MAN: [whistles] Kaela! Outside, now!

♪ Got fire in my bones...

Look, Sal, if this is about the Scrambler,

I called the distributor weeks ago,

said I needed a right foot support for a 450.

Idiot sent me a left foot support in crap condition

and then gave me manitude when I demanded a replacement.

It's not about the Scrambler.

The owner of the building called. Very angry.

Does not like to see his wall covered

in graffiti.Whoa, whoa, dude--

got to be careful throwing around the G word.

I mean, look at it.

The technique, the clever use of metaphor.

This is a serious piece of art.

Kaela, I know it was you.

I see the paint on your coveralls,

the spray cans in your locker.

Well, I mean, technically they're cubbies,

'cause someone was too cheap to spring for actual lockers.

But, um...For months,

I see you rubbing your head.

You come in late, tired.

Can't be good, sniffing fumes.

It's not me, Sal.

Kaela, you're a great mechanic.

No one better.

But I worry.

And for your own good, you got to choose.

Work for me,

maybe someday even own the shop.

But you got to stop with painting on the walls.

KAELA: So I quit.

Sal said I could apologize to the owner of the building

and, you know, paint over it, but my art comes first.

As your cosmically assigned BFF, I support you.

"But I'm concerned you have accrued a substantial amount

of debt due to prior medical complications..."

I don't sound like that.Yeah, you do, bitch.

Okay, well, I have to blend in with the suits,

if I, you know, want to keep my job.

Mm-hmm. Look, I get where I'm at financially

and health-wise, but life's too short.

And even if I don't, I got you to fall back on.

So I'm sweet.

Speaking of, I have something I need to show you.

What?

[grunts softly]

ALL: Surprise!

Hi.

Oh, hi!

Hi.

Hi, baby. [laughs]

You guys are so sweet.

Happy five years in remission, girl.

Look, we know you stole whatever's in the backpack,

so hand it over and we'll let you go.

Okay.

Jordan, blade.Got it.

Thanks. I owe you.

Maggie, behind you![yelling]

Hey, um, you want to come back to my place?

We can just hang out and talk.

Uh, yeah, sure. Be right back.

Luckily, I've got the magic touch now.

Well, I think you have something on your lip.

Hey, Duncan, send me home.

Quickly, please.

[squealing, crying]

Hold-hold that thought.

What is that?

[soft whimpering]

Aw. [laughs softly]

It's a Zamba Zaraa.

Some demons like to snack on them.

I know, it's horrible.

Especially seeing as they're super sweet.

[laughs softly]Hey.

Aah![growls]

So much for super sweet.

[door opens]

Hey.Hey.

How was your night?

It was fine. You know, nothing too exciting.

Same.

Well, I'm gonna grab a snack and crash.

I have Abnormal Psych at 8:30.

Yeah, I have to get up early to finalize the new syllabus.

See you in the morning?Yeah.

♪

Hope you said hello from me.

I do every night.

Everything quiet inside?

Ah, yeah.

They're both home,

padding around the house until all hours.

Now they spend all day

searching for the other,

then all night trying to distract themselves from...

...what happened.

At least Maggie and I are putting a dent

in demon stupidity, but Mel--

I don't even know where she goes.

Any luck getting her to talk about

what happened with her and Ruby?

No, she just changes the subject.

Mel and Maggie-- they're a complete mess.

For everyone's sake,

they need to find the third Charmed One.

If she even exists.

Well, the Guardian said...I know what the Guardian said,

but if she were all-knowing, we wouldn't be where we are now.

Hey, your finger. What happened?

Uh, I got bit.

By a Zamba Zaraa?

That's not likely. Zamba Zaraas are tame.

I don't even think they have teeth.

Okay. That's weird,

'cause this one definitely had teeth.

Do you think that's something we should look into?

If you want.

♪

[music playing]So it's a pixie fledgling ceremony

for my new friend Annie.

It's a big deal, like a quinceañera or a Bat Mitzvah,

only with Pixies.

it's when they finally get their wings.

Could you do that a little bit more quietly?

Sorry. You're hungover.

I'll make some sopa de pollo con fideos.

You don't need to keep taking care of us, Josefina.

