HOTEL.ROYAL SUITE.DAY
[Chris is sleeping peacefully as Maya stares at him lovingly but also guiltily. The sheets that they are laying under, are very nice. Of good quality.]
Maya: Oh. Chris. As much I do love this new you. It's just not the same. I chose the Phoenix Witch life. Can't be weak like Bianca. Must abide orders.
[He wakes up, smiling in joy.]
Chris: That was some night. Maya. I never felt so free. It's so nice to be rid of my inhibitions and fear.
Maya: I'm glad you're okay with that. But what about your family. About this new attitude. And lifestyle.
Chris: I'm a grown man. Can do whatever I want. Than let my parents and family control what I do.
Maya: If they find out the truth, you know what happens.
Chris: I know. They will try to get me to come my senses. But no. Nothing will change my opinion. It's tiring being overlooked to Wyatt all these years.
Maya: Do you really think that? Or is it Olivius' influence. From what I heard, he can be very persuasive.
Chris: Yes I do. And stop pestering me about it.
Maya: Wow. Maybe it is his influence. You're starting to act a bit like him too.
Chris: No! I'm not!
[Chris then looks horrified that he just raised his tone with Maya.]
Maya: Chris. This is not the man I fell for. I'll see you later when you come back to your senses.
[She SHIMMERS out.]
Chris: Maya!
[He sighs and goes to lie on the bed.]

[Wyatt, Melinda, Leo, and Arika are eating breakfast in the room, a quarter done with their plates, and sipping on their orange juices, as Piper returns, looking a bit annoyed on the house phone.]
Piper (on phone sounding annoyed): Look son. This is the twentieth voicemail I sent. You didn't come home last night. Come on. Chris. Pick up.
[She then slams in back on the holder. The others look over.]
Wyatt: No luck? Mom?
Piper: Nope. This is just... Can't believe he's back to his old habits during the time when trying to get over Bianca. Really that my son could be back to normal again.
Wyatt: Bianca really meant a lot to him. I think Chris is just trying to find the right one.
Piper: Even though. At least give us a call that he's okay.
[Arika notices some tension and so tries to interrupt.]
Arika: Such great food. Mrs. Halliwell.
[Piper then takes a seat.]
Piper: Thanks. Arika. But you can call me mom. Now. After all, you're part of the family now.
Arika: Alright. It's weird. But I'll try it. Mom.
Piper: There we go.
Leo: Anyway. Let's enjoy this delicious breakfast and worry about what's going with Chris later.
Piper: Yes. I'll worry about my rebellious son later.
Melinda: Let's keep eating.

[Roxy is with Greg, standing outside.]
Greg: Are you sure about this? Sis.
Roxy: I have to make her pay for controlling me like that. What better way than attacking her family.
Greg: This is a bad idea. Sister. If you hurt one of them, the others will come after you.
Roxy: I don't really care. Must make her pay.
Greg: I don't like where this is going. But you're my sister and the only family I have left. So I'll help you either way.
[She rings the doorbell. Surprisingly no answers the door.]
Roxy: Hmm. No one is home.
Greg: Thank goodness.
Roxy: What you say?
Greg: Oh nothing. Sister.
Roxy: No matter. I know other places where they could be. PJ made me her spy. And thanks to that. I have advantage on the ins and out. Now. Bad move on her part.

