
if he was telling the truth.
Wait, an ancient explosive?
You think? Mercy Days?
What does that mean?
"Mercy Days" is the code name
for our last-ditch effort to destroy the Conqueror.
If the Power of Three couldn't stop him, we created a...
fail-safe?
More like a bomb.
To destroy his magic
by destroying all magic.
And all who possess it.
And somehow, Inara has her hands on it?
She can't rise, so she wants to burn it all down.
Herself included.
Hold up. Is this real?
W-We're all just gonna die?
Son of a...
Hair of the youngest.
Blood of the oldest.
And bone of the middle. Thanks to my mom for being
a crazy lady and saving every single one of my baby teeth.
I can keep all my fingers firmly attached this time.
(chuckles)
You're freeing a monster.
One we've spent centuries trying to keep trapped.
Got a better plan?
Let her rot? She deserves it.
If we let her rot away,
the bomb goes off and we all rot.
You assume she cares.
That she'll care about any of us.
You don't know anything about her at all.
Again, got a better plan?
Okay.
(breathes deeply)
I'm doing this.
(rumbling, howling)
Mmm.
Oh, wow.
Ooh, it feels good to move around.
I was worried I was gonna have
a kink in my neck, but... no.
It's like I was imprisoned in that tomb only yesterday.
Hello, Charmed Ones.
New...
and old.
And I do mean old. (inhales sharply)
Time has not been kind to you two.
The whole smoky demon bit's quite a production.
Well, supplicants like a good show. It...
inspires them.
Oh, there's really no need to contain me any longer.
I'm not here to fight.
Oh, and we're just supposed to trust you on that one?
Now, what's the point in fighting when the blast
that's coming
will end it for us all?
HARRY: Looks like concentrated Nebron Root.
Ancient, powerful and deadly.
It's been placed at the convergence of three ley lines.
When it explodes,
it'll follow the lines across the earth and snap back,
destroying everything magical in its path.
How much time do we have?
Impossible to tell with all that moss in the way.
Which is where I come in.
(magical chiming)
We have minutes.
Maybe less than that.
There's still time to stop this.
But you know we can't do it without you.
Do you think after being locked away for forever
and a day that I'm just gonna
change my mind and save you?
You have every right to be angry with us, Inara.
What we did to you was...
It's haunted me every day of my life since.
We're sorry, Inara.
INARA: I get it.
You need me.
So now you're being nice to me.
Wh-- No, no, they were being genuine.
Oh, cut the crap. I'm not falling for it.
You can burn for all I care.
The more painful your deaths, the better.
ISHTA: Seriously, Inara?
Are you really gonna be this petty?
I should've known.
Nothing is ever good enough
for you.
Yeah, you're making it real easy
to move past the guilt phase.
Maybe we should have killed you back then.
And with sisters like you,
maybe I should've let the Conqueror win.
Stop!
You're just gonna argue while the world burns?
Please. We're not gonna listen to lectures from you.
You've already failed.
Lost your real sister.
Had to find... whoever she is.
She's someone who gave up her normal life
to make us complete again.
We've already found more
in this sisterhood
than you ever did in 10,000 years.
(rumbling)
Is that...?
Must be.
We got to go. Now.
ISHANI: Now that it's exploded,
the only way
to stop it is to take on all that energy.
But that means sacrificing yourselves.
Then that's what we'll do.
One way or another...
...when they talk about our legacy,
it won't be our sisterhood that ruins the world.
There was nothing we could do.
You should go.
Please. Let us handle this.
(whirring)
(grunting)
Kaela, you don't have to do this.
Oh, God.
(all grunting)
(crying): Is this really how it ends?
We should've let you go while we still could.
But then I wouldn't have found the two of you.
What-what are you doing?
What we should've done all along.
(breathing shakily)
I think you've got something that belongs to me.
Go. Now.
Why are you...
(grunts)
The same reason you are.
We heard you.
This is our legacy.
Now I get to do what I've always wanted.
Save the world with my sisters.
