This series details their journey in the new fight against demons and saving the the magical community as they face new dangers and new friends along their journey.
Charmed The Legacy Continues, takes place in the year 3100. Everything seems to be in peace in the city of San Francisco until trouble stirs with demon trouble as innocents become mysteriously killed.

As such, the Elders find three siblings that they deemed to be the next Charmed Ones to fight against the new evil.

[Reed then goes to touch the body on the neck and around the arms.]

Darakai: And what's that?
Chadwick: You were involved in the death of my parents.
Darakai: Oh my. What a false accusation. You got no proof.
Chadwick: I saw you.
Darakai: Oh. You were that boy who my demons were unable to catch. And of course I punished them for it.
Chadwick: Yes. Once I get out of here, you will be dead meat.
Darakai: I don't think you should be threatening me. Since I know where your sweet little girlfriend is.
Chadwick: Grr. Don't you dare hurt Yolanda!
Darakai: Oh. She's not hurt at all. Quite safe for now unless you try anything.
Chadwick: You'll pay for this. Darakai.
Darakai: Too bad you won't be able to do anything about it.
[Darakai then snaps his finger. A demon comes in with a tied up Yolanda that is muffled and screaming.]
Chadwick: You let her go!
Darakai: Get rid of her.
Demon: Yes master.
[The demon then chokes her death and she falls to the ground.]
Chadwick: Yolanda! No!
[Chadwick tries to wolf up but the silver hinders it.]
Darakai: Now. It's just you. Chadwick. My dear wolf boy.
[Darakai goes over to coddle his chin a bit with his hand.]
Chadwick: Take your filthy hand off me.

Arika: Sorry for the wait. I had an urgent meeting.
Kalia: It's alright. And also I want to thank your family for allowing us to stay over and reside here.
Artemis: Yea.
Arika: No need to thank. Come on. Kalia. You're my best friend and my only family back then til I found my father.
Kalia: So the thing we need to talk about is that Chadwick has been missing. He called my help as the Dark Falcon. But we were supposed to meet a few days day ago.
Artemis: And Kalia said he never came to the meeting place. Something is off.
Arika: So you think he could be kidnapped? I mean he's a werewolf for god's sake.
Kalia: A werewolf may be a powerful being but they have weaknesses.
Arika: Wait hold on. Like silver?
Kalia: Yea.
Arika: I thought that was a myth for werewolves.
Kalia: Nope. It's not. Artemis and I have befriended one at one point in time. And Chadwick and I used to work together. We had the same goal.
Artemis: And I told Kalia it was dangerous to go after the goal.
Kalia: And my Artemis was right. We nearly got killed.
Arika: Oh no.
Kalia: Yea. And my dad sacrificed himself once again to save us. And thus Darakai was destroyed or so I thought.
Arika: Darakai. The big bad demon that you faced most of your life during your Dark Falcon days.
Kalia: Yes. And my mother resents me and hasn't spoken to me for months now. Briella tries to her best to ask us to make up but you know how my mother. She's like me and I'm like her. Super stubborn.
Arika: I'm sorry about that. Why didn't you tell me? I could have comforted you.
Kalia: What could you have done? You were trapped in the underworld. There was no one to contact us. And I thought I lost you.
Arika: But you didn't. So what's the plan?
Kalia: I think we have to ask the Halliwells for help. That family has been very good at finding people in need. Or even beings.
Arika: Okay. I'll ask Wyatt to talk to his family about it.
Kalia: Thanks. And please stay safe.
Arika: I will.
Kalia: Now that situation is over with. I think it's time to catch up a bit. Tell me everything about your life here. And that hottie Wyatt you always talking about.
Artemis: While you two catch up, I actually have brunch plans with my family.
Kalia: Stay safe babe. I don't want anything to happen to you.
Artemis: I will.