It's what family does, prima.

And I'm going to stay until you and Mags are okay again.

Speaking of.Morning.

[softly]: Hey.

Pixie fledgling ceremony today.

Mel's totally gonna rally and go, right, Mel?

Hey, Josefina, could I talk to Mel

for a second, alone?Sure.

MAGGIE: And would you turn down the music?

I got to go get ready.

This hair isn't gonna fix itself.

If this is about you and the apartment again...

A unit finally opened up at Northgate.

It's, like, the perfect size for me,

and I'll have a view of the woods.

I just need someone to cosign the lease.

So you're taking off?

Mel, this... this isn't working.

Believe me, I know.

We've looked into the lineage of every witch on that board,

gone through Mom's old letters

to see if we have another secret sister...

Yes, that, but also us.

Something has to change.

Just like that?

Like you said,

something has to change.

Well, thanks, I guess.

Revela daemonem inimicum.

She didn't even fight for me.

Time for some demon ass-kicking in...

...Mexico City.

What the hell?

Seriously?

Philadelphia?

Bring it on.

Mel? What are you doing here?

And what was that smoke?

It's nothing. I...

I realized I forgot my jacket... somewhere.

And I went to grab it and go home, but...

where are we?

Philadelphia. I was trying to go to Mexico City,

but the board sent me here.

That doesn't make any sense.

Think we should go home.

By "home," do you mean Vera Manor

or a crappy apartment in Northgate?

Seriously? You want to do this here?

I don't want to do this at all.

Maggie, look out!

Are you crazy?

You're lucky I installed new brakes. I got...

It's you.

Maggie, look.

How do you know about that symbol?

Wait, we need to talk.

[thunder rumbles]

Her? I mean, do you really think...

That would explain why we both ended up in Philadelphia.

Like some magical fate brought us here.

You saw the lightning.

The same as when it happened to us.

Okay.

Great time for the clutch to go.

What the...

Whoa...

We need to get her back to Seattle,

explain this all, like Harry did with us.

I'm not saying we tie her to a chair in the attic,

just, like, a gently forced trip.

Pretty sure that's the definition of kidnapping.

Well... whatever it is,

we may have lost our chance.

If someone slipped me acid again, I swear to God...

Oh, no.

This is what I've been seeing in my dreams.

♪

[book thuds]

MEL: We should have never left her alone.

She needed a minute, Mel.

We don't have time for that.

We need to figure out who she is and what the hell is going on.

Mel. Look.

Okay, we go back to the command center.

Tell Harry, Jordan and Josefina.

We found her once. We can find her again.

Ugh, what is this? And why did that thing bite me?

Oh...

Hey. You seen Mel and Maggie?

Uh...

Not since, uh, late last night.

Everything all right?

Uh, well, I can't identify this coin

or figure out if it had anything

to do with my getting chomped by a fuzzy wuzzy.

You ask Harry?

Dude's a walking magical encyclopedia.

Yeah. Wasn't the least bit interested.

Welcome to my world.

I've been trying to get Mel and Mags

interested in anything for weeks.

Grief is a mountain

surrounded by a murky moat filled with crocodiles.

That's it.

You're coming with me.

Vamos. Levántate.

Pixie fledgling ceremony. I have to

pick up a present first, so I'll meet you there.

I don't know, I...Come on.

It'll be goodfor you.

It'll be good for both of us.

[glasses clinking]

KAELA: Losing my damn mind.

Keep it together.

Keep it together.

Are you new here?Nope.

[chuckles] I don't work here.

Don't even know where here is.

All I do know right now

is that I really need a drink.

At 11:00 in the morning?

Look, dude, some things excuse drinking before noon.

Why do you think they invented brunch?

Don't tell me you've never needed to take the edge off.

[scoffs]

Why don't I make you a cuppa?

Okay.

[sighs]

Y-You've got good technique.

Ah.

My agya,he loves his tea.

Agya?

Father. Ghanaian.

He gets hibiscus and blackberry leaf delivered.

Says that drinking tea transports him back to the sea.

Uh, Cape Coast is beautiful.

Sorry.

I'm kind of out of my mind today.

