(sobbing)

(whimpers)

(panting)

We lost.

HARRY: No.

Not yet.

HARRY: Mm.

Grief is the only thing strong enough to free

the memories Inara's little spell locked away.

Negative or painful thoughts light up

more parts of the brain than happy ones.

What are you doing with all of that food?

When Inara used the Unity Bowl to remake the world,

I was in a realm that shielded me

from its effects.

Not a lot to eat there.

Mmm, delicious.

Mmm.

How long have you been like this?

How long has the world been like this?

Uh, eight months?

Well, maybe a year.

I stopped counting after a while.

A year?! Well...

Well, what took you so long? We have to fix it.

I had to know it could be fixed

before I chanced waking you or your sisters.

Okay. Okay, so what do we do?

Not we.

You.

And your sisters.

Inara can sense me when I'm in this realm.

I don't know how, but every second I'm here is a risk.

So you're bailing on us?

No, never.

I'm working on something, something that might help,

but... well, it's complicated.

And I've stayed too long already.

No, no, no, no, no. (stammers)

You can't leave right now...

I have to.

I'll watch your backs as best I can.

But it's up to you now.

Wake Mel and Maggie. Find a way to set things right.

And hurry.

It's only a matter of time before Inara realizes

you've regained your memories.

And then all is lost.

But Harry, I...

Kaela... you can do this.

MEL: Kaela?

MAGGIE: We're home!

(door closes)

(grunts)

KAELA: I know.

Just breathe and slow down.

It takes a minute for the fog to lift.

Inara killed Chloe's sister.

And all the others.

She stole the world's memories.

Brainwashed everyone.

She put us all under a spell.

All because we couldn't stop her.

KAELA: Yeah.

But we will.

What I can't figure out is

why she stuck me in the mailroom.

And why did she make me a janitor?

And... what are you exactly?

I don't know, magical DoorDasher?

She's keeping tabs on us.

Great, then we'll use it to our advantage.

Get close to her and then--

Mel?

My powers, they aren't working.

Mine, either.

Nope.

And I could really use a drink right now.

(sighs)

Inara must have stripped them.

MEL: Great.

So we are the only beings without powers

in a completely magical world.

Yeah, except for all the humans, but...

I don't think they can be much help taking down Inara.

Wait, have you guys seen any humans around?

Yeah, I mean, I'm sure I have.

I can't think of any right now, but...

I mean, we must've, right?

Well, I've been all around the world for the past

who-knows-how-long, and I can't remember seeing a single one.

I'm calling my parents.

A gemcast?

Well, I guess, I guess I can't call them.

BOTH: Ray.

Ray!

(knocking)

It's us. Open up.

Ray!

Anybody home?

Please be here. Please be here.

Mags, look.

Maybe he left in a hurry?

Without his keys

or... wallet?

I don't like this.

(nearby rumbling)

Any luck with Brynn or your parents? No.

Nobody was home, but, um...

I found these.

They were hanging on a rosebush by the front door.

My mom never takes her rings off.

I need to get some air.

(exhales)

KAELA: What's that?

It's Ray's mug.

He always did love to have his coffee in the backyard.

Where'd you go, Ray?

Guys?

What's wrong?

What if Ray didn't go anywhere?

What if none of them did?

Because... because they couldn't, because...

...they were turned into something else?

No. No, no.

This isn't happening.

This cannot be happening.

It already did.

Months ago.

Are you saying that...

these plants and trees around us are actually...

...all the humans?

I don't even know where to start trying to fix this.

MAGGIE: I do.

I'd steal Inara's powers...

reverse things, bring everyone back.

But without my powers, that's impossible.

KAELA: No.

You know what I thought was impossible?

My art coming to life.

Being able to instantly portal anywhere on Earth.

Loving two weirdos as my sisters.

Loss has a way of making you forget who you are.

When Dev died, it caught me sideways.

I ran away.

I gave up, but not this time.

Okay, as long as we are still breathing,

anything is possible.

I mean, we're the Charmed Ones, damn it.

We were the Charmed Ones.

We were.

And then we weren't.

And then we were.

Oh, my God, Mel...

...you're a genius.

This isn't the first time we've lost our powers.

Okay, great, so what did you do to get them back?

Black amber. The sap of a sacred tree.

The lifeblood of all magic.

Right, where do we get this black amber stuff?

MAGGIE: Black amber collects in a basin under the sacred tree.

MEL: Which is only accessible through the command center.

And Inara has put a fancy new lock on the switchroom door.

It's called a blood hex.