Melinda: Man. So much better now but then I can't remember anything. And what was the girl talking about a critique on Halliwell's. I'm so confused.
Graham (o/s): Boss. It's me. Graham. May I come in?
Melinda: Oh Graham. Alright. I'll be right there.
[Melinda goes to open to the door and lets him in. Graham closes and locks the door and takes a seat. She gets back to her seat.]
Graham: So boss. I was wondering about solving the situation with that harsh critique of Halliwell's. It wasn't my words. Chef Benton is asking.
Melinda: Remind me. I had a long night yesterday.
Graham: Well you know. The infamous Felicia Quigley. The critique. Said that Halliwell's had no taste. And some wines did not compliment the food. And you were going to find her and give her a peace of your mind.]
Melinda: I did?
Graham: Yea. Are you okay? Boss?
Melinda: Just a bit of a hangover last night. That's all.
Graham: Well. Back to the question at hand. Did you do it?
Melinda: No idea. Everything has been a blur. I'll let you know if I remember I did something. For now, just get back to work and keep Halliwell's in tip top shape as it always should be.
Graham: Okay boss.
[Graham walks out of the door and closes it. Melinda goes to lock it and starts to think a bit.]
Melinda: It can't be. The one I was in bed was the infamous critic. Oh my goodness. I slept with the food critic. I better call her to solve things.
[Melinda goes to call her but it goes straight to voicemail.]
Felicia (on voicemail): Sorry. Felicia Quigley is not available right now. Just leave a message and your number I'll call back.
[It beeps. And Melinda starts to leave a voicemail.]

Darakai: Are you sure about that? I have people watching. What you did was just a fling. Melinda didn't remember anything.
Felicia: But she will. It will only be a matter of time. Blackouts from drinking too much can recover.
Darakai: I hope so. Well. Felicia. Just keep doing what you do. Keep enchanting that Halliwell. Make sure Melinda falls deeply in love with you.
Felicia: Yes boss. As you wish.
[Felicia BLACK ORBS out.]

Chadwick: Yes master.

Graham: Whoa there. Boss. That was a close one.
Melinda: Sorry. Graham. I wasn't watching where I was going.
Graham: And are you okay? You look a bit distracted when you accidentally bumped into me.
Melinda: I don't know. Graham. I guess what happened last night really threw me off today.
Graham: Boss. I suggest you should go home till you're in a better mind set. The rest of us and myself can handle things here.
Melinda: Are you sure? Graham. I mean I don't have to go home. I could stay in the office.
Graham: It's up to you. Boss.
Melinda: You're right. Graham. Sorry for what happened. Keep up the good work. Maybe I should have not try to walk around.
Graham: Yea maybe. Could we hurry up this talk? I got work to do.

[Melinda finally arrives at her office and notices Felicia standing by the door.]
Melinda: Felicia.
Felicia: Hey babe. I got your message.
Melinda: Babe. Huh. This is really weird. Last time I been called that was... ugh. It's too painful to think about.
[She starts to frown and tear up.]
Felicia: I'm sorry about that. You really liked it when I called you it last night.
Melinda: I did?
Felicia: Yea. I guess you still don't remember much.
Melinda: Yea. How about we head inside my office to talk more? I don't any unsuspecting employees to see us and gossip things that are not true.
Felicia: Yea. Wouldn't want that. It's your honor. After all, you're the one with the key.
Melinda: Oh yes. Sorry.
[Melinda takes her key out and opens the door to the office and lets Felicia walk in. She then follows her behind and closes the door and also locks it.]