PJ: Hey. Parker. Peyton. It's been a while since we had something like this.
Parker: Yea. A sisters' day out.
Peyton: So what's up? Something must be urgent if you want to meet with both of us.
PJ: I was hoping for dad too. But ever since mom is gone. He still needs to sort out things at The Bay Mirror. They haven't found a replacement for mom yet either.
Parker: So spit it out.
PJ: I need some time away from the family. To think about things. After what I did as the Source of Evil. And also Dark Queen. And don't worry. You all can contact me. I doubt Olivius is going to try to capture me again.
Parker: Are you sure about this?
Peyton: What if there's a chance we may need you. And for some reason. You're preoccupied.
PJ: I'll try my best if I sense if any of you guys in trouble okay?
Parker: Okay.
Peyton: And now. What about P3?
PJ: I was manipulated. It doesn't belong to me anymore.
Parker: Don't worry. We'll find a way. To get it back.
Peyton: Yea. One day.
PJ: Hopefully. I should have never let my desires get the best of me.
Parker: Stop blaming yourself for it.
Peyton: Things happen.
Parker: How about we order something to eat?
PJ: Sounds good. I think I have time before my flight later today.
Parker: Aw. Leaving so soon.
PJ: Yea. It's needed.
Peyton: We'll miss you.
PJ: I'll try to call but not too much. This would be a good break.
Parker: Alright. Let's order.
[Parker raises her hand and a waitress comes over.]
Waitress: Hello. There. How may I help you all?
PJ: Right. Of course. I'll have an orange juice. A plate of blueberry pancakes, with eggs and bacon.
[She writes the order.]
Parker: Just our usual. We have seen you often.
Waitress: Got it.
[It is written down.]
PJ: Thank you.
Waitress: Alright. Gals. I'll have it ready as soon as possible.
[The waitress then heads back into the kitchen.]
PJ: So? We talked enough about me. What about you two?
Parker: Well. Peyton was in a love triangle between a vampire sister and brother. And now isn't.
Peyton: And Parker got unknowingly seduced by two warlocks.
PJ: Oh wow. Warlocks. And vampires.
Parker: Yea. The luck. I don't know if I'm ever going find a true love like I had with Adrian. I might as well give up.
PJ: Don't say things like that. Mom thought the same too and found dad.
Peyton: Yea.
Parker: But now not the time for love. I need to keep working. Especially those loans on law studies.
PJ: Understandable.
[They begin to chat among each other catching up.]

HALLIWELL MANOR.CHRIS' BEDROOM.DAY
[Chris is packing up his clothes into a luggage. Piper is there.]
Piper: Are you sure about this? Chris. I had the same idea too back then. Wanting my own life and everything.
Chris: It's decided. It's time for me to be on my own. And not keep dealing with being the shadow under Wyatt all of time.
Piper: You still think that? Chris? Thought that phase was over.
Chris: It was never. Just pushed back. Mom.
Piper: Please rethink this. Chris.
Chris: I'm going to rethink this anymore. So lay off!
[Piper gasps and her eyes are in shock of how Chris just went off on her.]
Piper: Really? Son. You neveract towards me in that tone. What really happened last night? When you didn't come home?
Chris: It's none of your business. Mom. I'm a grown man. Not a little boy anymore.
Piper: You'll always be my little boy. Chris. What the heck is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?
Chris: I'm not acting like anything. Just being my true self.
Piper: Man. You're starting to sound like PJ when she was evil.
Chris: There it is. Being compared. I'm tired of this. Want to be my own person. This family. I wish I was an only child.
[She gasps again.]
Piper: Chris. You don't mean that.
Chris: Maybe I do. Mom.
Piper: Chris. This breaks my heart hearing you say that.
Chris: Boo hoo. Like that affects me.
Piper: Come on. Son. Really. What is wrong with you? Did a demon cast a spell on you?
Chris: Nothing is wrong. Mom. I just had a realization. That maybe I'm not meant to be part of this family.
Piper: Chris. Come to your senses.
Chris: And I am of sense. Mom. Please lay off.
[Chris finishes up and closes the luggage. And then grabs it ready to head out of his room.]
Piper: Chris. Don't go. We need to talk about this more. Something is up with you. I can feel it. Mother's intuition.
Chris: Enough! Mom. There's no convincing. Goodbye for now. I'll come back for my other stuff later.
[He heads out of the room with his luggage. Piper breaks into tears.]
Piper: Son. My Chris. He's gone!
[Piper continues to cry, more tears falling, feeling the heartbreak of how her son is now. The camera moves away as it...]

Samuel: Sorry. I don't know. You're saying you know Parker. Got any proof? Pictures?
Glamoured Roxy: I left it at home.
Samuel: Nice excuse. If you don't have proof, get out of here and let me assist real customers.