It's a very strong form of protective magic.

I'm not sure how we can get through that.

What about the Skeleton Key Spell?

That could work, but we need a drop of Inara's blood.

(laughs) Hold up, how the hell are we supposed to get her blood

without blowing our cover or-or being blown away?

MEL: We'd need someone in her inner circle.

Someone who can get close.

MAGGIE: Someone we can trust.

KAELA: We also need him to get us the blood without being seen.

MAGGIE: Leave that to me.

Can I help you?

(chuckles)

Come on, come on.

KAELA: How's it going with the potion ingredients?

Any luck?

No. My potion stash,

all of my ingredients, gone.

Tell me you found something.

Nothing magical.

The attic's cleaned out.

She must've taken everything.

She even took my cauldron.

That was my baby.

I spent the last three years seasoning it

like a cast iron pan.

Pots and pans.

Hmm?

Back in Philly, some of our clients

at the shop couldn't afford to fix everything

their cars needed, so we had to get creative.

Here.

A crockpot?

Well, we don't need a shiny new car.

We just need something that runs.

And there's nothing that says we

can't make our own rosewater.

(clicks tongue) Exactly.

Okay.

What else do we need?

(exhales)

MAGGIE: I know, I get it.

It's a lot.

(groans)

God. (groans softly)

(sniffles)

Everybody...

Everybody's dead.

(crying)

Hey, hey.

Hey, easy.

It's all right.

How the hell is it all right?

Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, come here, take a seat.

Trust me, trust me.

Okay, hey.

Just breathe. In through the nose...

(inhales deeply)

(inhales) Two, three.

Out through the mouth. (exhales)

(exhales)

Two, three, four.

That's right.

Hey, I know.

I know it's horrible and it's overwhelming.

But we have a plan...

to fix everything.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, I used to be the calm one,

walking you through the panic attacks.

I'm glad I can finally return the favor.

So... (sniffles)

Uh...

...what's this plan of yours?

Well, let's just say it's a good thing

you're her... sharpest assistant.

You know, I used to have this recurring dream as a child

that one day I would be wealthy enough or powerful enough

that I could open a kind of orphanage

for every magical being that didn't have parents.

And they would have a home and a place...

Ah.

How's my world today, Jordan?

Perfect. As always.

Oh.

Oh, excuse me.

Uh, the Big Island menehune have requested an audience,

as have the Siberian rusalka.

And here's an offer of tribute from the elven community.

Oh.

(tray clatters)

Oh!

I am so sorry.

I don't know how that happened.

(exhales) And here I thought

boxers are supposed to be good with their hands.

(Jordan chuckles)

Yeah, right? I mean, of all people,

you wouldn't think I'd be a butterfinger.

INARA: Mm.

Uh, here. Let me.

(magical whirring)

(inhales)

There.

Good as new. (chuckles)

Huh.

Um,

do you need anything else?

No. Thank you.

Good as new. (laughing)

(whispers): I'm just gonna...

(magical whirring)

MAGGIE: Thank you, Abigael.

INARA: Jordan?

(Jordan grunts)

You know, it turns out

I do need something after all.

Anything.

I need to know how you got your memory back.

I...

I-I don't know what you're...

INARA: Well,

you shouldn't have any memory of being a boxer.

(Jordan grunts)

(Jordan panting)

So, if you remember boxing, that begs the question...

what else do you remember?

(Jordan grunting)

I'm going to get you to talk.

The longer you wait, the more painful it will be.

(electricity zaps)

(Jordan screams)

(brew bubbling)

(chuckles softly)

Listen to that baby purr.

I can't believe we managed to scrape it all together.

Did you get it?

Yeah.

But Inara got Jordan. Took him to the command center.

What?

(sighs)

MAGGIE: I know.

Thank God we have this spell to get Jordan

and the black amber.

(brew hisses)

What's next?

The last ingredient is desire.

The reason we want to pass through the door.

To restore our powers.

And put things back the way they were.

(whispers): Okay.

Okay.

Craft a key to locks secure,

through any door, the way assured.

(brew hisses)

Huh?

That's not gonna open any locks.

(Jordan grunting)

How long have you been like this?

How did you regain your memory?

(Jordan gasping)

If you don't answer me, I've got no use for you.

Did someone help you wake up?

(grunts) Yeah.

You did.

By making such a mess of the world.

I can't believe I didn't snap out of it sooner.

(gasping)

If there is something wrong with my world,

you're gonna help me fix it.

You guys must've messed something up.

Why are you using a Crock-Pot, anyway?