HALLIWELL'S.THE OFFICE.DAY
[The lights are turned on automatically. Melinda walks in and gives the signal for Felicia to sit down.]
Melinda: Please take a seat.
[She then goes to her seat.]
Felicia: I will. Thank you.
[Felicia takes a seat.]
Melinda: Now we can talk freely as we want here.
Felicia: Great. So what's so urgent? You seem really serious in that voicemail.
Melinda: I just to want to clarify things. Get the whole story.
Felicia: On what?
Melinda: Of what happened last night.
Felicia: Ah. I already told you what happened. You were really drunk and vented everything out to me.
Melinda: Like what? Last night has been a blur.
Felicia: Horrible things. Like calling me a snob. And my palette is so fancy that I didn't know a tasty meal is and great wine.
Melinda: I'm so sorry. About that. Really didn't mean all that stuff.
Felicia: I know you didn't. Ba...Oops. Melinda. Sorry slip of the tongue. But it was still hurtful like I felt like I didn't know how to do my job.
Melinda: Again. I'm sorry. Wish I could remember something. To clear this up.
Felicia: Let's try something else. How about you try remembering something before blacking out and everything being a blur. Maybe it could help trigger something.
Melinda: Hmm. That may be a good idea. Let me try to think back.
Felicia: I got all the time I need. Being a food critic gives a bit of a flexible schedule but sometimes hectic.
Melinda: Okay. So it was a few days after I ended things with my ex due to her moving much far away. And long distance relationships were pretty hard. I thought I could move on but I couldn't. And then....
Felicia: Let me guess. That's the reason maybe you focused on that and forgot about work and didn't make sure the food was alright and the wine chose was complimented with the right foods. And so on.
Melinda: Maybe. Yes. I was an idiot. Guess it was my own fault.
Felicia: It's okay. Melinda. People make mistakes. Tell me more.
Melinda: Then the day before Christmas. I saw the review. With my emotions kind of out of sorts. It triggered me. I was irritated. And it made me want to find you and settle things but again you had a lot of calls coming in.
Felicia: Yea. Being an infamous food critic can be really demanding. Everyone wants you.
Melinda: And that was then I decided I should cool down and was overreacting. And I thought having a few drinks would calm me down.
Felicia: And of course it didn't. Once you saw my face, you went for it all of the way.
Melinda: Yes. And after that arguing, I don't remember anything else.
Felicia: Are you sure? Melinda.
Melinda: Yea. That's all I remember.
Felicia: Maybe this will jog your memory.
[Felicia gives Melinda a passionate on the lips. And it all comes back to her and her body staggers a bit.]
Melinda: Whoa. That was a rush.
Felicia: Well. I think it's time for me to go. Give you some time to process all that.
[Felicia starts to leave but Melinda pulls her back.]
Melinda: Wait. Don't leave. That rush reminded me of how much my body wants you.
[Melinda grabs Felicia in closer. Her heart beating heavily.]
Felicia: Melinda. We can't. Our relationship. Cannot be.
Melinda: It's because what could happen after this could affect your critique on my restaurant. And it could ruin your reputation if word got out that you get entangled with people and allow them to influence your decisions.
Felicia: That's not it. Melinda. It's something else. I have to go. Really.
[Felicia pushes Melinda away and heads out of the office.]
Melinda (to herself): Man. What is wrong with me? I just ended things with Alina a while ago and now I'm falling in love again. This can't.... No. I can't. Love is the reason why I had the bad critic. I have to focus. Make mom and dad proud.
[She takes a breath and starts to focus and try to figure out how make sure the food and wine is at its best and goes to ponder.]
[CUT TO]
HALLIWELL'S.PARKING LOT.DAY
[Felicia is now outside. She feels a bit disgusted and is brushing off with her hands on every part of her body and clothing.]
Felicia ( to herself): Ugh. Being that close proximity of that whitelighter-witch was disgusting. I can't believe she was that close. But I must do this for Darakrai. It's the only way evil will rule.
[She then checks the area to make sure it is clear and BLACK ORBS out.
[GO TO COMMERCIAL BREAK]

PJ: Stop. Mel.That's enough. I'll call you a cab home.
Melinda: Giv...it. to...me. I want more.
[She grabs it back and takes another shot.]
PJ: No. Mel.As I said. Stop. Or you want me to call security to escort you out.
Melinda: Fine. I'll stop. And I can call my own cab.
[Melinda walks very staggerly and gets ready to hand out but can barely keep her balance and nearly falls each time.]
PJ: Oh Mel. You are really Aunt Piper's daughter. Really stubborn.