Roxy: Don't speak of his name! Ever!
Greg: You let your vengeance get the best of you. And we had to leave that city.

Chris: Thank you. Olivius. For allowing for it be kept in the family.
Vincent: It's Vincent here. Chris.
Chris: Yes. Vincent.
Vincent: Also. Doesn't it feel nice to truly own something? Than share the fame with that brother of yours.
Chris: Yes. It is.
Vincent: So. Are you going to tell your family about this new ownership?
Chris: Nah. Why would I need to? I'm trying to be independent now. Why the need to impress them.
Vincent: That's right. For years I tried to prove myself to my older brother. And now he's gone. And I am the most powerful one now.
Chris: And soon I will be too. Vincent. It was part of the deal that if I accepted to become the new manager of P3. I must be stronger than Wyatt.
Vincent: In due time. Chris. There's no rush. It took me years to get where I am.
Chris: But I want power! Now!
Vincent: Oh Chris. You remind of my old self. So proud. You know. I always wanted an heir. You could be perfect.
Chris: It would be nice. I was never reared as important as Wyatt. The great Twice-Blessed Witch. What am I? Chopped liver?
Vincent: Yes I agree. My dear brother had a prophecy. He was meant to be part of the triad. And they focus on training him than me. But it wasn't enough. And was killed by the Charmed Ones. Your mother, and your aunts.
Chris: Besides my family. I'm worried about Maya. She doesn't accept the current me.
Vincent: Don't worry about that. I'll know how to convince her.
Chris: Would you really? Vincent.
Vincent: Of course. Chris. Anything for you. We are one and the same. It's in my interests to help you be happy.
Chris: Thank you. Vincent.
Vincent: And you start tomorrow. As the new owner of P3. I had it closed down today. And put a sign. There. To show that it was under new management.
Chris: Now what?
Vincent: We celebrate. Or more like. You and Maya.
[With a slight wave of the hand. Maya immediately is summoned in.]
Maya: What the. I was in the middle of searching for a bounty.
Vincent: Turn around.
Maya: Why?
Vincent: Just turn. You'll find out.
Maya: Fine.
[She turns around and is surprised to see Chris.]
Chris: Hi. Maya. I missed you.
Maya: What are you doing here?
Chris: Doing business. I need to get a job. And Vincent provided me a good offer.
Maya: Are you serious? Can't trust him.
Vincent: Well. That hurts.
Maya: I don't care. All I want is the old Chris back.
Chris: That's not happening. I like this new me. Accept it or else.
Maya: Or else what? You'll find another one to manipulate just like him. I have heard of how he works.
Chris: Why would I think of manipulating? Maya. I love you.
Maya: If you do. Then fight whatever is making you act like this.
Chris: I don't want to fight it. Maya. Never felt so free in my whole life. No pressure.
Maya: Then maybe this will change your mind.
[Maya grabs him for a passionate kiss. He reciprocates and feels a weird breeze around him, and feeling the spell dissipate. A golden light now surrounds the body and finally comes back to himself and breaks away.]

Maya: It's alright.
Vincent: I'm not losing control of him yet.
Maya: I'm not letting you control him again.
[She readies her energy ball to fire. Vincent waves his hand and now the room freezes leaving only him unfrozen.]
Vincent: I did not count on this woman being so resistant. Chris desires Maya. And vice versa. To have him. There must be control over both of them. A difficult task but I always love a challenge.
[He then waves his hand again and the two are teleported out to an unknown location.]
Vincent (cont'd): And now back to business.

Chris: Dang. We already went this way.
Maya: This place is an endless maze.
Chris: And both our powers don't work here.
Maya: What is his plan?
Chris: I guess kill us as he couldn't control us. By making sure we can't escape this room.
Maya: I doubt it. Olivius planned so much to manipulate you to be like him.
Chris: Yea. He's smarter than that.
Maya: Mazes always have an escape route. We'll find it.
Chris: Just need to retrace our steps. Carefully but too carefully.
Maya: Yea. Could end up walking in circles again.

