Previously onCharmed...Parker.

Please,you're better than this.

[grunts]

He's dead.

I am your new Overlord.

It's time for a matriarchy
to ascend.

[cheering]

I'm gonna make youpay for this.Get in line.

Marrying Parker would have beena mistake, and I know that now,

but there's a part of me
that still blames myself
for his death.

MACY:
You don't have to feel guilty

about Parker being dead.

He's alive.PARKER: Look, I'm sorry

for everything that happened.

Maggie, that
wasn't me.

Yes, it was you.
It was part of you.

The part of youthat is never going to change.

I belong to a group

that's a littlemore off-the-grid.

Let's just say we're, uh,
true believers.

[sonorous chanting]

They're reanimating the dead.

[roaring]

They've created monsters
they can control.

Potentia Trium!

HARRY:
We need to find the answers

to our most pressing questions,

like who's running
that Faction of zealots

and how did they create
that monster?

DNA from sevendifferent species and counting.

You almost sound impressed.

I am. It's brilliant,
if it weren't so diabolical.

Splicing magic
into human DNA is...

An abomination?

And groundbreaking.

And a threat. This group,

they're playing God
with the magical world.

But the science is elegant.

I mean, so far,we've only seen

reanimated corpses.Which suggests

they don't know how to transfermagic to the living.

If they could, they would've
tried it already.Emphasis on "already."

We need to neutralize them
before they figure that out.

I'm in furious agreement.

[computer chimes]

Aha.

Uh, human DNA belonged
to a 40-year-old John Doe,

died three months ago in Tacoma.

Apparently, when his body
went unclaimed,

it was donated to a medical
research facility in Idaho.

"MRTI"?

MACY:
"Donating your body to science

"is the ultimate gift
to future generations.

In death... give life."

Idaho.

Oh, and the Faction
had a warehouse

in Wisconsin, a
facility in Duluth.

Maggie and Jordan encountered
them in New Orleans.

Mel and Ray in Reno.
It seems the Faction is...

Everywhere.

[phone chimes]

Okay.

[inhales sharply]

[groans]: Oh, uh...

[chuckles]What? Bad news?

No. I was just supposed to
grab a coffee with Julian.

I'm already ten minutes
late. I-I can reschedule.

No. No, no. You should go.

Oh, but...There's always gonna besomething pressing.

You have to liveyour life, Macy.

I'll check out this facility in
Idaho. We'll reconvene later.

Just an hour.

I'll be back.

You know, if this is youplaying hard to get,

you should just knowthat you are very good at it.

I, honestly,just lost track of time. Again.

If only there was, like,this magical little device

that could tell you the hour,and-and you could, like,

Like, on your wristor something.
Mm-hmm.

I don't know.I'm just spitballing.

[laughs]

Okay. Um...

Seriously, though,I'm a big boy.

If this is all too much

or... if there's someone else...

No.

No. I've just...

...been really busy.

Good.

Because, um,

I got you, uh,

a little something.

Oh, no.

[scoffs] Did Julian Shea
just ask you to marry him?

[laughs] No.

No, no.
Uh...

Uh, well,

we saw the blue box he gave you.

This?

Yeah.

That's serious.

MACY:
So is he.

He wants to be exclusive.Wow.

Uh, that's-that's big news.

MACY:
Yeah.

Then why aren't you wearing it?

Well, just...

just in case I lose it.

You know? I don't know
how I'd explain to Julian

it got snatched
by a smoke monster.

[Macy chuckles]
Huh.

You know, let's, um,

let's just keep this
between us for now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Of course.
Of course.Yeah. Of course.

[alert sounding]

[Mel sighs]

Never a dull moment.

[insects buzzing]

[whimpering]

It's okay. We're witches,
we're here to help.

What happened?

Demons. They attacked me
and my sisters.

Unprovoked.

It's okay, you're safe now.

Or maybe not.

You stole
my birthday present, witches.

I want it back.

Trust me, frat boy,you're definitely not her type.

Do you have any idea who I am?

MAGGIE:No.

And we don't care.

So take your little friends
and go home.

This playdate is over.

I've got a better idea.

[buzzing]

Potentia Trium!

You have no idea
what you've done.

[grunts]

Godric, what have I told you

about barging induring teatime?

Sorry, my Overlord,
but we have a problem.

Alfred's been vanquished.

By the Charmed Ones.

Damn it. Who else knows?

Word's spreading
like wildfire.

The Carnals are
demanding retribution

for the assassination
of their leader's son.

Oh, the only thing Alfie
ever led was

a misogynistic crusade against
me, undermining my authority

with the other
bloodline leaders.

Now, even in death,
he's a thorn in my side.