Felicia: Hey watch it! Woman.
Melinda: I been trying to contact you but I get no answer. We need to talk.
Felicia: I'm a busy woman. And I don't think we should talk considering your state right now. Come on. I'll give you a ride home.
[Felicia takes her hand gently. Melinda pushes it away forcefully.]
Melinda: Take your hands off me! You snobby critic! How dare you ridicule my restaurant like that? It's my family's legacy, my dear mom!
Felicia: Look here. I'll let that comment that slide considering you are not saying what you mean. Now calm down. We'll talk some other time when you are feeling better.
Melinda: I want to talk NOW! Miss fancy pants. Miss think you know everything about food and wine. And how it should be. Look here. Halliwell's has many great reviews over the years and then you came in.
Felicia: As I said. You are not saying what you mean. Let me take you home. And sober you up.
Melinda: No. I won't. I don't need to. I'm not that drunk.
[Melinda falls off balance a bit but Felicia catches her. She then feels a weird attraction to her and then kisses her. Felicia gets into it but pushes her away.]
Felicia: What's your problem? You can't do that to try and get a good review from me?
Melinda: That's not it. Actually. I feel a weird unexplainable attraction to you and want to just love you.
Felicia: I don't know about this.
Melinda: If you do this, I'll let you give me a ride and let you sober me up.
Felicia: Deal. And strangely. I'm feeling the same too. Come here.
[Melinda and Felicia start to succumb to each other and start making out passionately and then move towards to the bathroom.]

P3.PARKING LOT.NIGHT (LATER)
[Melinda and Felicia are now in Felicia's car continuing to make out and only their tank tops and shorts are on. They pause for a bit.]

Piper: I would have managed.
Chris: You're not getting any younger. Mom. No offense.
Piper: Hey. When someone says "No Offense", it means "offense."
Chris: Sorry. Mom. I didn't mean it that way.
[Chris then turns off the stove and pours the mashed potatoes into a nice bowl.]

FELICIA'S APARTMENT.BEDROOM.DAY
[Felicia is on her laptop doing research on Melinda. She is on the page of the info profile and reads it.]
Felicia (reading): Hmm. Melinda Halliwell. Manager. Studied at UC Berkeley majoring in Business Management. Has years of experience during her college years co-managing Halliwell's with part- time with owners, Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt.
Felicia (cont'd): This gives me nothing. There has to be something else to investigate her some more and find her weaknesses.
[Lucius has been spying on her for a while and then reveals himself.]
Lucius: Boo!
[Felicia is shocked and Apparates her crossbow pointing it at Lucius.]
Felicia: Oh it's you. Don't scare me like that.
Lucius: Why not? It's fun. You react the same way every time. Super hilarious.
Felicia: I'm not in the mood for your jokes. So how long have you been spying on me?
Lucius: Not too long. Just enough to see you are upset in finding nothing that can used to do something to that witch.
Felicia: Did Darakai sent you here to spy on me?
Lucius: Maybe. And maybe no.
Felicia: Cut to the chase. Lucius. Stop beating around the bushes.
Lucius: Fine. Yes I was sent here to spy on you. But not Darakai.
Felicia: Knew it. But who?
Lucius: Wouldn't you like to know?
Felicia: Ugh. You're starting to get on my nerves. Again. I am in no mood.
Lucius: Sorry. That information is confidential. If I say anything, I get killed.
Felicia: That's funny. I thought you were never afraid of death.
Lucius: Yes. But this instance I am. And you should be too. If you fail this mission, you know what happens.
Felicia: I know. My life is over too. But not like it matters. My sole goal to end whitelighters and all like that. Like that Melinda Halliwell.
Lucius: Yes. But you failed too. Remember. Two years ago. You fell in love like a sick puppy. And when she found out who you really are. That woman wanted nothing from you.
Felicia: It's not going to happen with Melinda. I promise you. I felt so disgusted touching her that night and just a while ago.
Lucius: We'll see what happens. I'll check on you later.
[Lucius SHIMMERS out with red eyes glowing as he leaves. Felicia then starts think back as voices from her past, of her ex calling her a monster after seeing firsthand what she did. She shuts it way and ignores it.]

Bounty Demon: Well. I had worked with Vicus before. It's not him. I'm thinking maybe it's his son.
Darakai: Son? Hmm. Interesting. Who knew? That Vicus would have his own spawn to continue his legacy.
Bounty Demon: What do you want me to do? Another someone getting involved with Felicia is bad for you.
Darakai: Figure out a way to draw them to those witches. Their mothers vanquished the father. Possible their kids may vanquish the son.
Bounty Demon: Yes boss. But first...
Darakai: Oh yes. Your payment.