Chris: Yes. I... No. Must resist.
Demon (cont'd): Don't resist your inner desires. You know you want it.
Chris: Yes I want it.

Vincent: Now Chris. What are your ideals?
Chris: It is one and the same with you. Master. That our brothers are horrible. And we crave power to be better than them.
Vincent: That's good to hear. My boy. Yes.
Maya: So what are your orders? Master.
Vincent: Do the usual. Chris. Maya. In the real world that is done.

Belphas: Oh yea. Are you sure? I heard news going around that this place hasn't been the same since the original Editor-in-Chief, Phoebe Halliwell, passed away. And this place has been struggling lately.
Coop: I don't know about this. Besides never heard of you before.
Belphas: I'm a freelancer. Trust this story will do great things. Please open the file.
Coop: Alright.
[Coop then brings the file open to him and is shocked.]
Belphas: What a surprise? Huh?
Coop: How do you get this information? Not many freelancers are that good.
Belphas: I'm just gifted.
Coop: There's no way I'm posting this. You know this is going to hurt some people.
Belphas: It's the news. That's what it meant to do. To reveal the drama. And keep people interested.
Coop: I'm not doing this. Find another one besides this one.
Belphas: Come on. This news will save the Bay Mirror.
Coop: And in turn. Ruin my family dynamic.
Belphas: Yea. But isn't the Bay Mirror your wife's legacy. Would you rather save it or your family?
Coop: I.... Give me some time. It's a difficult decision.
Belphas: Keep the file. I'll give you till the next morning. If you don't, I'm going to another company and you won't get a chance to save this place.
Coop: Understood.
Belphas: Have a good day. Mr. Halliwell.

Parker: That's great. You finally found someone you love.
Peyton: You will too again. Parker. Don't give up.
Parker: I know. It's really hard to trust people after my experiences. My latest conquests were two warlocks.
Peyton: I mean. It's not as bad as I was. Was in love with two vampires.
Parker: I think you still are. It's just you don't want to admit it and was forced to choose one.
Peyton (denying): No I don't.
Parker: Sometimes you talk in your sleep. And mumble her name.
Peyton: I admit. Yes. But Katherine is my past. And Lachlan my present. I have grown to love him.
Parker: Do you really love him? Or are you scared to be with Katherine again because of your past with her.
Peyton: I.... Don't know. You know what. For someone who wants to take a break of love. You're sure really on a love train right now.
Parker: That's not it. I just want the best thing for you. And make sure you're really happy.
Peyton: I truly love Lachlan. And Katherine is in my past.
[Coop then enters looking flustered and sighs heavily sitting down. His daughters sense something is up.]
Parker: What's up? Dad?
Peyton: Something bothering you?
Coop: It's nothing. I don't want to get you two involved.
Parker: Come on. Dad. You can tell us.
Peyton: Maybe we can help.
Coop: Someone came providing a story about Chris. About him taking over P3.
Parker/Peyton (surprised): What?!
Coop: Yea I know. Why would he do this?
Parker: Actually Aunt Piper called me today after Peyton and I had breakfast with PJ. Something is off about Chris. He just decided to leave the house and was acting really rude with her and saying how not wanting to be under Wyatt's shadow anymore.
Coop: That is strange.
Parker: Yea. Sure when they were teenagers.
Peyton: But I thought that would be over by now.
Coop: Yea something is up.
Parker: Either he is possessed or someone put a spell on him.
Peyton: Yea.
Coop: So anyways. Back to what I'm worried about. This story.
Parker: It shouldn't be posted.
Peyton: It's kind of unethical to post a story about a family member.
Coop: Considering if I did. It would ruin The Bay Mirror's reputation. But it's really struggling right now. If we don't find a good story, there's a chance of it closing down.
Parker: Don't give up hope. Dad.
Peyton: The Bay Mirror will be back to its former glory one day.
Coop: Thanks. Girls. You're the best.
Peyton: Anyways. I have to go get ready. Figure out what to wear for today's date with Lachlan.
[Peyton walks off heading towards the stairway.]
Parker: And I got to do some brainstorming. Maybe some new recipes might bring more inflow to the bakery.
[Parker heads off walking towards the kitchen.]
Coop: They are right. It's wrong. I can't betray my family like this. If Phoebe was here, she wouldn't approve this story. And I wouldn't either.
[Coop walks out of the living room also.]