Think it's probably been the strangest day of my life.

Harry.

Kaela.

Harry.

Oh, my God.

You found her.

What do you mean, "her"?

Text Jordan.

Running a little late.

See you in 15.

♪ [indistinct chatter]

Are you here for the ceremony?

Yeah. Um, but my friend who gave me the address--

uh, she isn't here.

Are you the guest of honor?

Oh, no, that's Annie, my sister.

She gets her pretty, pretty wings today.

I'm Chloe. Got mine years ago.

[giggles] I'd show you, but we just met.

Wait. If you don't

know Annie, who invited you?

Um, Josefina?

Oh! The best triple scoop.

[gasps] OMG.

Wait.

Does that mean you know the ones who are Charmed?

OMG. Macy.

So sad. And Mel, so cool.

Maggie? I so, so, so love her.

Yeah, hey, I'm just gonna text Josefina.

Oh, no need. All good.

Until she gets here, you're my plus-one.

[laughs]:Come on.

Look, just stay away from me.

Kaela, wait. Look...What?

I'm gonna do something that I think

is gonna make you feel a lot calmer.

No. You're not gonna do anything

that's gonna stop me from...

Oh.

What... what was that light?

I incepted you with calm.

You should feel less anxious.

There's a lot we need to explain, but first,

how did you get here?

I was on my bus, and...

...a ball that I painted

came out of the canvas,

and then there was, like, this circle of light.

A portal.

A portal.

And I, um...

...I got sucked through it to this weird-ass bunker.

Command center.

MEL: How did you find us back at the bus?

Did you use a dousing rod?

What-what are you talking about?

Uh, you are a witch, right?

Or magical

in some way?

Magical, like, um, like, "Poof,

watch me make this elephant disappear"? [laughs]

She's not a witch.

Look, I-I was brought up to respect

whatever version of spirituality works for you, but...

wands and broomsticks? [chuckles]

Try Potentia Trium.

If she's the one, it should work.

We need to hold hands.

And say Potentia Trium.

This is a cult, isn't it?

We know this sounds weird, but

it'll clear something up.

I got to say, "polenta" what?

Potentia. Potentia Trium.

Okay.

On the count of three.

One, two, three.

ALL: Potentia Trium.

Well, I guess that's that.

MAGGIE: Harry, wait.

She's not it, Maggie.

Harry, she knows about the tree.

And Mel and I saw the same lightning

when we first met Macy.

She's not a witch, doesn't know anything about magic.

Look, we would've said the same thing

before mom unbound our powers.

It doesn't make sense.

This random person,

seemingly unconnected to either of you,

and she's the one who's supposed to replace Macy?

Harry, is there any part of you

that doesn't want her to be a Charmed One because...No,

she can't be it.

And I'm gonna prove it.

[door opens]

Whatever trick you used to get me here,

just reverse it and send me home.

No. We need to talk some more.

About what?

How Hocus Pocusis a documentary

and there's a Quidditch field out back?

You're not joking, are you?We think

you might be one of the most important witches alive.

You might be the third Charmed One,

a protector of the magical world.

You guys are actually nuts.

I'm not sure who you're looking for, but I am super

not that girl.

Look, we get it.Mel.

It's hard to even comprehend.Mel.

Wait, is that...

Josefina. Yeah.

'67 Bonneville, you say?[American accent]: Yeah, I've been thinking

about buying it, and I need someone to check it out.

Bring it in. I'll have my new guy look it over.

New guy? Oh, I came here

because I was told to ask for Kaela.

Kaela.

Yeah.Uh, she's on vacation.

Ah.But let me get a photo of my new guy's work.

He's really great.

[regular accent]: Now, that is interesting.

[shutter clicks]

It has to be some form of

transformational magic.Like that witch Jordan found

trapped in the painting.

How could this have happened?

No one else has access

to the command center.

Wait, could eating this have caused it to happen?

Where did you get that from?

It's like the...

the thing that happened on my bus, with the ball.

Her art comes to life.

[exhales]

So she has manifestation powers,

which would make sense for the new third.

New?

What do you mean, new?MAGGIE: Guys.

We're not alone.