Arika: Sorry for the wait. I had an urgent meeting.
Kalia: It's alright. And also I want to thank your family for allowing us to stay over and reside here.
Artemis: Yea.
Arika: No need to thank. Come on. Kalia. You're my best friend and my only family back then til I found my father.
Kalia: So the thing we need to talk about is that Chadwick has been missing. He called my help as the Dark Falcon. But we were supposed to meet a few days day ago.
Artemis: And Kalia said he never came to the meeting place. Something is off.
Arika: So you think he could be kidnapped? I mean he's a werewolf for god's sake.
Kalia: A werewolf may be a powerful being but they have weaknesses.
Arika: Wait hold on. Like silver?
Kalia: Yea.
Arika: I thought that was a myth for werewolves.
Kalia: Nope. It's not. Artemis and I have befriended one at one point in time. And Chadwick and I used to work together. We had the same goal.
Artemis: And I told Kalia it was dangerous to go after the goal.
Kalia: And my Artemis was right. We nearly got killed.
Arika: Oh no.
Kalia: Yea. And my dad sacrificed himself once again to save us. And thus Darakai was destroyed or so I thought.
Arika: Darakai. The big bad demon that you faced most of your life during your Dark Falcon days.
Kalia: Yes. And my mother resents me and hasn't spoken to me for months now. Briella tries to her best to ask us to make up but you know how my mother. She's like me and I'm like her. Super stubborn.
Arika: I'm sorry about that. Why didn't you tell me? I could have comforted you.
Kalia: What could you have done? You were trapped in the underworld. There was no one to contact us. And I thought I lost you.
Arika: But you didn't. So what's the plan?
Kalia: I think we have to ask the Halliwells for help. That family has been very good at finding people in need. Or even beings.
Arika: Okay. I'll ask Wyatt to talk to his family about it.
Kalia: Thanks. And please stay safe.
Arika: I will.
Kalia: Now that situation is over with. I think it's time to catch up a bit. Tell me everything about your life here. And that hottie Wyatt you always talking about.

Melinda: Oh Graham. Alright. I'll be right there.
[Melinda goes to open to the door and lets him in. Graham closes and locks the door and takes a seat. She gets back to her seat.]
Graham: So boss. I was wondering about solving the situation with that harsh critique of Halliwell's. It wasn't my words. Chef Benton is asking.
Melinda: Remind me. I had a long night yesterday.
Graham: Well you know. The infamous Felicia Quigley. The critique. Said that Halliwell's had no taste. And some wines did not compliment the food. And you were going to find her and give her a peace of your mind.]
Melinda: I did?
Graham: Yea. Are you okay? Boss?
Melinda: Just a bit of a hangover last night. That's all.
Graham: Well. Back to the question at hand. Did you do it?
Melinda: No idea. Everything has been a blur. I'll let you know if I remember I did something. For now, just get back to work and keep Halliwell's in tip top shape as it always should be.
Graham: Okay boss.
[Graham walks out of the door and closes it. Melinda goes to lock it and starts to think a bit.]
Melinda: It can't be. The one I was in bed was the infamous critic. Oh my goodness. I slept with the food critic. I better call her to solve things.
[Melinda goes to call her but it goes straight to voicemail.]
Felicia (on voicemail): Sorry. Felicia Quigley is not available right now. Just leave a message and your number I'll call back.
[It beeps. And Melinda starts to leave a voicemail.]
Melinda: Hey Felicia. It's me. Melinda. I need to talk you urgently. Just head over to Halliwell's if you can. And ask for me.

Darakai: Are you sure about that? I have people watching. What you did was just a fling. Melinda didn't remember anything.

Chadwick: Yes Master.
Darakai: My task for you is to stay normal for now. I don't want the Halliwells to be suspicious of anything or any of your little friends. You will be contacted when I need you.
Chadwick: Yes master.