[Chris is sleeping peacefully as Maya stares at him lovingly but also guiltily. The sheets that they are laying under, are very nice. Of good quality.]
Maya: Oh. Chris. As much I do love this new you. It's just not the same. I chose the Phoenix Witch life. Can't be weak like Bianca. Must abide orders.
[He wakes up, smiling in joy.]
Chris: That was some night. Maya. I never felt so free. It's so nice to be rid of my inhibitions and fear.
Maya: I'm glad you're okay with that. But what about your family. About this new attitude. And lifestyle.
Chris: I'm a grown man. Can do whatever I want. Than let my parents and family control what I do.
Maya: If they find out the truth, you know what happens.
Chris: I know. They will try to get me to come my senses. But no. Nothing will change my opinion. It's tiring being overlooked to Wyatt all these years.
Maya: Do you really think that? Or is it Olivius' influence. From what I heard, he can be very persuasive.
Chris: Yes I do. And stop pestering me about it.
Maya: Wow. Maybe it is his influence. You're starting to act a bit like him too.
Chris: No! I'm not!
[Chris then looks horrified that he just raised his tone with Maya.]
Maya: Chris. This is not the man I fell for. I'll see you later when you come back to your senses.

[She then slams in back on the holder. The others look over.]
Wyatt: No luck? Mom?
Piper: Nope. This is just... Can't believe he's back to his old habits during the time when trying to get over Bianca. Really that my son could be back to normal again.
Wyatt: Bianca really meant a lot to him. I think Chris is just trying to find the right one.
Piper: Even though. At least give us a call that he's okay.
[Arika notices some tension and so tries to interrupt.]
Arika: Such great food. Mrs. Halliwell.
[Piper then takes a seat.]
Piper: Thanks. Arika. But you can call me mom. Now. After all, you're part of the family now.

Roxy: I don't really care. Must make her pay.
Greg: I don't like where this is going. But you're my sister and the only family I have left. So I'll help you either way.
[She rings the doorbell. Surprisingly no answers the door.]
Roxy: Hmm. No one is home.
Greg: Thank goodness.
Roxy: What you say?

Parker: Yea. A sisters' day out.
Peyton: So what's up? Something must be urgent if you want to meet with both of us.
PJ: I was hoping for dad too. But ever since mom is gone. He still needs to sort out things at The Bay Mirror. They haven't found a replacement for mom yet either.
Parker: So spit it out.
PJ: I need some time away from the family. To think about things. After what I did as the Source of Evil. And also Dark Queen. And don't worry. You all can contact me. I doubt Olivius is going to try to capture me again.
Parker: Are you sure about this?
Peyton: What if there's a chance we may need you. And for some reason. You're preoccupied.
PJ: I'll try my best if I sense if any of you guys in trouble okay?
Parker: Okay.
Peyton: And now. What about P3?
PJ: I was manipulated. It doesn't belong to me anymore.
Parker: Don't worry. We'll find a way. To get it back.
Peyton: Yea. One day.
PJ: Hopefully. I should have never let my desires get the best of me.
Parker: Stop blaming yourself for it.
Peyton: Things happen.
Parker: How about we order something to eat?
PJ: Sounds good. I think I have time before my flight later today.
Parker: Aw. Leaving so soon.
PJ: Yea. It's needed.
Peyton: We'll miss you.
PJ: I'll try to call but not too much. This would be a good break.
Parker: Alright. Let's order.

PJ: Right. Of course. I'll have an orange juice. A plate of blueberry pancakes, with eggs and bacon.

