Previously on Charmed...

What is going on?

Have you had any weird residual side effects?

Like what?

Images of worms...

No.

If I do what you ask,

will you leave me alone?

"Marisol wants you to know

what you're looking for is between the sheets"?

How does she know about Mom?

You want to try on my ring?

You're pretty obsessed with this thing.

Maggie, wait.

I can see why my loser brother was so taken with you.

Parker is not a loser.

He's decent and kind.

Exactly.

Don't talk about Harry. Aw.

He's special to you, isn't he?

But I think you like me better.

You'll never be enough for her.

Again.

Not bad. You're pushing me hard.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, right?

Ali. I'm impressed.

So, uh, we gonna talk about the elevator incident?

Thought we were pretty talked out.

You, uh,

tried on my ring on, and then, and then ran away, Maggie.

Commitment spooks me.

Okay.

I give.

Oh, make sure you're not dropping your shoulder

during your cross.

Leaves you vulnerable.

Right, yeah, wouldn't

want to be vulnerable.

Wha...

Uh...

Wh-What is that? Is that a cloning serum?

Sorting through these old potions seems to be paying off.

Do you think he's really gone?

The darklighter?

It would seem so.

Yeah.

You-you must be relieved.

Are you?

Uh...

I got it.

Good morning, visionaries.

Change your thoughts, change your world.

Vegan breakfast taquito?

Oh, no.

I'm good, Swan. Kat's store is closed,

and I haven't seen her in a while.

Any idea when she might be back?

I heard she had some kind of...

Vegan breakfast taquito?

Thank you. Some kind of what?

Breakdown.

Oh.

Apparently she kept on seeing worms everywhere.

Worms?

Yeah.

Word is, she's not coming back.

Stealing someone's sweat?

Feels like an invasion of privacy or something.

A necessary one.

According to The Book of Elders,

this spell could reveal what magic is present

in any given person or creature.

What if I'm blowing this whole thing out of proportion?

Maybe there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.

For Jordan's magical ring that gave you new powers? And a vision of him in danger.

But, Maggie,

you said you couldn't tell if he was good or bad.

And if we have an enemy in our midst,

we need to know.

All right. You ready?

Yeah.

Ostende verum tuum.

Symbols. Write them down.

Let me see.

Here.

What's it say?

Jordan is cursed...

by the dying breath of a witch.

Why would a witch curse Jordan

unless he'd done something really horrible?

I don't believe it.

He seems like such a decent man.

How could I be so wrong about him?

Well, sometimes emotions cloud our judgment.

Well, we need to get to the bottom of this

before something terrible happens.

Sacred Grove.

What are those lines?

Ley lines. Ley what?

Naturally-occurring

supernatural currents.

They intersect at great sources of power,

like Stonehenge, Bermuda Triangle, and the Sacred Grove.

Which is under the jurisdiction of the Elders.

Or was.

I'll explain when we get there,

but we need to go now.

Sorry, we're closed.

Yes, I saw the sign.

I'm a friend of Katrina's.

I was hoping you could tell me where she is.

Actually, I'll take that.

What did you say your name was?

Mel.

I'm Amita. Kat's mother.

Kat's not well.

Can I talk to her?

I-I think I could be helpful.

Are you a doctor, Mel? If not, I think you should

mind your own business.

Mel?

I told you to wait outside, Kitty.

Kat, can I have five minutes?

Please. I already told you...

It's okay, Ma.

Five minutes.

So, why is the grove sacred?

Somewhere here, there's a hallowed tree,

the fruit of which provides temporary immunity

from all things magical.

Dangerous in the wrong hands.

Guess we should stock up while we're here.

The fruit is not ours to take.

This land belongs to the dryads.

Peaceful creatures.

They live in harmony with nature.

Oh, no. The tree.

It's dead. Worthless.

The grove was under the protection of Whitelighters.

But they're all gone now.

A-And so if someone had stolen some of that fruit?

They'd be unstoppable.

Over here.

Her wounds are severe.

Are you all right?

Who, who are you?

Uh, we're witches. You're safe.

What happened here?

I sensed that the dryads were in danger.

I came here to help.

You're a telepath?

When I got here, there were

a dozen demons.

Carnals and Malignants

working together, taking what doesn't belong to them.

And the dryads?

The dryads.

They're all dead.

Petrified.

Carnals and Malignants working together.

Can't imagine who's behind that.

Abigael.

Susan, you talented woman.

Abigael...

You could at least knock.

Apologies, ladies.

We need to talk.

Excuse us, Susan...

and Susan.

For the tenth time, I didn't destroy

any sacred tree or take any damned fruit.

God, you're worse than Greenpeace.

What, and we're supposed to take your word for it?

After all we've been through, you don't trust me?

Harold,

tell them how close we've gotten

after our little adventure.

I'm starting to think we'd be better off

without you altogether.

Ooh, someone's getting rough.

Perhaps your time with the darklighter paid off.

Maybe it did. Macy, we need her.

I'm touched.

And much as I'd love one of your damn apples,

I'm not the lucky bastard you're after.

Who is, then?

You won't believe me.

won't.

What are you talking about?

It's not me you want.

It's him.

Imitare absconditum!

All hail...

the Overlord!