Graham: Whoa there. Boss. That was a close one.
Melinda: Sorry. Graham. I wasn't watching where I was going.
Graham: And are you okay? You look a bit distracted when you accidentally bumped into me.
Melinda: I don't know. Graham. I guess what happened last night really threw me off today.
Graham: Boss. I suggest you should go home till you're in a better mind set. The rest of us and myself can handle things here.
Melinda: Are you sure? Graham. I mean I don't have to go home. I could stay in the office.
Graham: It's up to you. Boss.

HALLIWELL'S.THE OFFICE.OUTSIDE THE DOOR.DAY
[Melinda finally arrives at her office and notices Felicia standing by the door.]
Melinda: Felicia.
Felicia: Hey babe. I got your message.
Melinda: Babe. Huh. This is really weird. Last time I been called that was... ugh. It's too painful to think about.
[She starts to frown and tear up.]
Felicia: I'm sorry about that. You really liked it when I called you it last night.
Melinda: I did?
Felicia: Yea. I guess you still don't remember much.
Melinda: Yea. How about we head inside my office to talk more? I don't any unsuspecting employees to see us and gossip things that are not true.
Felicia: Yea. Wouldn't want that. It's your honor. After all, you're the one with the key.
Melinda: Oh yes. Sorry.
[Melinda takes her key out and opens the door to the office and lets Felicia walk in. She then follows her behind and closes the door and also locks it.]
[CUT TO]
HALLIWELL'S.THE OFFICE.DAY
[The lights are turned on automatically. Melinda walks in and gives the signal for Felicia to sit down.]
Melinda: Please take a seat.
[She then goes to her seat.]
Felicia: I will. Thank you.
[Felicia takes a seat.]
Melinda: Now we can talk freely as we want here.
Felicia: Great. So what's so urgent? You seem really serious in that voicemail.
Melinda: I just to want to clarify things. Get the whole story.
Felicia: On what?
Melinda: Of what happened last night.
Felicia: Ah. I already told you what happened. You were really drunk and vented everything out to me.
Melinda: Like what? Last night has been a blur.
Felicia: Horrible things. Like calling me a snob. And my palette is so fancy that I didn't know a tasty meal is and great wine.
Melinda: I'm so sorry. About that. Really didn't mean all that stuff.
Felicia: I know you didn't. Ba...Oops. Melinda. Sorry slip of the tongue. But it was still hurtful like I felt like I didn't know how to do my job.
Melinda: Again. I'm sorry. Wish I could remember something. To clear this up.
Felicia: Let's try something else. How about you try remembering something before blacking out and everything being a blur. Maybe it could help trigger something.
Melinda: Hmm. That may be a good idea. Let me try to think back.
Felicia: I got all the time I need. Being a food critic gives a bit of a flexible schedule but sometimes hectic.
Melinda: Okay. So it was a few days after I ended things with my ex due to her moving much far away. And long distance relationships were pretty hard. I thought I could move on but I couldn't. And then....
Felicia: Let me guess. That's the reason maybe you focused on that and forgot about work and didn't make sure the food was alright and the wine chose was complimented with the right foods. And so on.
Melinda: Maybe. Yes. I was an idiot. Guess it was my own fault.
Felicia: It's okay. Melinda. People make mistakes. Tell me more.
Melinda: Then the day before Christmas. I saw the review. With my emotions kind of out of sorts. It triggered me. I was irritated. And it made me want to find you and settle things but again you had a lot of calls coming in.
Felicia: Yea. Being an infamous food critic can be really demanding. Everyone wants you.
Melinda: And that was then I decided I should cool down and was overreacting. And I thought having a few drinks would calm me down.
Felicia: And of course it didn't. Once you saw my face, you went for it all of the way.
Melinda: Yes. And after that arguing, I don't remember anything else.
Felicia: Are you sure? Melinda.
Melinda: Yea. That's all I remember.
Felicia: Maybe this will jog your memory.
[Felicia gives Melinda a passionate on the lips. And it all comes back to her and her body staggers a bit.]
Melinda: Whoa. That was a rush.
Felicia: Well. I think it's time for me to go. Give you some time to process all that.
[Felicia starts to leave but Melinda pulls her back.]
Melinda: Wait. Don't leave. That rush reminded me of how much my body wants you.
[Melinda grabs Felicia in closer. Her heart beating heavily.]
Felicia: Melinda. We can't. Our relationship. Cannot be.
Melinda: It's because what could happen after this could affect your critique on my restaurant. And it could ruin your reputation if word got out that you get entangled with people and allow them to influence your decisions.
Felicia: That's not it. Melinda. It's something else. I have to go. Really.
[Felicia pushes Melinda away and heads out of the office.]
Melinda (to herself): Man. What is wrong with me? I just ended things with Alina a while ago and now I'm falling in love again. This can't.... No. I can't. Love is the reason why I had the bad critic. I have to focus. Make mom and dad proud.
[She takes a breath and starts to focus and try to figure out how make sure the food and wine is at its best and goes to ponder.]
[CUT TO]
HALLIWELL'S.PARKING LOT.DAY
[Felicia is now outside. She feels a bit disgusted and is brushing off with her hands on every part of her body and clothing.]