Parker: Just our usual. We have seen you often.
Waitress: Got it.
[It is written down.]
PJ: Thank you.
Waitress: Alright. Gals. I'll have it ready as soon as possible.
[The waitress then heads back into the kitchen.]
PJ: So? We talked enough about me. What about you two?
Parker: Well. Peyton was in a love triangle between a vampire sister and brother. And now isn't.
Peyton: And Parker got unknowingly seduced by two warlocks.
PJ: Oh wow. Warlocks. And vampires.
Parker: Yea. The luck. I don't know if I'm ever going find a true love like I had with Adrian. I might as well give up.
PJ: Don't say things like that. Mom thought the same too and found dad.

Piper: You still think that? Chris? Thought that phase was over.
Chris: It was never. Just pushed back. Mom.
Piper: Please rethink this. Chris.
Chris: I'm going to rethink this anymore. So lay off!
[Piper gasps and her eyes are in shock of how Chris just went off on her.]
Piper: Really? Son. You neveract towards me in that tone. What really happened last night? When you didn't come home?
Chris: It's none of your business. Mom. I'm a grown man. Not a little boy anymore.
Piper: You'll always be my little boy. Chris. What the heck is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?
Chris: I'm not acting like anything. Just being my true self.
Piper: Man. You're starting to sound like PJ when she was evil.
Chris: There it is. Being compared. I'm tired of this. Want to be my own person. This family. I wish I was an only child.
[She gasps again.]
Piper: Chris. You don't mean that.
Chris: Maybe I do. Mom.
Piper: Chris. This breaks my heart hearing you say that.
Chris: Boo hoo. Like that affects me.
Piper: Come on. Son. Really. What is wrong with you? Did a demon cast a spell on you?
Chris: Nothing is wrong. Mom. I just had a realization. That maybe I'm not meant to be part of this family.
Piper: Chris. Come to your senses.
Chris: And I am of sense. Mom. Please lay off.
[Chris finishes up and closes the luggage. And then grabs it ready to head out of his room.]
Piper: Chris. Don't go. We need to talk about this more. Something is up with you. I can feel it. Mother's intuition.

Vincent: It's Vincent here. Chris.
Chris: Yes. Vincent.
Vincent: Also. Doesn't it feel nice to truly own something? Than share the fame with that brother of yours.
Chris: Yes. It is.
Vincent: So. Are you going to tell your family about this new ownership?
Chris: Nah. Why would I need to? I'm trying to be independent now. Why the need to impress them.
Vincent: That's right. For years I tried to prove myself to my older brother. And now he's gone. And I am the most powerful one now.
Chris: And soon I will be too. Vincent. It was part of the deal that if I accepted to become the new manager of P3. I must be stronger than Wyatt.
Vincent: In due time. Chris. There's no rush. It took me years to get where I am.
Chris: But I want power! Now!
Vincent: Oh Chris. You remind of my old self. So proud. You know. I always wanted an heir. You could be perfect.
Chris: It would be nice. I was never reared as important as Wyatt. The great Twice-Blessed Witch. What am I? Chopped liver?
Vincent: Yes I agree. My dear brother had a prophecy. He was meant to be part of the triad. And they focus on training him than me. But it wasn't enough. And was killed by the Charmed Ones. Your mother, and your aunts.
Chris: Besides my family. I'm worried about Maya. She doesn't accept the current me.
Vincent: Don't worry about that. I'll know how to convince her.

Vincent: Of course. Chris. Anything for you. We are one and the same. It's in my interests to help you be happy.

Vincent: Turn around.

Chris: Hi. Maya. I missed you.
Maya: What are you doing here?
Chris: Doing business. I need to get a job. And Vincent provided me a good offer.
Maya: Are you serious? Can't trust him.
Vincent: Well. That hurts.
Maya: I don't care. All I want is the old Chris back.
Chris: That's not happening. I like this new me. Accept it or else.
Maya: Or else what? You'll find another one to manipulate just like him. I have heard of how he works.
Chris: Why would I think of manipulating? Maya. I love you.
Maya: If you do. Then fight whatever is making you act like this.
Chris: I don't want to fight it. Maya. Never felt so free in my whole life. No pressure.

Maya: I'm not letting you control him again.
[She readies her energy ball to fire. Vincent waves his hand and now the room freezes leaving only him unfrozen.]
Vincent: I did not count on this woman being so resistant. Chris desires Maya. And vice versa. To have him. There must be control over both of them. A difficult task but I always love a challenge.