MEL: Because we had to improvise

every part of the spell.

MAGGIE: Oh, great.

So while Jordan and I were out risking our lives,

you two were here going off recipe?

Smidge of this, dash of that?

Well, maybe

you could have done it better if you hadn't spent

all day getting one ingredient.

Guys.

MAGGIE: Oh, let me

just run to the store and grab a couple pints of demigod blood.

Guys! Hey.

(Mel exhales)

Last time I checked,

Inara was still the bad guy.

(sighs) We're doing it, aren't we?

We're turning against each other

like Inara and her sisters did.

KAELA: Yes.

We don't want to end up like them.

(whispers): No.

Maybe it wasn't the spell that we got wrong.

Maybe it was our desire.

What do you mean? (chuckles)

I want the world to go back to how it was.

The Unseen? The Tallyman?

Fear and helplessness spreading like a disease?

Things were kind of a mess.

Right.

So what do we want?

We can't go back to the way things were.

We have to make it better.

For everyone.

I'm in.

Me, too.

(whispers): All right.

(sighs)

Right. (sighs)

ALL: Craft a key to locks secure,

through any door, the way assured.

(brew hisses)

(magical whirring)

(all chuckle)

INARA: But why would anyone

want to remember what it was like before?

I've created a world where magical creatures

are finally free, equal...

Lobotomized.

Watch it.

People feel safe here.

Because you wiped their memories

without their consent.

Let's not even talk about the humans.

You've seen what humans do to those who are different.

Coexistence was never on the table.

You wouldn't know

'cause you never gave them a chance.

Just like your sisters didn't give you one.

I am nothing like them.

Don't you judge me!

I'm not.

I'm not.

I think the grief of what your sisters did has consumed you.

I get it.

But I also think you know this is all wrong.

You have all the power here. Why not fix things?

Bring everyone back.

Make a utopia for every...

I can't

undo this.

What?

Even if I wanted to.

The nine, the Unity Bowl, it was a onetime deal.

No.

What's done is done.

JORDAN: It can't be reversed?

But...

But that can't be.

What are you not telling me?

What are you hiding?

No. No.

Oh!

(exhales)

Or should I say who?

(exhales) No. Inara, wait.

No.

Alligatum est!

(glass breaks)

(panting)

JORDAN: Inara!

(chimes)

Inara, wait! Please.

No! Inara, wait!

Harry.

Harry.

What are you doing back here?

Inara. She's onto you, and she's coming.

We have to get out of here.

Grab on. Hurry.

(magical whirring)

(screams)

MEL: What is this place?

Our last hope.

Your plan won't work.

Inara can't bring humans back,

so stealing her powers gets you nowhere.

What? How could you possibly know that?

One of the few perks of this wretched place:

in addition to VHS copies of every possible past,

I can also look in on the present.

(static crackling)

Got to wiggle it.

(groans) Yeah.

Who the hell is she?

Oh, that's just Diana.

Now, don't mind me. Just grabbing a snack.

(Harry groans)

Come on, you piece of...

(exhales) I'm sorry.

You never know when the volume's gonna work.

Oh, God. Jordan.

What is she doing to him?

Nothing good.

All the more reason to restore your powers and fast.

If Inara can't fix this, how can we?

Time travel.

What?

We've done it before. Why can't we do it again?

We could end up in medieval times

or-or-or getting eaten by dinosaurs.

MEL: For the record, I've worked out

the kinks since your trip to the '20s.

But it's still a no-go.

We need to know exactly when and where to go.

And that's where I come in.

I found something

while Jordan was singing at Dev's memorial.

Do we really have to watch this again?

I'm afraid so. Please, just watch.

All right. Right here

as he hits the high note.

(snaps fingers)

But it's just...

Static.

Exactly.

I believe it's a pivot point.

A what?

A point in time where history can be fundamentally changed.

In that one moment, the future remains unwritten.

Well, how do you know?

HARRY: I don't.

Not for sure. Hence the "last hope."

Look, I have watched thousands of these tapes,

and they all end the same way

except this one. I don't believe

that's a coincidence.

MEL: If you're right,

then this may work.

But we'd have to go back to that precise moment.

Oh, uh, we can't just go back a little further,

like... before Dev died?

Macy.

Oh, believe me,

those tapes were the first I checked.

I watched you save Dev and Macy in a hundred different ways.

And they all ended badly.

I wish we could bring them back.

But I'm afraid this is it.

Our one chance.

Then we'll take it.

HARRY: You just need

to find a way to get Inara out of the command center.

No easy task, now that she's onto us.