CHLOE: Oh!

That's my sister.

Annie. Yes!

You go, Annie! [giggles]

[soft laughter]PIXIE: Attagirl, Annie!

The box of dreams.

She'll put a token in there.

A gift to our goddess of flight.

[soft clatter]

She says a prayer of empowerment.

And now the gossamer wings.

Is that supposed to h...

No, it's all wrong.

Everyone, get down!

[roaring]

What the hell is that?

Hey! It...

It's like a black hole.

Get down! Get down.

KAELA:Should we get out of here before that thing

swallows one of us?There's no way

we're opening a portal and we can't get to the door.

Uh, hold on.

Hold on to each other.

Wait. Josefina.

This is insane.

This is completely,

certifiably insane.Oh, God,

Um, I'd kind of like to know where we are.

You know about that?

Look, guys, um, I'm not usually

one to get in between a family beef, but

can we go back to the part

where you said that I was the new one?

You've done this before?

Just a few years, like, three or four.

Can we talk about that after we figure out

how to reverse our paper doll cousin?

Let's ask Roxie. She can help.

Who's Roxie?

I don't care what some banshee scream-called you.

You know my rules.

Keep your business out of my business. Duncan.

Smoke him out.

PATRON:No, no,

wait!

That's Roxie. She runs the place.

Hide your girlfriends, folks. Mel Vera is back in the house.

Look, if Lady Picasso here really is

a manifestor, especially one who doesn't know

her abracadabra from gesundheit,

then what attacked you was a being from the negative space.

From the what?KAELA: A negative space.

The term for the unused area around a drawn figure.

So you're saying

that when my apple manifested,

and Josefina took a bite...

She became part of the manifestation, leaving behind...

Unstable negative space.

Kind of like some of the ladies you've ghosted around here.

[sighs]

All right, how do we fix it?

Look, I'm just spitting theories. You want a pressurized

Mumford trap to catch a problematic dwarf,

I'm your lass. I don't know

what to tell you about your little

paper doll predicament other than

get your crap together before your cousin bleeds out.

What?

Bleeds out?

Well, you did rip her arm off.

Oh, my God.

If I'm the cause of this, we need to go back and fix it now.

Do either of you have any idea how to do that?

You're the artist.

Yeah, I paint on walls and canvas,

not negative space beings.

I have Josefina's arm.

Okay, well...

I have some paints in my bag.

Maybe I can go back and fill in the chaotic space?

We can't just go rushing back.

Someone's gonna get hurt. We need a plan.

Kaela, you don't understand.

This is really dangerous.

We can't just go running back there.

What I can't do is be

the reason that somebody bleeds out.

Supe totes thanks for healing me.

And the others.

I thought Harry Greenwood was the only Whitelighter left.

I'm...

I'm not a Whitelighter, exactly. I...

Honestly not sure what I am.

Well, whatever you are, I can see why Maggie likes you.

[soft chuckle] I'll call her and Mel,

get them to come help you find your sister.No.

This is a pixie matter.

We'll find her, fix it.

Do you have any idea

what caused your sister to hulk out?

Maybe the goddess was displeased with her offering?

But that wouldn't explain the super cray bat wings.

Be right back.[laughs softly]

[creature roaring]Do you think

we could staple her back together?

KAELA: Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Uh, you go for the paints,

and I'll try to cover you.

I'm sorry Josefina! I'm so sorry.

I'm going.

What the hell do you want?

Take that, you suck monster!

Well, that didn't work.Yeah.

And this is why we make a plan.

[roars]

Magic is... is real.

And you're both...Yes,

we are.

And I'm probably...Yes.

KAELA: Oh, my God, it's all real,

and your cousin's probably gonna die because of what I did.

Hey. You couldn't have known.

But we'll figure this out together.

MEL: Wait.

Is that the Power of Three?

Whoa.

Fill it in.With what?

Wait, I got it.

Ow.

So, I'm actually a...

Manifesting witch. Yeah.

And that sparkly blue thing was...

The Power of Three.

Yes, it's what we thought would happen

when we tried that thing in the gym.

Why'd it work this time?

Maybe because the first time we tried it,

you thought we were nuts,