Maya: What is his plan?
Chris: I guess kill us as he couldn't control us. By making sure we can't escape this room.
Maya: I doubt it. Olivius planned so much to manipulate you to be like him.
Chris: Yea. He's smarter than that.
Maya: Mazes always have an escape route. We'll find it.

Maya: Yea. Could end up walking in circles again.

PJ: Alright.
Dane: Let's grab our stuff.
PJ: Yea.
[PJ and Dane take off their seatbelts and head into the aisle opening their compartments, and grabbing luggage and bags. They two of them then head forward to exit out of the jet.]

THE BAY MIRROR.EDITOR-IN-CHIEF'S OFFICE.DAY
[Coop is with Belphas, who is dressed in business suit. There is a file on the table.]
Coop: You know. Mr. Rodkins. We're not looking for more stories.
Belphas: Oh yea. Are you sure? I heard news going around that this place hasn't been the same since the original Editor-in-Chief, Phoebe Halliwell, passed away. And this place has been struggling lately.
Coop: I don't know about this. Besides never heard of you before.
Belphas: I'm a freelancer. Trust this story will do great things. Please open the file.
Coop: Alright.
[Coop then brings the file open to him and is shocked.]
Belphas: What a surprise? Huh?
Coop: How do you get this information? Not many freelancers are that good.
Belphas: I'm just gifted.
Coop: There's no way I'm posting this. You know this is going to hurt some people.
Belphas: It's the news. That's what it meant to do. To reveal the drama. And keep people interested.
Coop: I'm not doing this. Find another one besides this one.
Belphas: Come on. This news will save the Bay Mirror.
Coop: And in turn. Ruin my family dynamic.
Belphas: Yea. But isn't the Bay Mirror your wife's legacy. Would you rather save it or your family?
Coop: I.... Give me some time. It's a difficult decision.
Belphas: Keep the file. I'll give you till the next morning. If you don't, I'm going to another company and you won't get a chance to save this place.
Coop: Understood.
Belphas: Have a good day. Mr. Halliwell.
Coop: You too. Mr. Rodkins. Do you need to be escorted?
Belphas: It's fine. I can escort myself out.
[Belphas heads out of the office. Coop looks back on the file.]
[ON FILE: Photos of Chris can be seen. And the Headline: Ex-Co-Owner of W & C Magazine, Chris Halliwell, decides to take reign over P3.]
[The camera moves away, the blurred images. It then...]
[FADE OUT TO BLACK.]

EIFFEL TOWER.NIGHT
[PJ is in a nice beautiful red dress and red heels, with a medium size black purse, and Dane in a nice black suit with black shoes. They are taking a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower. And the phone is put away in her purse.]
PJ: This is amazing. My love. The city of love.
Dane: It's too bad. Nowadays. We can't climb up there.
PJ: Yea.
Dane: And it's time for the surprise.
PJ: Another one?
Dane: Here goes. You're ready?
PJ: Yep.
[Dane gets down on his knees and takes a black box out of his pocket. PJ gasps after seeing the box.]
Dane: My darling. Prudence Johnna Halliwell. Would you do the honor and marry me?
[He opens the box revealing a pink diamond ring.]
PJ: Yes. Of course. I will. Dane.
[Dane then puts the ring onto PJ's finger and then stands up. The tourists and citizens notice, and cheer.]
Dane: I'm so happy now.
PJ: Me too. My love. Now I get to be with you forever.
Dane: Let's go celebrate this moment in our hotel room. I already asked the staff to set up something special.
PJ: So you knew I would accept?
Dane: I was hoping. My love.
PJ: Aw. Dane. I can't wait to live the rest of my life with you as a wife.
Dane: And I your future husband.
[The two kiss each other passionately. And then walk off.]