(whirring intensifying)
(echoing boom)
(gasps)
(indistinct chatter)
(door opens)
(door closes)
I was worried that I'd be too late.
That you wouldn't be...
I'm awake. But not exactly the sharpest tool in the sheep.
Tooth in the shop.
Damn it.
(chuckles softly) The closer I get to sleep,
the foggier my brain gets.
Uh, how much time do we have?
About three minutes.
Oh, God. Okay.
Uh, what do you need?
I could use someone to hold my hand.
I wasn't gonna tell you about going to sleep because...
Well, the last person
I cared about didn't exactly...
hor-horticulture it wall.
Handle it well?
Yes. (chuckles softly)
That.
I just thought it would be easier
for you
if I went quietly into the night.
We're a lot alike.
I was wondering...
I could take over the bar while you're gone.
Right.
One seven-year-long hot girl summer.
What?
No, I wasn't...
I want to keep this place open
because the magical world needs it.
People feel safe here.
It's a lot to take on.
You don't want that roast beef.
(clears throat)
R-Responsibility.
I don't want it.
I need it.
I know how much you've been through with Camellia.
And while I can't promise you
where I'm gonna be emotionally in seven years,
I can promise you that I will always be here
to welcome you home.
Then I guess it's Seattled.
Settled.
Yahtzee.
(chuckles softly)
(salsa music playing)
The response to the next set of affinity group meetings
is totally off the charts.
The first one was so cool.
(clattering)
pixies and trolls hanging out together.
As friends.
Could you do that more quietly?
Oh. Sorry.
But that's what you get for going
shot for shot with a nine-foot-tall...
whatever he was.
He was a satyr,
and turning down one of their drink invitations
is basically, like, an act of war.
Please, with the talking. Could you just... softer.
And kill the music. You know,
when we set out to empower the various communities,
I pictured standoffs.
Not keg stands.
And we still have a lot of work to do.
It's a good start so far.
In the meantime, both of you need to stay hydrated.
MEL: Josefina,
would you mind if I talk to Maggie
alone?
The Blue Camellia isn't going to decorate itself.
Mm.
If this is about the sweater I borrowed last night,
I will buy...
This is not about the sweater.
(sighs)
MAGGIE: Is this...
An apartment.
Two-bedroom. Beautiful.
Loft style.
View of the woods.
How did you know about this?
I ran into Jordan at SafeSpace,
and he told me you two were looking.
We looked. We're not looking.
This is the apartment of your dreams.
He is the man of your dreams.
Why wouldn't you want to live there with him?
You would be okay with that?
Yes.
I wasn't okay with you running away from something,
but if you're running toward something...
(sniffles)
Thank you, Mel. I love you.
I love you, too.
Hey, you know what would make me love you even more?
(sighs)
If you made me breakfast.
Mm.
(chuckles): Please. I'm so hungover.
(footsteps approaching)
Another letter to Macy?
No. No, this one is to myself.
Hmm.
A burn bowl.
On one slip of paper, you write down
all the things you no longer want to carry.
Regrets, fears, traumas.
And on another slip of paper,
you write the things you want...
you want to happen.
Or maybe just how you want to feel.
And then
you carry that with you...
...as a reminder to make it so.
What's on your list?
Stop obsessing over the dead
and start helping the living with my new powers.
I'm gonna meet with the family
of the troll I spoke to in the Veil.
He shared some things with me.
I think it might help them get closure.
Remember him in a way that brings them happiness
instead of more pain.
I'm proud of you, Mr. Greenwood.
Thank you. (soft chuckle)
What about you?
Gonna keep doing this Whitelighter thing but...
...my way.
Which means?
Not just helping witches.
I want to use
my healing powers to help
anyone in the magical community who needs me.
I'm proud of you, Mr. Chase.
Cheers.
Hey. Where have you been?
Painting in the back shed.
Ever since I set up my studio out there,
the art has just been pouring out of me.
How are you not hungover?
Oh, I definitely made Josefina water down all of my drinks.
Seriously?
Hey, is that the piece you've been working on?
Yeah.

"Second,
