Charmed

Previously onCharmed...

I'm your cousin. Josefina Reyes?

Your mother abandoned the family in Puerto Rico,

and stole The Book of Shadows.

We are the Perfecti.

We constructed the Tomb of Chaos

to restore order to the magical world.

Anything deemed chaotic belongs in the Tomb.

You have power without humanity.

That is the ultimate chaos.

Put the Perfecti in the Tomb!

Hello, sister. I need Waverly's help

getting something from our mother.

A powerful artifact known as "The Blade of Clarity."

The only way for me to return Macy's firepower.

You traveled here from 2021?

Yes. MAGGIE: What happened?

Mel called it the "Whispering Evil."

It was a creature

without a form, a parasite

that required a human host.

It's been you.

Took you long enough.

We have about three weeks

to stop the Whispering Evil from devouring the entire world.

Tomb of Chaos.

This is no place for a pregnant lady.

Yeah, well, I am done

sitting on my butt, so if you guys have to come back

to this hellhole, I'm going with you.

This place needs an information desk.

One of those "You Are Here" mall directories.

Okay, if Harry's research is right, there should be

another door with Aladria's symbol somewhere close.

What the hell?

Hmm. Look what the cat dragged in.

Wait. So your cell looks like our command center?

We designed the Tomb,

so we get to choose how we want it to appear.

And I enjoy the illusion

I'm still somewhat in control of the world.

Look at me. I'm a powerful witch.

The Whispering Evil has taken over our friend Jordan.

We need to boot it out of his body.

And vanquish it before the sickness spreads.

Well

option one...

Let Mo and I out of here, and we'll handle it.

Not happening.

Option two.

The Whispering Evil doesn't last long

in the real world without a human host,

so, kill the host, kill the beast.

As in kill Jordan?

That's also not happening.

Leaving option three.

Separate the Whispering Evil from the host.

Now, this is much more complicated,

takes incredible power.

You do remember who we are?

Yes, but the Power of Three won't work by itself.

The Whispering Evil is adaptable

and resilient.

You're not the first group of Charmed Ones,

and once it's seen an attack...

It becomes resistant, the same way

bacteria eventually becomes resistant to antibiotics.

So you need to design

an attack that the Whispering Evil has never,

ever seen before.

My demon firepower

combined with the Power of Three.

My demon firepower... no Charmed Ones

have ever had it.

Not to be a downer, but you don't, either.

Yeah, but Abby's been trying to figure out how to give it back.

Yeah, trying is not succeeding,

and independent study time is over.

In the meantime, I will track down

the Jordening Evil, the...

Whispering Jordan, whatever the hell it's called.

I'm coming with. Uh, Harry can...

No. This is all hands on deck, and I've got hands,

puffy and sensitive as they are,

so I'm coming, and nothing can...

Mel?

What is it?

Nothing. It's just...

I don't know how magical pregnancies differ

from normal ones, but that looks a lot like...

A contraction. Yeah.

I think my baby

from the future

is coming right now.

These could just be Braxton-Hicks contractions,

a false alarm.

Hey, how far apart are they?

Uh, still nine minutes apart.

Until it's down to five, it's... it's not even an issue.

And then what?

You can't exactly walk into a hospital and say,

"Hey, I'm acting as a time-surrogate

for a magical baby."

Which is why I've done my research.

I think I found a spell to slow down my labor.

It's open!

Ruby's with her mother,

and-and the spell requires brujería,

so I've called in a reinforcement.

Morning, mi familia!

Who wants to not have a baby today?

Hi.Hey, cous.

How'd you get here so fast?

I kind of borrowed an extra witchboard marble when I left.

Don't worry.

We got this.

Just go make the future safe for my baby.

Okay. Take care of her.

I need you to be still, Swan.

Hey.

Any progress?

Uh, my healing powers... They're on the wane.

I'm not sure they would ever have been able

to cure this kind of ancient magic.

What is that?

My magic lines,

according to Celeste.

The last step of my transformation.

When it's gone...

So are your powers.

And my immortality.

The end of a journey.

Can you imagine a whole world of people sick like this?

Yeah, I saw it in action.

It wasn't a lot of fun.

Any luck tracking down Jordan?

I was in the gym, trying to get a vision

using Jordan's stuff, but nothing, so,

I thought maybe I could use something

more directly connected

to the Whispering Evil.

Really?

Do you have a better idea?

I do not.

So,

I'll lower the containment spell,

you hold Swan down, and then I'll try to get a vision.

Or you could just try putting your hand up

to the containment spell.

Yeah. Yeah, let's do that.

Nice Swan. That's good...

Nice Swan.

Your timing is perfect.

Waverly has agreed

to help me retrieve the Blade of Clarity.

The mother of the blade I used to extract your powers.

Waverly, this is Macy.

Macy, my sisterWaverly.

Now, Mommy keeps the blade at our childhood home in Sussex.

And since she's not likely to be suspicious of Waverly...

No, I'm not doing it.

What? We agreed.

No, you pressured, and I bent.

Mother was willing to sacrifice

my daughter simply to satisfy her vanity.

Imagine what she'll do when she realizes we're working together.

If she realizes.

The house in Sussex is her country place now.

She barely stays there anymore.

She'll find out.

She always does.

And then, she'll turn her wrath on me.

Look, Waverly, I understand we're asking you to take a risk,

but I need that demon power back now.

The future depends on it.

Yes, well, my daughter's future depends on me

staying uninvolved.

Come on, Waverly.

Just this once, I need you to step up for me.

I can't.You mean you won't.

I'm sorry.

I am, but I'm not going back there... ever.

Well, once again, it's you and me.

And my abusive, violent psychopath of a mother.

What do you see?

Does "Capitol Hill" mean anything to you?

As in D.C.?

No, that can't be right.

It was some sort of industrial place.

"Capitol Hill" is a water treatment plant?

Well, what better way to spread an infection

that works like a bacteria

than to put it in the water supply?

Take a whole city out at once.

Oh, my God, Harry, this is how it starts.

This is the beginning of the end.

Maggie, what are you doing?

Harry, my vision... It's happening.

We have to move now, or the Whispering Evil

will destroy the world... for good.