PJ: No. Mel.As I said. Stop. Or you want me to call security to escort you out.

Melinda: I been trying to contact you but I get no answer. We need to talk.
Felicia: I'm a busy woman. And I don't think we should talk considering your state right now. Come on. I'll give you a ride home.
[Felicia takes her hand gently. Melinda pushes it away forcefully.]
Melinda: Take your hands off me! You snobby critic! How dare you ridicule my restaurant like that? It's my family's legacy, my dear mom!
Felicia: Look here. I'll let that comment that slide considering you are not saying what you mean. Now calm down. We'll talk some other time when you are feeling better.
Melinda: I want to talk NOW! Miss fancy pants. Miss think you know everything about food and wine. And how it should be. Look here. Halliwell's has many great reviews over the years and then you came in.
Felicia: As I said. You are not saying what you mean. Let me take you home. And sober you up.
Melinda: No. I won't. I don't need to. I'm not that drunk.
[Melinda falls off balance a bit but Felicia catches her. She then feels a weird attraction to her and then kisses her. Felicia gets into it but pushes her away.]
Felicia: What's your problem? You can't do that to try and get a good review from me?
Melinda: That's not it. Actually. I feel a weird unexplainable attraction to you and want to just love you.
Felicia: I don't know about this.
Melinda: If you do this, I'll let you give me a ride and let you sober me up.
Felicia: Deal. And strangely. I'm feeling the same too. Come here.
[Melinda and Felicia start to succumb to each other and start making out passionately and then move towards to the bathroom.]

[Lucius has been spying on her for a while and then reveals himself.]
Lucius: Boo!
[Felicia is shocked and Apparates her crossbow pointing it at Lucius.]
Felicia: Oh it's you. Don't scare me like that.
Lucius: Why not? It's fun. You react the same way every time. Super hilarious.
Felicia: I'm not in the mood for your jokes. So how long have you been spying on me?
Lucius: Not too long. Just enough to see you are upset in finding nothing that can used to do something to that witch.
Felicia: Did Darakai sent you here to spy on me?
Lucius: Maybe. And maybe no.
Felicia: Cut to the chase. Lucius. Stop beating around the bushes.
Lucius: Fine. Yes I was sent here to spy on you. But not Darakai.
Felicia: Knew it. But who?
Lucius: Wouldn't you like to know?
Felicia: Ugh. You're starting to get on my nerves. Again. I am in no mood.
Lucius: Sorry. That information is confidential. If I say anything, I get killed.
Felicia: That's funny. I thought you were never afraid of death.
Lucius: Yes. But this instance I am. And you should be too. If you fail this mission, you know what happens.
Felicia: I know. My life is over too. But not like it matters. My sole goal to end whitelighters and all like that. Like that Melinda Halliwell.
Lucius: Yes. But you failed too. Remember. Two years ago. You fell in love like a sick puppy. And when she found out who you really are. That woman wanted nothing from you.
Felicia: It's not going to happen with Melinda. I promise you. I felt so disgusted touching her that night and just a while ago.
Lucius: We'll see what happens. I'll check on you later.

Bounty Demon: What do you want me to do? Another someone getting involved with Felicia is bad for you.
