Charmed

All right!

Give it up for Smash Mouth!

Let's hear it, come on!

Hangin' Chad, coming back live at the KQSF Annual Beach Bash.

Winding it up with our special guest,

the stunningly beautiful, Phoebe Halliwell

of "Ask Phoebe" fame.

Okay, so, what's your deal?

Are you psychic, is that it?

-I'm sorry? -I mean you gotta be, don't you?

Your column has skyrocketed,

all the critics rave about how amazingly insightful your advice is.

How else do you explain it?

I just think I read people really well.

Oh, you do, do you?

Can you read me?

I don't know. Write a letter and we'll see.

Come on, give it a shot.

You guys wanna see her do it, don't you?

All right, all right.

What do you want advice on?

Okay, let's see.

There's this woman that I like, and I'd like to ask her out.

But I'm afraid she'll say no. What should I do?

Well, why don't you just ask me and find out?

Hey, are you out of your mind?

What are you doing here?

Freyja sent me.

She wants to know what's taking so long.

Freyja?

For a mythical character, she sure does worry a lot.

She's not the only one who's worried.

He's an elder, Chris.

How much longer do you really expect us to keep him?

Don't tell me he's complaining.

Yes, a lot actually.

I don't believe it! Banish the guy to an island

filled with beautiful women and he still complains.

-I can't win. -How much longer?

Until I'm ready.

I'm sorry, but I haven't finished what I came here to do yet.

And I need Leo out of the way until I can.

More importantly, the sisters can't find him before I'm ready.

-Or else... -I know.

We all understand the risks.

I'd never hurt you, Mist.

-You know that. -You would if you had to.

I know that too.

Chris, are you up there?

You better go.

Please. Hurry.

Hey, do you have any laundry?

No, no. I'm good, thanks.

I'm gonna get your sisters. We have another demon to vanquish.

Okey-dokey.

Hi. I'm sorry if I embarrassed you back there.

-I'm glad it was on the radio. -I don't know why I answered like that.

-It was... -It was dead on, that's what it was.

It was exactly what I was feeling. Nervous about asking you out.

Really? You were?

Well, then maybe I should ask you out and just take the pressure off.

I just don't know what's the matter with me.

It's gotta be the heat or something.

-Bayview Café, say, 1:00? -I'll be there.

Phoebe.

Chris, what are you doing here?

Listen, I gotta get back.

-Don't be late. -I won't be.

Trok demon. Remember?

-Chris, get a life. -Come on.

Stop! Stop!

Sit! Heel!

Stop!

I gotta get a real job.

Trok demon?

What now? Can't you see I'm working?

All right, can we get this started because I have to go...

Where did they come from?

He wouldn't let me take them back first.

-Back? -Yeah, I'm a...

...dog walker.

The temp agency messed up.

Do you mind? We have to summon the demon while he's still on our plane.

-Piper! -Oh, Chris, lighten up.

Sending us after all these demons is getting to be a real drag.

-Yeah, you're working us like dogs. -I don't see Piper complaining.

No, because Piper doesn't complain about anything anymore.

Ever since Leo left to become an elder,

all she does is walk around the house all chipper.

-So? -So it's unusual.

What's worse, it's not Piper.

I'd love to have a play date.

Maybe we can call Jennie and she can bring baby Josie.

And then I'll bring the juice and maybe bake some muffins, and...

Oh, how cute.

Okay?

-She's getting worse. -Definitely.

-Do you have a spell? -Right out of the Book .

After you summon him, make sure Piper freezes him.

Otherwise you'll never get the spell off.

Take these guys to the attic, they'll be fine there.

-Wait. Me? -Yeah, you. Go.

-Alrighty, are we ready? -Alrighty.

Phoebe, have I told you how much I love your new 'do, it's fabulous!

Very chipper. Okay, let's do this.

You take this.

Piper, freeze him!

What did you do that for?

I don't know. I didn't mean to.

"From other worlds far and near

Let's get him the Trok out of here"

Everybody okay?

Yeah. That was awesome.

What kind of whitelighter can't heal?

-For the record, you can't heal either. -I'm half whitelighter.

How come you didn't tell us this before we hired you?

Because you didn't hire me. I was assigned by the elders.

Any other little surprises you'd like to share with us?

No.

Look, I haven't been a whitelighter very long, okay?

And healing, it's big.

-And takes a while to learn how to do. -Great, student-lighter.

You could have told us about this, like, I don't know, maybe a month ago?

Well, I know one thing for sure.

We're gonna stop all this demon-fighting for a while.

Wait. Why?

Can somebody please fold the towels in the dryer when it's done?

That's why.

I put a casserole in the oven. You can check it in about an hour or so.

I will be at the club if you need me. Have fun.

Oh, my God. She is so sad.

Sad? Where are you getting sad from?

How about this? Three more demons, then we can talk about taking a break.

Do you have a quota or something?

I've told you this before.

I know from future knowledge that a demon is gonna come after Wyatt.

These are all just pre-emptive strikes.

Okay. Look, Chris, we like you a lot.

But we've been doing this a lot longer than you have.

Trust me, you have to pace yourself and you gotta let us have a life.

Speaking of which, I have to go get ready for my lunch date.

Oh, I didn't know your boss was back in town.

No, it's not with Jason.

It's with Chad, the DJ, who I'm not really interested in.

Two demons. How about that? Two?

No, Chris, and especially not until we figure out what's wrong with Piper.

And more importantly, Piper's powers.

I swear, I think Leo did something to her before he left.

You know what? I think it's about time we orb him down here and ask him.

-I don't think that's possible. -Well, then make it possible.

Even if he doesn't care about Piper as his wife,

as an elder, he at the least should care about what happened to her powers.

-I can't. -Yeah, you can.

You just go up there and tell him to get his butt back down here.

That's not why I can't.

I didn't wanna tell you this because I didn't wanna worry you two but...

Leo's missing.

-What? -Missing? How long?

Since the last time we saw him.

Anyways, the elders think he's been... kidnapped.

By whom?

Go! Go!

They got Kruger!

Who?

What the...?

It's all right. You don't have to be afraid.

You're one of the chosen few.

Don't worry.

I promise you'll understand soon enough.

-You're amazing, Piper. -Sorry?

I mean, seriously, I don't know how you do it.

I mean, I could barely take care of myself

when little Darryl was a baby, let alone run a daycare.

Well, you know, nobody was using the club during the day anyway,

and I was running out of room at home with all of Wyatt's play dates.

Well, I think it's great.

Really, I mean, especially with everything you're going through.

What?

Sheila's been a little concerned about you lately.

You know, with Leo and all.

I can't even imagine how hard it must be for you.

Do you ever even talk to him?

Oh, no. It's probably against the rules.

But, you know, no use crying over spilt milk.

And besides, you know, I just gotta push ahead for Wyatt.

Well, better get these treats to the little ones.

Is Darryl Jr. staying late?

-Yeah. -Yeah, yeah.

Super.

Hey, guys, have fun. Coming through.

I gotta get back to the station.

-Hi, guys. -Hey.

-Hi. -What's the matter?

-Sorry? -Something's bothering you, I can tell.

-Phoebe? -What?

Oh, sorry.

So, you know, Piper's doing fine, huh?

Yeah, but you don't think she is.

Don't mind her, she's just being a little annoying.

Would you excuse us for a second?