[Parker is chatting with Peyton.]
Parker: Sorry about what happened to Valentina. Don't worry. She'll forgive you eventually.
Peyton: Yea. It's going to be so awkward seeing her in class. And we're going to be all weird with each other. And I just don't want our classmates to think something is up.
Parker: Ah I see. At least try.
Peyton: Yea. But anyways. At least I still have Lachlan. He invited me for dinner tonight at Rizzolio's.
Parker: That's amazing. He is able to book this place.
Peyton: Well. Besides being a hot vampire and boyfriend. He's a successful nightclub owner.
Parker: That's great. You finally found someone you love.
Peyton: You will too again. Parker. Don't give up.
Parker: I know. It's really hard to trust people after my experiences. My latest conquests were two warlocks.
Peyton: I mean. It's not as bad as I was. Was in love with two vampires.
Parker: I think you still are. It's just you don't want to admit it and was forced to choose one.
Peyton (denying): No I don't.
Parker: Sometimes you talk in your sleep. And mumble her name.
Peyton: I admit. Yes. But Katherine is my past. And Lachlan my present. I have grown to love him.
Parker: Do you really love him? Or are you scared to be with Katherine again because of your past with her.
Peyton: I.... Don't know. You know what. For someone who wants to take a break of love. You're sure really on a love train right now.
Parker: That's not it. I just want the best thing for you. And make sure you're really happy.
Peyton: I truly love Lachlan. And Katherine is in my past.
[Coop then enters looking flustered and sighs heavily sitting down. His daughters sense something is up.]
Parker: What's up? Dad?
Peyton: Something bothering you?
Coop: It's nothing. I don't want to get you two involved.
Parker: Come on. Dad. You can tell us.
Peyton: Maybe we can help.
Coop: Someone came providing a story about Chris. About him taking over P3.
Parker/Peyton (surprised): What?!
Coop: Yea I know. Why would he do this?
Parker: Actually Aunt Piper called me today after Peyton and I had breakfast with PJ. Something is off about Chris. He just decided to leave the house and was acting really rude with her and saying how not wanting to be under Wyatt's shadow anymore.
Coop: That is strange.
Parker: Yea. Sure when they were teenagers.
Peyton: But I thought that would be over by now.
Coop: Yea something is up.
Parker: Either he is possessed or someone put a spell on him.
Peyton: Yea.
Coop: So anyways. Back to what I'm worried about. This story.
Parker: It shouldn't be posted.
Peyton: It's kind of unethical to post a story about a family member.
Coop: Considering if I did. It would ruin The Bay Mirror's reputation. But it's really struggling right now. If we don't find a good story, there's a chance of it closing down.
Parker: Don't give up hope. Dad.
Peyton: The Bay Mirror will be back to its former glory one day.
Coop: Thanks. Girls. You're the best.
Peyton: Anyways. I have to go get ready. Figure out what to wear for today's date with Lachlan.
[Peyton walks off heading towards the stairway.]
Parker: And I got to do some brainstorming. Maybe some new recipes might bring more inflow to the bakery.
[Parker heads off walking towards the kitchen.]
Coop: They are right. It's wrong. I can't betray my family like this. If Phoebe was here, she wouldn't approve this story. And I wouldn't either.
[Coop walks out of the living room also.]

[Chris is wearing a formal crimson colored suit, his hair is pushed back a bit, as he looks at himself in the mirror, feeling proud.]
Chris: Yes. Very nice. So comfortable. And I'm so fancy.
[Vincent then steps in, his appearance now in the mirror also. ]
Vincent: Ooh. My old suit fits you well. My boy. Like it was meant to be.
Chris: I'm so ready for tomorrow. For my reign.
Vincent: So am I. My proud protégée.
Chris: And if you don't mind. Master. I want to enjoy myself more in this suit.
Vincent: Of course. Chris. I'll leave you be.
[He then walks out of the room and closes the door. Chris continues to admire his reflection even more in the mirror and then grins, with a sort of dark demeanor.]
Chris: I will show true control. The wonderful Vin.. Uh. No. I'm Christopher Perry Halliwell. Chris is no more.
[His eyes glow a crimson red. And the suit also. It seem it has an enchantment on it. The camera pulls away from the reflection and it ...]