I need to think.You need to act.

This could destabilize
the entire Demon World.

Don't you think I know that?

Abigael, you need to squash
these witches once and for all.

Destroy the Charmed Ones.

Or it'll be your
head that rolls.

in the medical field.

T-The group we'redealing with, uh,

the Faction...

is creating

more of those...

for a lack of a better term,
and I think they're doing it

at a medical research
facility in Idaho.

I need you to get in there.

[Velcro rips]

[chuckles]

What's your deal?

Are you a male witch

or a warlock or something?

[quietly]:
Oh, give me strength.

I am a Whitelighter.

Not a warlock.

And I don't see
how that's relevant

to the question at hand.

[chuckles]
You spend a lot of time

with Maggie and her sisters,

yet other than... stealing

my ring and
lurking about...

I don't really know
all that much about you.

What's important for you to knowis that my one and only role

is to protectthose three women.

And since you've become
a confidant to all of them,

and... potentially...

significant to one of them,

I will treat you with
the same care and respect.

Okay. [laughs]

'Cause every time
I've gone on one

of these missions, I've
almost died, so, you know...

What do you need me to do?

For this plan to work, you
would, in fact, need to be...

...dead.

You betrayed us.

We walkedinto a demon ambush.

You killed Alfie,

the de facto leader
of the Carnals,

which would be bad
enough on its own,

if Alfie wasn't also the
last male heir of his line,

creating a power vacuum.

Which means that every
Tom, Dick and Alfie

will be vying to take his place.

Not a good move.

What you've done
is laid a massive

political headache
at my doorstep.

They broke the truce.
You were supposed

to keep your side in line--
this is your failure.

Best put a sock in it,
Angry Spice,

before I send
a fireball your way.

Not if I turn you
into a popsicle first.

You are marked women.

The demons want your heads
on spikes and if you

continue vexing me, I might
be inclined to do just that.

Maybe we'll take yours first.

That's not a bad idea.

Oh, come on you, guys.
This isn't helping.

There has to be a way

we can repairthe situation.

Negotiating this truce wasin all of our best interests.

Negotiating with terrorists
never works, Maggie.

Demons can't be trusted.

For once, I agree
with Militant Molly.

Chit-chat won't fix this mess.

Demons respond
to fear and violence.

Well, that just means

that both sides up end dead.

Come on, there has
to be something

they want, something theyneed that we can exploit.

You do know that an all-out warwould be bad for you, too.

There might be one angle
we could work.

Let's just say I'm not
the only female demon

who chafes at
our patriarchal structure.

Okay, okay.

That was intense.
[exhales]

Oh, I mean I thought
that whole Marvel

time-space jumping was cool,
but my gut feels like

it's filled with... bees?

HARRY: Well, first time'salways the trickiest.

Some peoplethrow up.

Some people experience iton the other end.

And you didn't think to warn me?

As they say in the adverts,

"side effects may vary."

So, this is
our way in, huh?

Every other entrance is guarded

by magic detectives.

The only safe way in
is to have a body.

A dead body.

Which, uh, this potion
will approximate.

I'm not really gonna die?

It's a simple Romeo
and Juliet sleeping potion.

Okay, you are aware
that Romeo and Juliet

ended up, like...
really, really dead?

"O true apothecary!

"Thy drugs are quick.

"Thus with a kiss

I die."

They died by their own hand,
whereas this potion

temporarily slows the heart

and breathing.

You'll be in a gentleslumber for 30 minutes,

give or take--enough time for me

to look about the place.

Well, obviously,
it's not without some risk.

But... hmm?

It's cool, man.

Yeah, you really
do care about her.

Maggie.

To put yourselfin harm's way.

Not totally selfless, man.

There's still that curse
hovering over my family line.

Oh, of course.I simply meant

she's lucky to have youin her life.

I'm not totally sure I'm...

in her life.

As my aunt used to say,
timing is everything.

Too soon or too late,
you spoil the soup.

Right.

And how does one know...

if it's too late?

Hmm. And that, sir,

is the trillion-dollar
question.

All right.

Why not?

We were good together, Vera.

I-I do.

It's just, when I thinkabout telling Harry...

You know,we're finally friends again.

I-I don't want to mess that up.

Julian is damnnear perfect,

and yet it stillfeels so complicated.

If you're so broken up
about dating the perfect guy,

then maybe he isn't
so perfect for you.

Still no word
from Harry?

I haven't heard from him.

He left to go to check out thatclinic, but that was hours ago.

I'm sure he's safe.

He always is.

To the compound.

And enact privacy features.

God, I missed you, Jimmy.

How the hell did you get out?

Oh, you know.

I have my ways.

[laughs softly]

No, no...
